My PR card renewal application was delivered on April 9th ( as per Canada post tracking ).
AOR received today - July 26th .
No Update on ECAS yet.
I got the same email this morning, according to them the application was received Apr 9th (although my tracking said April 6th!). Nothing in the system when I try to check my status yet.

PR card renewal application received on March 25, 2021.
AOR and decision made on July 5, 2021.

It’s been 3 weeks since status changed to decision made but I have not received any updates since then. From what I have seen in the forum so far, it usually takes 1-2 weeks after decision made for the PR card to be mailed out but my status is stuck at DM. Anyone else from March applicants in the same boat? Any advise on next steps? Thanks.

Just a question regarding the photos required for the renewal of pr card, do the photos have to be taken within 6 months at time of submission or
when they open the application

My PR application (first card) was received on March 29th at Etobicoke IRCC. No Aor, no update since then. I submitted couple of webforms to which I got a generic reply. I am so disappointed. By July 29th it will be 4 months (=120 days). Not sure what IRCC is doing or whether they are doing anything or not.

If you don't mind, what additional documents did they ask for?

I had a name change and my legal deed poll from my home country is not acceptable here even my passport has that name change in bracket. So I have to do a legal name change again in Canada and the additional document requested was a legal name change certificate in Canada.
