Guys do you think my prtd application being under process is causing this delay for my decision made status? I had gotten the notification of my prtd application being under process just a day before I got my aor

Do they actually update the ECAS portal daily? Mine application has said "in progress" for a week on there and my correct name and contact information has not yet changed to what was submitted on my application or name change forms.
I've seen others who have gone from AOR to decision made by the next day. I'm wondering if any of you were able to see this change in the system right away, or if it took over a week for ECAS to update?
Hi, I also sent an application for name change on the pr card. when was your application delivered and when did you receive AOR?

Hi,

Type: PR Card Renewal
Application sent to Sydney, Nova Scotia via trackable mail on 13th April 2021.
Application received: 16th April 2021 (confirmed by Canada Post and AOR).
Acknowledgement of receipt of application on received at 08:37am on 9th August 2021.
Processing began: 9th August 2021.

Finally able to log in to ECAS, but it still says "in progress."

Like others in the forum, they have the incorrect name and mailing address in the ECAS system (for Canadian mailing address it has an address from my home country, despite me having completed a previous renewal from Canada). I filled out the update forms online, but the changes are yet to be reflected in the system.

I don’t have a Canadian number yet. So I was trying to update it in the system as they instructed. Once the PR card is in process can I see it in my express entry profile?
If you update it through ecas it may not work, or it may take long before it's updated. I would get a number and call them

I filled out the update forms online, but the changes are yet to be reflected in the system.
I managed to contact an agent at the call centre as my address was entered incorrectly in ECAS and they confirmed that my PR Card was mailed out to the correct address and that it just had not been updated on my end, so I would suggest calling them to alleviate some stress for yourself.

My timeline:

Application Received: April 6
AOR: July 22
DM: July 22
Card mailed: August 12
Card received: August 17

Thanks for everyone's help on here!
