I have a citizenship application in process for which I can check the status online at cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login. Because the citizenship process takes so long I needed to renew my PR card for which I previously was able to check the status online at services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas. But now, both sites only show info for my Citizenship application. My PR card renewal applications was delivered on July 12th, 2021 (posted July 7th). Is it possible that it's simply still too early now to see the status online?

Yeah people are reporting issues with PR card applicants not showing up when citizenship application is in progress. Try to add your PR card application via myCIC account and see if that works.

I have the same story. The system shows me only my citizenship status but nothing about the application for PR renewal.

Yeah, eCAS can’t handle simultaneous PR renewal and citizenship apps.

Just so you know, it took my relatives over 4 months from delivery of their PR renewal app (March 2021) to get AOR. Only got their cards a few days ago. Might also be too soon for you unless you went for urgent processing.

Just wait for the AOR in your email. If there are no issues, DM comes on the same day as AOR for many.

Thanks! I only managed to link my old PR card application from 5 years ago....the current one can't be found...well...it's going to be a waiting game as usual.
