I hope yours arrived before you leave for New Zealand. Whats your game plan if it doesn't arrive?
This is my first card renewal and when I applied the turn around time was around 60 days. I guess everyone wants to travel now! lol
Sending positive vibes your way in hopes your card arrives before you leave!
Thanks! This is also my first PR card renewal and yeah - the processing time has gone up steeply since we submitted. I've all but lost hope of seeing a new PR card before I depart so I've started looking into what I need to do to obtain a PRTD to return to Canada. I emailed the Canadian Visa Application Centre for NZ to ask what the current processing time is... but they replied stating that there is no standard processing time... but cases are looked at on a priority basis (hopefully that means by date of intended travel to Canada). So I do have a backup plan - but really hoping I don't have to use it!

You can try sending them urgent processing request, provide them a copy your flight ticket, plus any medical/job reason if you have. If you are going for vacations, they do not consider it urgent application !!! stay positive, I wish and hope you ll get it before Halloween

Hello guys ! I’ve applied for PR Card Renewal in Aug’21 as I need to travel end of November. My citizenship application is also in progress. When I try to check the status of PR card renewal it just shows the Citizenship app status. Does anyone know how I can check PR card status ? Also is there any way I can expedite the process as I’ll need my card for travel purpose. Anyone had to deal with this kinda situation ? Thank you !

End of August applications will probably processed end of November early December at best. I don't think you will have before.

You will see your PR card status tomorrow morning. No need to worry :)

Also - do you know the exact date that your application reached Sydney, just so people can have a better sense of the general timeline.

Your card seems to be selected to be picked up in person. Call them and know for sure. If yes, you will need to wait until the local office contact you.
