I was able to get through to them internationally. They told me that on average, they are only sending out AORs for April applications now. They also told me that it may have been returned to my mailing address if info was missing, but I don't like at that mailing address, so it might be lost.

Which IRCC office they said sending the AORs? I'm an April 2021 initial PR Card applicant but still nothing on my GC key account so far!

So I am still waiting on my initial PR card after landing. I tried to apply for urgent processing and was told since I am waiting on my initial PR card I am already on urgent processing? They also said if I need to leave I can apply for a permanent resident document located outside of Canada before applying? Has anyone done that and know the wait time if I was to go that route? I have no faith as to when I will get my PR card.

Yes this is what they said to everyone who are waiting for their initial PR Card even-though you submitted the urgent processing documents I did the same thing and the best option is if you can't wait and need to travel outside canada return through US-Canada land border with valid copy of COPR,passport and Canadian federal/provincial government issued id in private vehicle(Not a commercial vehicle) instead of applying for the PRTD!

I had ‘decision made’ since Oct 14. But when I checked with Gckey it said ‘processing’. It was very confusing. And finally nov 17, it changed to ‘complete’ and got the message about it got mailed out.
I haven’t received my card yet, but hopefully soon.

Can I apply for US visa with no PR card? I assume that is needed if coming through the usa.

You should check with US embassy. I believe all you need is a valid passport, it has to be valid for at least six months after the expiration date of your visa. If you are Canadian PR, you should be able to apply for it from Canada (don't need to go to your country of origin).
