PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021
- Thread starter Jet.a1
- Start date
I am a Canadian Permanent Resident and moving to the US as a US Legal Permanent Resident in Feb 2022. I appleid for Canadian citizenship on October 31 2021.
My current PR Card is valid until August 2023. However I want to apply for a new PR card to update it to my new married name (I got married in 2020). This is to prevent any issues with travel on commercial carriers.
The current processing time for a PR card is 130 days as per IRCC website. So, it is unlikely if I apply today that my PR card will arrive before I leave Canada. The form asks for your residential address and your mailing address. However the guide says that the PR card will not be mailed to a third party mailing address, and only to your residential address. So my problem is, I will not have a residential address in 130 days time. Any suggestions on how to get my PR card renewed?

Anyone have any advice? I sent my documents for my renewal on August 12th and they arrived there within 2 days (I'm in Nova Scotia and it was just going down to Sydney). I am yet to have any update at all, my application doesn't even appear to exist in the system as if it's not even been received and processed yet.
Has anyone else had a delay of almost 5 months for your application to even be received? I very much doubt there was an issue with the documents as I was meticulous in preparing them. Any advice on a number I should contact or should I just wait? I have 3 months until my current PR card runs out.

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
If thats the case..why dont you withdraw your application and send a fresh application cos you have already met RO...
I sent a new application on Sept 22, 2021 but i didnt withdraw the previous one.
do you think i should withdraw the first one
I’m in the similar boat, my entire family got the pr car in just one week after AoR, mine took almost a month in process and for last three weeks in decision made status but no details what devastation has been made.
Stuck there again
Did you get AOR for 2nd application? To withdraw application you need to give a reason.i think you should consult with immigration lawyer and see what they suggest.
Congrats, any idea when ur status changed from in process to Devi on made and than decision made to postal Mail of PR Card notification
No I haven't received AOR yet for the second application. Yeah I think I should consult with a lawyer. Do you know when roughly I should receive AOR for the second application?
Any advice?
TLDR - I will not have a residence in Canada 130 days from now. If I apply for PR card renewal now, how do I get it once it is processed?
You should get it in 3 months from the time when they receive it..i am just curious if they send the AOR as your first application is already in process..thats my doubt..
you know what,u you can also file for citizenship as you mentioned you were 7 days short and its been over a year so you might be eligible for citizenship if your days fall within 5 years..
Well thats the main reason. I want to apply for citizenship and one of the required documents is PR card. My PR card is expired looong time ago and I need to get new PR card to apply for citizenship. I am not sure if i can apply for citizenship with an expired PR card or not (i know my case is really rare)
I think you can as long as you prove 3 years RO. I have seen people in my close contact who breached RO and got the renewal. Think we two are facing consequences for not fullfilling RO
Let me know please if you get any info..I think you can as long as you prove 3 years RO. I have seen people in my close contact who breached RO and got the renewal. Think we two are facing consequences for not fullfilling RO
