Permanent Resident Card

1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on September 24, 2021.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on December 22, 2021.
3. We started processing your application on December 22, 2021.

It still shows "In Process" in eCAS site for me and "Decision Made" for my wife. We sent the applications together in a single envelope. How much time does it usually take from 'In Process' to 'Decision Made'?

Just now got hold of one agent. Got same update as below:

Everything looks good and approved, passed- forms, photos etc... The card is sent to production as per the update that he can see. No timelines he can give for card to be mailed out.
Keeping fingers crossed, let's see by when we get the card.
I think, couple of people got card mailed update in ECAS today and yesterday. Hopefully, will get soon..

Great, can you just let me know what’s the message on automated status update as my ecas show decision made since last month and when I called today, I couldn’t get hold of agent as the line was too long while automated staus was my case under review and they are evaluating it, no interview required … so is it standard or there is two different statuses.

1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on August 20, 2021.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on November 18, 2021.
3. We started processing your application on November 18, 2021.

4. Today, we have received below response from IRCC:

---
Dear <Wife old name as per PR card name change application>:

We have received your application for a Permanent Resident Card and note that the name on your application differs from that on your Record of Landing or Confirmation of Permanent Residence document.

We are unable to process your application without proof of a legal change of name linking your name at landing and the new name you are requesting. Please submit a copy of all the applicable linking documents from the list below which link the name on your Record of Landing and your new name:

• Legal Change of Name Document
• Court Order, divorce decree, revocation of declaration or annulment of union
• Adoption Order
• Marriage Certificate, registration, declaration of union (PROVIDED – NO NEED TO RESUBMIT)

In addition to the application linking documents requested and submitted from the above list, you MUST also submit a copy of the following:

• Provincial ID (from the province in which you reside) in the name you are requesting on your Permanent Resident Card. Identification should include the name, date of birth, photo and signature of the applicant (i.e. Driver’s license, Photo ID Card, Health Card, etc.)

Note: Provincial ID is not required if you have provided a legal name change document issued by a province within Canada.

If we do not receive the requested information within 30 days of the date above and your card will remain valid for more than one year, we will consider your application for a permanent resident card cancelled. Any new information submitted after the 30 days will require a new application, fee, photos and relevant documents.
---

In this case which additional document I can submit? I have only new passport copy and Indian state govt. gazette.
Service Ontario confirmed that, they can change the name on DL and Health card once it get changed to PR card so I don't left option to submit Provincial ID.

Do I need to change the name of CoPR document by raising web form?

Can someone please help with this one and let us know how to proceed further?

Great, can you just let me know what’s the message on automated status update as my ecas show decision made since last month and when I called today, I couldn’t get hold of agent as the line was too long while automated staus was my case under review and they are evaluating it, no interview required … so is it standard or there is two different statuses.

I have not fully understood that as well. There is ECAS and then there is MYCIC where you can link your application. ECAS says Decision made and MYCIC says its under rewiew and in progress. A bit confusing.
