Yeah sure, I called the number that's online (1-888-242-2100) and then hit the following keys:

1 → UCI# → 1 → 1 → 1 → 3 → PR Application number# → 1 → Birth year → 1 → 1 → 0

After hitting 0, you either will be put in a queue if there is a spot or it will say that the agents are busy and will ask you to try again. You can try again until you are put in the queue.

I just explained her that it's been more than 180 days for my initial PR card application but the online processing time says 60 days. It is literally 3 times what they claim on their website and I would like to know what's going on with the application.

I think I either got lucky or she basically made up stuff to sort of pacify me. Either way all I can do is wait couple of weeks.

In the past I had an agent literally say that he can't even access my file and there is nothing he can do about my application. He just asked me to wait so there's that. YMMW.

Thanks, I tried calling them twice but they were busy.. Will try later.

PR Application number#
Where can I find it? They have correspondence ID in the head of the mail and that is it.

Not sure about the correspondence ID but if they have reached out to you then they would have mentioned the application number. I have linked my PR card application to my CIC account so I can see the application number there.

I was trying to link application, but it does not as you have to choose the citizenship. I do not have any, so I stuck there. I mailed on July 7th. AOR was on 26th of October. Week later I had a mail from MSP confirming name change. It is already like 80 days in process. So the question is, how to reach them not knowing application number. Any help is good now. I know that someone here is waiting from June. Thanks a lot.

I sent my application around mid-Sept 2021 (Sydney office) and still haven't received AOR or anything... Anyone else in the same boat? At this point I'm starting to wonder if I should just sent it again, but it's a little frustrating to have that uncertainty.

I sent mine in the first dates of July - got AOR 26th October. technically 4 month on the shelf. If you have a signature of delivery, then wait (due to extremely crazy covid upline, it is all about travel restrictions). I have read some news article about PR, and they say up to 11 month of delay, due to feds regulations.
