PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

[lenium]

Hi all,
My father's application for renewal of his PR Card was sent back to me because the print of his passport biodata page was not clear enough. They requested a better print and instructed me to include the letter sent to me as part of my package sent back to them.
Does anybody know if this will put us back at the end of the line or not? Do we have to wait another three months for them to open our package and send us the AOR?
Thanks.

Hi
No, I have not received it, more than 4 weeks now since it was mailed. I did get a confirmation from IRCC (both by phone and by email as a response to webform request) about the address where it was sent to - so I am quite sure I am monitoring the right mailbox...
I called Canada Post to see if there is any specific problem with letter mails arriving to BC around this time, and they said there are general delays, but nothing specific. To my question when is the cut off time that I should consider the mail is lost rather than delayed, they said wait one more week (I asked 2 days ago...).

6 weeks after your card has been mailed counts as delay time. Funny enough that i have never resided in a country before where national regular letters take up to 6 weeks to arrive. Funky.

Hello,

I have sent the PR renewal application by regular Canada Post on Jan 12. Can anyone advise how much time they take to send the AOR.

Thank you.

Add 2 months to get AOR.

You can submit a request through webform. It is mentioned on CIC's website. You need to submit proof for your urgency and only certain criteria are covered.

That’s if they put it in the system and sent you the AOR.

oh that's correct.

Do you have any other applications like citizenship in process at the moment? I have read in previous posts that this can cause issues in monitoring GC Key several applications at the same time. Other than that…i am not sure. Anybody to help out here?

No other applications just PR renewal.
One more thing my application is in process since 11 December do you think it's normal ?

Ours received August 6. Started processing November 8 and no movement since then. Brace yourself for a possible long haul, but cross your fingers that yours is one of the ones that moves through quickly!

Welp, one somewhat disappointing data point here: my renewal app was delivered in late August, went "in process" in mid-november (never changed to DM). I was then recently asked for the Full Monty of entry-exit records from all countries I've lived in, passport photocopies, etc.
I'm guessing they suspect non-compliance with RO. I applied with a bit more than 750days back then, with the number of days only increasing since then (a bit more than 900 now). I did however go out of compliance by about 2-3 weeks before "recovering" those days prior to applying.
I know my RO math is correct, so I should be ok from that perspective. It's just the additional delays and the literal burden of proof that are disappointing. Oh well.

It's quite possible your case is different obviously, esp. if you haven't heard from them yet. I'm just sharing mine FWIW. I see someone else recently starting a thread about a similar request they got for their entry-exit records. Maybe the practice is picking up, or maybe it's just the same agent being super diligent.

Thanks for sharing. I sure hope that ours is just stuck in the queue. It would be a pain to go back and recalculate days out of Canada - though ours are not even close to the maximum allowed. I (stupidly) didn't realize we needed to keep track, so needed to go back over photos of vacations to figure out the days we were gone. I might have messed up a couple of exit and entry dates and have been wondering if that is what the holdup is (as it would not match their border records?). Seeing the total number is less than 100 for the entire 5 years, I wouldn't imagine this would be a problem. I'll check the other thread as well. It would be nice to hear from them - when we called they said "all requirements have been met". Just not sure what the delay is then. We will just wait patiently. Maybe start on our next renewal so we get that card in time. lol

ECAS is DM since Jan 14th. kind of worried about whether they approve of not.

One question, in the application form i put my current mailing address, however, i realized my mailing address on ECAS is my former address and got it changed online three days ago, but today still dosent change to my current address. Does the card go to the address on ECAS of my application package?

I have the same situation as you. 3 in my family got AORs and then DMs, only 1 got AOR but then left in process on ECAS.
