Application changed to COMPLETE today in ecas. I see 4th line in ecas stating card was mailed yesterday Feb. 23rd. Now the wait for getting the mail starts.
Hello, could you please explain how you applied for urgent processing after you submitted? Thank you. I have a family trip booked for 2 weeks from today, also found out my mother is ill in Sweden at the moment, and I NEED my card to travel. Thank you for your help and advice.
I would like to know if anyone been through this situation, I went through the declaration process I uploaded my photo from December 24 and it is still in review. when I was uploading the photo it was saying the dimension was not correct, but I took that digital photo at Staples, so I go ahead and uploaded it anyway, does anyone think this can be the cause it is still in review?
My dependents are not here does anyone knows how their landing will go?
kind regards

If you received AOR already, then you need to request urgent processing through webform. In case you haven't received the AOR, you need to submit a new application with all documents, photo and copy of earlier fees payment receipt.
In both cases you need to attach:
1. Explanation letter suggesting reason for urgent processing. Reasons allowed are: Illness of yourself or a close family member or if your current Canadian job requires you to travel abroad.
2. Your confirmed air ticket
3. Payment receipt of your confirmed air ticket and mode of payment.
4. Most important: proof of Reason for urgent processing like : Doctor's note or employers letter stating you need to travel.
Urgent processing is possible only if you are traveling at least three weeks from the date of request. Else you need to apply for PRTD from the country you travel to..
I hope this clarifies most of your queries...
