To preface, I've been a resident since 1997 - I am *finally* applying for Citizenship!! In completing the application, I am reviewing the physical presence calculator, and have a question: In recording the absences from Canada, I have a departure that began before the eligibility period and...

Saranya, you might trying searching the forum with some details of what you asked - I vaguely remember reading about this previously, as our VIP members commented on this very thing previously.

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp There are some questions that you need to go through, and then you can enter some information on your case and the details of your question.

I would suggest you to send a webform. Calls into hotline are for very urgent situations right now. All we all can do is wait.

My experience was sh*t as we had an agent literally trying to goat my husband into an argument- hubby had nerves of steel. We got through unscathed. I had to cross again since without PR card, for work, while renewal was in process. Better agent this time (more humane and civil). I had all...

On the hotline, They even say a criteria for calling (their definition of urgency), and to hang up if not so, due their focus shift to the Afghan situation. Good effing luck to getting things now. First COVID, now this, what’s next? What a mess! I pray for the situation in AFghanistan, please...

I don't understand the holdup. Why don't they want to give people their cards??? They are perfectly fine to mail to some, but for those who have to pickup - seems like it is in a standstill, by why after all of these months ? It would seem that is plenty of time to work through COVID...

Has anyone just shown up at an IRCC Office to see if they will see them?

Be mindful right now, that due to an Election being called, the availability of the MPs is limited until the Election. Not sure how helpful they can/will be during this election time.

Oh man, don't get me started :). We were short in days for RO, but we have more than fulfilled that RO now, and COVID closing things did not help.

renewal

Yes, 18 months in waiting. Working on the Citizenship application - I might get that before the card LOL.

I got a similar reply from my webform: We have verified the information you provided and can provide you with the following details about the status of your permanent resident card (PR card) application: · The file was referred to the local IRCC office in Vancouver and an appointment...

CROWINMTL !! This is excellent news! So happy to hear you got your card!!! Thank Goodness to hear a good story, and thank you for your update.

Well the webform information is changing....but not really much more news to report...almost 18 months and counting..... There was an article of someone else in my area, who has been waiting for their card since Jan 2020! They are still waiting too. I heard that someone picked up their card in...

Preet, I was in your exact position. I opted to get a lawyer and applied under H & C considerations to renew my PR card. We had solid grounds. Covid hit and has delayed everything. We involved MP for PR Card info and MLA for healthcare. We have been back in compliance for over a year, and we...

Hi Steaky, Firstly, of course I do realize that IRCC and CBSA are not the same entities. Your comment that CBSA is always open, is exactly my point and reason why I suggested that IRCC piggyback off of that 'CBSA open status' to help reduce the backlog. It's being innovative and thinking...

I sure do! I've been waiting 17 months for our cards. Borders are opening now in less than two weeks. (oh joy!) Here is what I see, Citizenship applications are being concluded and interviews are being conducted remotely (online). Many new PR applicants are being processed without issues...

I heard from our MP and they said Vancouver Office is in a bad state - not sure what this means for a timeline, but things need to improve. We can't keep waiting.....
