I think it's a new PR card application.

Until you before a citizen, you remain as a PR. Unless your oath happens first, your PR card renewal will go ahead.

I want to be optimistic. It’s just hard to. COVID situation is stabilizing across the country but all offices are still closed for in person services… I know some who were selected for PR card in person pick up from March 2020 are still waiting to pick them up…

Congrats! I think you will do your citizenship ceremony mid next year. I saw earlier someone posted that Scarborough‘s ceremony is fully booked out till May 2022. So you’ll have to wait them contact you.

I have no idea unfortunately. According to the Operational Manual established by the IRCC - the printing Is done at somewhere called Card Production Facility. I can only imagine they have a lot of cards to be produced and it's taking time. I think you should be able to receive your cards right...

My family member's one (just completed the process) DM was on Oct 22, on the card it says the printing date was Oct 24, mailed out Oct 27 and received it today (Nov 2)

Why would you want to request GCMS notes for this? I know you are worried but there's no point. Unless let's say you are 3-6 months into the process and there's no update. You can try to call maybe after 2-3 weeks if your status is still IP. Just continue to check your status on eCAS for the...

How long have you been away? Maybe they returned your application for incompleteness and since you are away you won't be able to know. Try linking your application in GCKey. Is your PR card still valid to return to Canada? When you come back and there's still nothing - reapply from there.

Client Application Status

Sounds like a ghost update from GCKey. When did you apply?

You'll see it on eCAS tmrw morning.

I have seen people having from In Process to Decision Made ranging from days, to months, with extreme cases into years. But if you are in good compliance of your RO, your travel history is accurately reported and you appear to be well settled in Canada. There should be nothing to worry about.

That's a bit too long. Are you able to check your status on eCAS or GCKey?

Normally an application goes straight from AOR to DM. If you are in In Process - it most likely means they are verifying your information on your file, as well as physical presence. I remember some senior members mentioned that In Process refers to some degree of non-routine processing of your file.

Update on this: PR Card received in mail today (November 2, 2021) in the GTA.

Congrats, 99.9% of chance it means your application is approved and is now sent for printing. You can expect it to be mailed out soon.

Yup. Your PR card's expiry date is for your own reference. Has nothing to do with how they evaluate your RO period, or how the new card's expiry date looks like. If you apply in Dec 2022 and let's say by then the AOR takes 2 months to come, and your application is approved in Feb 2023, then the...

From the date of issuance. That would be whenever they approved your application and sent it for printing.

By NO means that my observation is professional or accurate. Normally an application would go straight from AOR to DM. It appears you had a small time frame between that - but it's within a normal range I'd say, but DM 99.9% of the time means your application has been approved and is sent for...

Agreed. If your application is straightforward - DM to post should be in 5-7 days, and add another few days for receiving your card, at least the recent trend is showing us this.
