2016 PR CARD APPLICANTS TIMELINE

[Raja420]

I had no idea one could apply for CDN citizenship in advance. I thought you have to be a PR for 3 years and then apply for citizenship.
I would like my wife to apply but how does it work. how long is the wait time for getting the Citizenship card? Can one apply from the US?

I never Said I am not a PR. I just renewed my card. The card has a Five year Validity

Good news,

R Renewal time was again reduced today (Mar 21 update). It dropped down from 124 to 103 days .. ;D ;D ;D
Now, they are working on applications received on January 4, 2016.

When I sent my application on Feb 16, the processing time was 171 days .. At that time, they were working on applications received on September 16, 2015.

Hello everyone,

I sent my application on January 4th, never recieved an AOR but checked ecas today and it says:
Application Received ----------------------- March 9 2016
Started Processing --------------------------March 10 2016

Now I am confused why I never got an AOR per email, is that normal?

Also my current living adress in canada is current, but my mailing adress states the adress of my home country. I immediately changed it online but I remembered that I have already tried it a year ago when I became a PR, apparently it didn't work. I am worried that this might cause problems (although I wrote the right adress on the application).
I applied for a new card because of a legal name change, I just became a PR a year ago, I thought they would process it pretty fast....but 20 days seems pretty long, or is this normal?

Hello again,

just for your info:
My timeline:
Application recieved---------09-March-2016
in Process--------------------10-March-2016

I just talked to CIC and even though my ecas status still says "in process" my card was already mailed to me on 28-March-2016. It seems like they are working really fast these days

Wish all the best to everybody still waiting!

Congratulations VHMMBC
Did you apply for urgent processing ? How many days did you have in Canada ?

 

[VHMMBC]

No I did not apply with urgent processing!!! I was really suprised when she told me that the card is already on its way.
And I just became a PR in April 2015, I needed a new card because of a legal name change ( I got married to my sponsor in June 2015), but I was still worried about my application because I haven`t actually moved to canada yet, I just sent the application when I was in Canada for holidays. So the application was sent from within canada but I thought there might be a chance they would deny it because I don´t life in Canada, but it looks like they don`t care so much about this anymore. Even though this "counting days" didn`t apply for me, I still had to fill out the travel history and adress history and work history etc.....

I have the same issue, they entered wrong unit number in the same building for wife's application. I changed it online to the correct address. Hope this should update their systems. Currently status is in process

I advise you to call them and make sure that your address is successfully updated
