Our time line:
1 We received your application for a permanent resident card on April 11, 2016.
2 We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on June 6, 2016.
3 We started processing your application on June 6, 2016.
4 Your request for a permanent resident card was approved on June 30, 2016. Your Permanent resident card will be mailed to you or if quality assurance is required, made available for you to pick up at a CIC office.
For number 4 ECAS was updated between July 8th or 11th (ECAS was accessed on july 11th)
Now after reading what happened with Canada Post, we still do not know when PR cards will be sent (or if even we have to get them personally)
Citizenship and immigration applications: documentation
Until IRCC resumes using Canada Post mail services, we will contact you by phone or email if we need additional documents to process your application; and a delay would cause problems.
If we contact you for these documents, follow the instructions we provide. You may need to send the documents by email, by alternate courier or through our Web form. We will accept electronic copies of correspondence or documents where legally possible. We reserve the right to request original documentation at any point.
Permanent residence (PR) cards
PR cards will be mailed when IRCC resumes using Canada Post mail services. Urgent PR cards may be sent by an alternate courier to you or to a local IRCC office for you to pick up.
Now we wait.....
UPDATE
IRCC has resumed using Canada Post mail services
Effective July 11, 2016, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has resumed normal processing procedures for applications using Canada Post mail services. We have resumed sending documents by mail. All documents held during the special measures will now be sent.
We are monitoring the Canada Post situation and will provide new instructions as needed.
