Although 3 weeks gone tilldate no status showing in site.
Travel date is just 10 days ahead from today.
when will the status showing in the site ?
How long it takes to receive the card after showing the status on the first day ? Please answere
I do not have an answer for your specific questions but there is a significant risk your application will not be processed on an urgent basis, and actually a significant risk it could be subject to secondary review (if not a full residency determination), thus not routine, thus not processed within even the timeline for routine PR card applications.
It depends on the particular of your case and history and circumstances of course, so I do not really know the extent of the risk.
But obviously you have spent well over half the time outside Canada in the last five years, so just as obviously a total stranger bureaucrat reviewing the application to determine if you are eligible to be issued a PR card, including assessing compliance with the PR Residency Obligation, might decide to more closely examine your compliance with the PR RO.
There have been a substantial number of reports, over the last few years, by PRs who have applied for the PR card after just barely meeting the PR RO (less than 900 days, that is, with less than having spent half their time in Canada), who have been referred for a secondary review, some receiving the Residency Determination form and subjected to a residency examination, many encountering a significant delay in processing over and above the routine processing timeline . . . and it appears that those in this group who made an application for urgent processing (thus signaling their intent to soon again be absent from Canada) are particularly at risk for this.
If you decide to go ahead with the plan to travel, you may want to be sure to take a copy of your proof of residency with you . . . either for the purpose of applying for a PR Travel Document if you need one to return to Canada, or to have for an interview at the POE upon your return (here too whether there is a residency examination done at the POE depends on the particulars of your case, and whether or not in reviewing the PR card application there has been a flag entered into your GCMS/FOSS records which would trigger a referral to secondary at the POE . . . again, this is about risks not about what will happen for sure).
