Email from CIC that PR card renewal needs secondary review

[hukof10th]

I never received my first card yet, I spend so far 41 days in Canada , I became PR on March 9th 2014

Unfortunately pal, your application will be most likely rejected and you just wasted 100 bucks.

Whether it is the 24th or the 28th does not make any difference. You would need to count at least 4 months (and sometimes more than 15) from teh date you receive the letter to be through secondary review.
My card went to secondary review and it took CIC 7 months for them to get through it. Some people on thsi thread have been waiting for more than a year now, so when they actually started their review will have no change at all on your application

Looks like process has speed up.

Thanks to petition and continuous calling of MPs and Immigration minister.

My card is in production.
Sec Rev email Sep 2016
Card approved March 2017


Secondary review candidates have higher chance of RQs in Citizenship stage. So, call your MPs and Minister now to appoint more Citizenship judges and speed process for RQ application.

Thanks to all, especially AJK for kicking off the petition.

Hi all,

Yesterday, I received my card by mail, totally out of surprise. On last Friday, there wasn't anything on CIC website, so please never give up.

To brief myself, I got PR on April 30th, 2011, and card expired somewhere after June, 20th, 2016. I landed in Vancouver, but I reside in Montreal region. I am a family immigrant and my mother sponsored me.

my timeline is following:

July 3rd, 2016 mailed the application, with cover letter(with honest and detailed explanation of my situation), notarized full photo copy of passport, notarized driver's license, notarized notices of assessment from 2 years, letter from my employer, university transcript in English, application form, nothing else.(note here: DON'T TRY TO SAVE MONEY FROM THIS)
6th PRC received my application
August 12th 2016 they started to process
Sep 21st 2016 SR email received
absolutely nothing and whatsoever since then
March 6th 2017 I received my card by mail.

My situation actually worried me a lot. When I received my PR status, I was at my undergrad, at the end of freshman. so I still had 3 years and more to go. I received my diploma on July 1nd 2014, and then I landed in Canada on July 2nd in a dash, then landed a job on August 11th. Since then, I've never left the country and applied for renewal on the date previously mentioned. With some extra 10+ days that I spent in Canada prio to that, I spent more than 1000 days outside of Canada, which means I merely met the RO(probably 740+ days). I didn't know there was a thing called SR so that's why I applied at the deadline, and also I worried that an expired PR card might give me trouble. Actually it did give me trouble. I actually was applying for universities for master's study. Some universities asked for a valid PR card photocopy and I had to spend time on arguing and educating, but that's over since I've received offer anyways.

But things didn't look this well back then. So after SR letter received, I sent 2 physical letters to Sydney to inquiry my status and ask for response(politely), a number of phone calls to IRCC, and one ATIP request. Besides my pressure at work, I had to worry about a number of more things at the same time: whether school would deny my application without a valid PR card? how's my grandfather doing with his stroke early last year? Was my smoker grandmother's lung issue getting better? How could I meet my friends at my undergrad school who were about to finish their masters' in this late June? etc. You can totally imagine how much I was depressed and depressed.

But it's over. I officially have the (temporary) freedom again.

Given my experience and tight application, I am pretty sure you guys will be fine, as long as RO is met. Feel free to ask me question if anything is unclear.

Cheers,

Hi - I have a question that I have asked in other groups but interested to get people's opinion on in here since you have all been very supportive throughout my wait :

If you are eligible to apply for citizenship now, would you wait till C-6 passes or do you go ahead and submit your application?

Cheers,

 

[newcanuck1234]

Hi Saga...interesting question...if I was in your shoes, my preference would be to apply right away, especially if one has 4 out of 6 years under their belt and they do not plan to be in breach of the intent to reside clause till C6 comes into force. My feeling is that as soon as C6 is implemented, there will be a surge in applications leading to processing delays. It would be better to be ahead of that process. From what I hear, citizenship applications are being processed pretty quickly these days so better take advantage of that...plus C6 may take a few months to be implemented, why waste that time.

When did you receive the last message? Based on what grounds did you require urgent processing? I sent my file to Montreal office in March 2016, received secondary review notice in May 2016 and no news after that... Nothing at all!!! :'(

 

[hukof10th]

how does your ATIP go? I also requested one at the end of Jan and received reply at the end of Feb. you might get something there(though I didn't discover something useful in mine).
