Email from CIC that PR card renewal needs secondary review

[cnccnc]

Hi

For applicants facing delays and secondary reviews, kindly share if you were accounting for presence in Canada prior to 2013, apparently since CBSA maintains accurate exit entry biometric data since past 2 or 2 1/2 years believe since September 2012 so travel dates, absences from Canada in the last 2 - 2 1/2 years will be easily verified by CIC through CBSA records if there is any mismatch between the applicant's declared dates and the CBSA records, surely this will end up in SR. I am guessing that presences (no absences) declared prior to September 2012 may also end up in a long review process, CIC would not be bothered about absences as this you are already declaring but the "present in Canada" timeline on your travel history would be of concern to CIC and warranting added scrutiny specially if these were before September 2012. More details about the Govt. of US and Canada maintaining data records can be found on this link. http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/btb-pdf/ebsiip-asfipi-eng.html

Usually when the Airline swipes your passport at check-in, believe that data acts as an exit out of Canada so I wouldn't worry about exit records out of Canada but having said that another option available to record an exit out of Canada is to take a flight via US that way the entry stamp of the US Border services at any US-Canada border locations such as Pearson Airport or Buffalo will evidence exit from Canada on that day (In case one is unable to obtain a CBSA exit stamp)

My husband had a third line added to ecas saying they sent him a letter on January 14th. It still hasn't arrived.
Should we be worried? Is it likely to be SR? Thanks

Hello all,

1. I have applied for my PR renewal on - 05 June 2015

2. Started processing application and sent my application for second review and was told it would take additional delay on - Nov 5 2015

Still Im not hearing anything back from cic, I called them many times still same reply "we cant say the timeline since its case specific"

My wife is a PR too, I sponsored her.

My mother and brother live in Canada too,

My doubt is can I leave canada, will cic send my PR card to my address and my family members can give it to me when they come to India?

Please advise

In most cases, the card is mailed to you when issued. If you end up with this most common situation, you definitely can ask family/friend to pass new card over.

Chances are CIC could randomly select people to pick up their new cards at immigration offices. In the situation of picking up, you have to be in Canada physically. Two options you can choose if your current PR card has already expired by then:
* apply for a travel document which allows you enter Canada through commercial carriers
* or get a US VISA and drive cross the boarder in a private vehicle with the expired card

My case is similar, my application 11-June-2015, Secondary review 11-Nov-15 after that no document request, in my case my wife and children are Canadian and we have house, job and all T4, and I stayed 1175 days still i got secondary review. I think my case reason could be my 2 passports which are full with visa or exit entry stamps and CIC officer doesn't spent time to see that all visa are expired, he choose a easy way to through my file in secondary review. I learn from this forum that CIC have nothing to do with family or income if officer feel good your file is Okay otherwise he can keep you waiting for years.

Hi,

My husband also received a similar third line saying they sent him a correspondence on Feb 1st. It still hasn't arrived. We are worried too.
Did you receive the letter or mail? Please can you update me.

it doesn't make difference for secondary review files if lucky it will take one year otherwise God knows.

CIC should draw a timeline for secondary review cases also
