Has anyone tried to submit a complain at the CIC (Submit your feedback)? I have my PR renewal in a secondary review status since July 2015.
Welcome to torture chamber of CIC, secondary review means you lost all rights as a human, now you can't ask call center about your application status and you can't travel by air if urgent go by US border, we all are in stainless steel trap.

Very true! its the only place I can fit "lost all rights as a human" in! ;D

no timeline given
no information on where the application is
no one knows anything
wait is the only answer

Let's go to media and explain them how much difficulties when applications gone in secondary review, almost your future planes are finished, because if you need to travel only options is US border.

My simple question is why canadian government can't provide temporary or short term PR which will help the resident and local economy because secondary review applicant will never travel through US.

PRTD is a good option only when you stay month or more but if you are tavelling for a week PRTD is a disaster for you.

Agree with this there should be temporary prtd which can be applied with in canada before we take a trip outside for a week to 3 weeks

Hi All
I am in the same boat (applied for PR Card renewal in April 2015, secondary review email in July 2015, and nothing since then).
I met residency obligations, but with not too many "extra" days - around 40 (770 days) then, and keep meeting them now.
Moreover, I did travel abroad in November 2015 and have obtained multiple entry TD valid for one year. My (naive) assumption was that after TD (since residency determination has been performed by IO in consulate) my PR card would also be approved promptly. It did not happen... The urgency of renewal has been, however, decreased after TD since I do not have to worry about travelling until the TD expires...

I have not joined the petition list, as I do not think it is going to help. However, the option of going to media could work for my opinion.
This is because, it is quite obvious, there is no one (or almost no one) at the moment who process secondary review checks. All staff have been moved to process straightforward PR renewal applications in order to cut down the processing time that appears on the website. This is because there was a pressure from reports in media that there is a problem.

So, I really do not think there is someone there who intentionally prolongs processing of our secondary review cases. Why anyone would do that? It does not make sense. It is just that this "someone" got instructions to focus on cutting the processing time of other applications. What we have to do is to create media pressure for CIC to move some staff back to deal with our secondary review applications...

Very sad secondary review means you lost all rights to ask about your file, now you can't ask call center about your application status. Just you have to wait and wait and wait.

Hello everyone,
My PR renewal application is under secondary review now :(
The timeline is as follows:
We received your application for a permanent resident card on September 17, 2015.
We started processing your application on February 4, 2016.
We sent you a letter on February 10, 2016. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

I am planning to travel in July and want to apply for PR urgent processing through the case specific webform (will submit tickets and proof of payment). Has anyone done it before? Did you manage to get your PR card urgently processed?

Thank you in advance.

If you are under secondary review, no urgent processing for you! I'm in secondary review and submitted my tickets 2 months ago and nothing happened not even an email to confirm receiving my request!.
