Email from CIC that PR card renewal needs secondary review

[Chrome]

34 days is the processing time for straightforward routine applications.
For us, it's the time for preliminary review before referral for a secondary review.

CIC could just allow permanent residents with expired PR cards to apply for PR travel document before leaving Canada so nobody will have to take the risk of traveling with an expired PR and no travel document.

They can just remove the third condition "are outside Canada" from the eligibility requirements:

"You can apply for a permanent resident travel document if you:
are a permanent resident,
do not have a valid PR card showing your PR status,
are outside Canada, and
will return to Canada by airplane, boat, train or bus."

This is indeed another reasonable suggestion. Perhaps with an alternative conditional: "are outside Canada OR have an expired PR card and an application for a new card pending"

That would address the problem faced by those who have a compelling need to travel abroad . . . and perhaps, similar to the recent change in policy regarding availability of urgent processing, limiting it to only those with certain compelling need to travel abroad, the availability of a PR TD by a PR in Canada could be likewise restricted.

All those affected can do is continue to send messages to their MPs and the Minister asking for such recourse, and hope the government makes an effort to address the problem.

Hey guys

Same story... was out of Canada for around 900 days in last 5 yrs. applied for PR card renewal on 21st October 2016. Received a letter in the mail on November 15th asking for all copies of my passport... strangely a week later today received another email saying OR card gone into dreadful secondary review. I did not even submit passport copies yet.

Only problem I only have latest passport from 2013 and have lost the one prior to that. Letter asks me to submit copies of passport or travel document held between oct 2011-2016. What should I do? Just send them the current passports copies and hope it suffices or should I send additional note saying other passport was lost?? In 2013 I was stopped at Canadian border while returning from USA and was called inside. So my file would show I was in Canada only.

I'm just worried if I say I lost my last passport it will unnecessarily delay my file further... please advice

Also my PR card is still valid till end of this month.

My problem is that the last two times I came into Canada, I used machine to scan my PR card and did not stamp my passport. It seems that is what triggered the secondary review.. In ATIP, they show that CoR is "unknown"!!
How is it our problem that they allowed people to do self scanning of PRs?? This is ridiculous !

I don't think using the machine has anything to do with the secondary review.

I used the self-service kiosk last time I entered Canada, and the entry date appeared in my travel history I obtained from the CBSA.
