Hi All

Does getting a PRTD have any effect (quicker processing) on getting my PR card which is in secondary review?

Hi. Long story alert

I became a PR in 2011. I was only here for 3 months and i went back to school as i was studying dentistry at the time and my graduation date was in evitable. I finished my exams on wednessday and left the following Tuesday not even waiting for my graduation program which i was looking forward to after 6 years of the course.

I came Oct 22 2014 i only had 5 months during that time and the longer i stayed the more the 5 year frame shifted and i had to stay longer. I completed my two years stay exactly Oct 22 2016. I had 3 months extra in the 5 year frame i think i had 940 days of absence at the time ( i was adviced that it should be less than 1000 before applying)

I sent the mail and everything on Nov 3 2016 had to rush back to the post office because my dad told me to drop my expired PR card (card expired March 2016) Although a copy is the sams.

Honestly thought it will take 31 days as stated on the site so i did not bother applying for urgent processing till i came on here and started seeing 14 months 18 months 2 years with 10-12 months being the average i started panicking but praying. I bought my ticket In August 2016. I wanted to go visit my elderly parents and
also meet my in laws to be. PRTD did not look hopeful as in my country i dont even know the time line and the trip is just for three weeks.

Note i was never asked for additional documents


Here is my time line.

We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on November 28, 2016.

Next i called Feb 9 2017 and i was told it had been sent to production / processing which is the last stage and i should call in a weeks time.

I don't think so. My process is in secondary review since May 26th, 2016. I got a PRTD in Brazil on August 18th, 2016 and I'm still waiting for news...
