How long does it take after applying for renunciation of PR status (electronically) to get approved?

My residency card ran out in November and I did not meet the residency requirements to re apply as I have been living in the U.K. I recently applied for an ETA not knowing the permanent residence would be a factor in not getting approved and am applying to renounce my residence status electronically. I am wondering to those who have gone through the process, how long did your application take to get approved?

Average 2-3 weeks although no published timeline. Assuming you applied online through MYCIC and linked your letter in reponse to your ETA application to your renounce form.

Hi,
I'm going through the same process right now. I had applied for my study permit TRV for my graduate studies in McGill university starting from September 1st. My expired PR status came in the way and I applied for a renunciation of the same to continue my study permit TRV exactly a week back. I hope I can make it on time for my course :/

Please do let me know if you get any updates about processing times and status of your application. Good luck !

Hi everybody, Can I apply to renounce my Permanent Residence status electronically? I mean by submitting electronic copies of forms on CIC website or Canada.ca website?

@ajintom,

I am facing the exact same issue as you for my student permit. I am unable to find much information on the expected processing time online. Can you please share your experience on if you were able to make it in time for your course? Any help is much appreciated.
