My parents have been waiting for 3 months to get the PR card still nothing. And they can't get BC MSP card without it.
The web says the current processing time is only 58 days.

Around 3 months right now, maybe a bit more. The processing time is two months and then you have to factor in additional time for mailing. Normally the mailing is an additional 2-3 weeks. However it would be longer right now due to holiday mail volumes and also the number of holidays over the last few weeks where the post office wouldn't have been operating.
 
I'm in the same boat. I got approved for PR early Aug and still no sign of a PR Card. Bit concerning but maybe I'm just paranoid after all the ups and downs we went through to get this far. Unsure if 4-5 months is normal....

Another poster also landed in August and still waiting for the PR card to arrive.

My family just went through this. They CAN get MSP even though the MSP website says you need the PR card for your primary identify document. I called them and they told us to submit the eCOPR, proof of address, and picture of passport. After those are submitted, you have to go to ICBC to have your picture taken for a BCID or driver's license. They won't give you the BCID or DL with your picture on it until your PR card arrives, though, but MSP will then be processed and you get an MSP card/provincial health number without your picture on it. Once your PR card arrives, you send a copy of it in and they will mail you the combined MSP card/BCID (or driver's license, if they have one).
 
Here's my timeline below:

Nov 8 2021- Landed and applied for the card .
Nov 21 2021- Linked the card application to cic account on .
Jan 14 2022.- Received AOR in portal
Jan 21 2022- Checked and saw that it has been approved and mailed to me.

I did change my address to my new residential address through webform. I hope it is updated and I receive my card at this address.
 
Wife applied for renewal of PR @5 Sep 21 still waiting. Again reapplied 3rd week of Dec.21 and still waiting.
Kids applied 15sep21 received renewed pr for 5 years on dec 10.
Do not know how to follow up.
