I had sent my PR card renewal application in on March 26, 2015, CIC received it March 30, 2015. They did not start the application process until May 11, 2015. I was unable to get a online application status until May 19, 2015. This is what it said:
1.We received your application for a permanent resident card on March 30, 2015.
2.We started processing your application on May 11, 2015.
3.Your request for a permanent resident card was approved on May 11, 2015. Your Permanent resident card will be mailed to you or if quality assurance is required, made available for you to pick up at a CIC office.
Even though on May 14 it had shown on the website they are working on application received up to March 30, I didn't get a status update until May 19. Guess the long weekend slowed the system up a bit?
