Initial PR Card advise?

Hi!

I became a PR in June 2021 (under CEC category).

I received my e-COPR via the PR card Portal the same day - I immediately uploaded my digital photo & address.

Since then, I have received no correspondence from IRCC.

Despite the 'processing times' for an initial (first) PR Card being 80 days. I've been waiting well over 3X this time - nearly 300 days!!!!

I've called IRCC multiple times, raised webforms, requested GCMS notes - NOTHING.

It's so disheartening and stressful. Especially when I learn about other applicants receiving their PR card in a matter of weeks.

I feel helpless, hopeless & disappointed in IRCC's policies/operations.

What can I do? My PR Card application is submitted and open but no movement. A call center agent confirmed that IRCC accepted my photo and address when I called a month ago but nothing on the PR Portal site, or on my CIC account. I'm desperate. Please share your thoughts.

Thanks

Did you try contacting your MP? Not that it is necessarily going to help (quite possibly, it won't), but they would have to inquire on your behalf, better than nothing..
I am at around 150 days, and it doesn't even seem they started processing yet.

Welcome to Canada of Mr. Trudeau, the most liberal, progressive and pro-immigrant country on Earth.
I have voted with my feet years ago, by fleeing Canada. Wishing you all good luck!
