Hi all

Can you share how long it takes for PR card after landed? I landed in mid-Nov but still not received PR card. It's almost 10 weeks....would it be really 100 days or even more based on CIC website? Anyone can share your experience? Thanks!

Unlike other CIC processing times, you can assume the PR card processing times are correct and not averages (although I would add an extra week to account for mailing time). So you still have a month or so to wait before you can expect to see yours.

My sister needed to renew her PR card and she had to wait over 6 months after she sent the application. She did her application last summer (mid June) and last week the card came for her.

A renewal of a PR card and the first intial PR card are NOT the same. They don't follow the same rules or guidelines for approvals. The initial PR cards will go fast than a renewal.

20-12-2015. PR Card Rec'd Feb 20, 2016
My wife landed on Dec 20, 2015. She was told she would get her card in 8 weeks. I believe at the time it was 58 days for a PR card. I hope the CBSA officer is correct because we have a flight overseas on March 18th and my wife will need her PR card! I am considering sending in an "urgent" application.

I landed on Oct 13, 2015 and am still waiting for my PR card.

Can we fly with the COPR paper? I did the week after I landed (had to attend a conference in the States) and had no issues. We're planning a trip soon and I'm wondering if it'll be an issue if I still don't have the PR card.

You can't fly with your COPR. You will have to wait for your card to leave the country

Not true. You can apply for a PR travel document to get you back in the country if you don't have a card.

Hi Al, I landed on October 16th and am still waiting for PR card. The processing time seem to increase by 10 days after every 10 days. The current processing time is 100 days.

When do you think my card will come as i urgently need to travel next week for a 3 days. Applying a travel document is a long process which takes 2-3 months!

When do you think the card will come! Thanks

I doubt you will get your PR card by next week. If you are just travelling across the border to the states by car, then you can just use your CoPR upon return to Canada. However, if you are travelling by commercial (airplane, train, bus etc) then you need to apply for travel document to return to Canada.
