Hi Guys,
I would like to share my case.
I submitted a PR card application through the PR Portal (Online) on September 1, 2022. After a week, I entered the portal and checked the status, then found a return reason: "photos are missing". I realized that I did not write my name and D.O.B on the back of photo. Therefore, I just put the details and submitted it again with the same receipt on September 16, 2022. Until the middle of December, I didn't get any email or update from IRCC, so I submitted the webform and received a response email with an application number around the end of December. Finally, I could link the application to my IRCC account(GC key). The IRCC status was submitted, so I sent web forms several times. (The answers were always general responses.) I checked the IRCC account every day. The first ghost update was on Jan 30, 2023, then finally approved the application on Feb 7, 2023. Yesterday I received the actual PR card in a mailbox.
I hope you guys will receive the PR card soooooon!
You know what? the PR Portal status is still fkn "submitted."
