Ok, that was pretty quick then for the one that went through. Bear in mind that applications are not lumped, but treated singularly. The other one will pulled through if all that was required was fulfilled
PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2020
- Thread starter Jabya
- Start date
Honestly, it’s too scary. I have an old address tied to my initial application of 5 yrs ago! I don’t even know the people living in that house anymore, LOL... What if they mail my card to that address? They should know that our current address is the one written in our renewal application. Frankly, it’s really really scary. When should I call them to make sure no obsolete address is tied to my account? After getting my AOR?
You can call them anytime to work on your account. Better to get rid of an obsolete address before a mail is mistakenly sent there.
Hello Sir/Madam,
I am Canadian PR holder currently stuck in India due to Covid .
My Husband, Daughter and I became Canadian PR in July 2018.
after becoming Canadian PR we had to move back to India to look after my old parents in law as my father-in-law had to undergo Open Heart Bypass Surgery.
In July 2019 my husband went alone and moved to Canada to search for a job and settle. I stayed back with my daughter in India to look after my parents in law. I got the full time permanent job in Toronto and currently my husband is a full time employee with one of the Canadian organisations in Toronto.
My plan was to travel back (My daughter and I) to Canada in March 2020 and stay with my husband but due to Covid Pandemic our plan got cancelled.
Now, I am planning to travel to Canada in the month of April 2021 and join my husband in Toronto.
Is my PR status still valid to travel to Canada?
Do I need to get any other formalities or procedures completed before travelling to Canada?
or do I need to apply for a Travel Document?
Your guidance and confirmation on the mentioned case is highly appreciated.
Thank you
Vinita

can i understand what do you mean that you link uci to check the status. i.e.when you receive your AOR do you receive any uci different that your original one to check with it.
you said you became PR in 2018, PR card is valid for 5 years, so your card should be ok to come back, you can go in and out as long as your card is valid, after spending 2 years in Canada, you submit for PR renewal, regardless of the validity of the card itself, as it is just a travel document to allow you to enter Canada.
- We received your application for a permanent resident card on October 19, 2020.
- We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on December 15, 2020.
- We started processing your application on December 15, 2020.
- Your Permanent Resident card was sent by mail on December 21, 2020.
Just write the real reason. If it was a vacation, just write “vacation”. If you travelled to meet your family, just write it. Frankly, as long as your honest in filling your application, you’re fine.
What does it mean when my status says decision has been made? Is that should be a positive or not necessary
It’s definitely positive. Hopefully the status would be changed to “mailed” over the coming days.
If you’re confident enough that you completely meet RO requirements, like you have about 10-30 days over 730 days, then it’s definitely positive. It takes some time for the status to be changed to “mailed”, specifically when we’re in the very middle of holidays. Hopefully you will see the change in your status soon and get your card. Cheers!
