As previouly said, i have sent my application on Oct 22nd and was received by IRCC on Oct 28th

I received an email yesterday and just checked the status of my application:
Permanent Resident Card
1- We received your application for a permanent resident card on October 28, 2020.
2- We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on January 13, 2021.
3- We started processing your application on January 13, 2021.

What would be the message in case of approval or refusal? When I sent my application, my passport was about to expire ( November 4th ), theybstill approve my application in this case?
PS: I have renewed my passport and I have a new one now (it took me 3 months from November to January)

No no not Canadian, if I have a Canadian passport I do not have to worry about my PR
For citizenship, I am planning to apply after I come back to Canada since I am willing to travel to my home country (that's why I want my PR ASAP)..someone told me to apply for citizenship now instead of PR renewal, thank God did not listen to them

Ok you were referring to the passport for your home country.

Hello

An update for my application:
  1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on October 28, 2020.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on December 30, 2020.
  3. We started processing your application on December 30, 2020.
The status has been "Decision Made" since last Tuesday, January 5th, and nothing has changed since then. Is it normal that the status has not changed for more than 9 days? Should I call them or send a webform? Any body in the same situation as me?

When was your application received by IRCC based on the AOR you received?

In my case, i believe everyone case too, only one an email to be received stating the application was receiced; then you have to check the website using the UCI# for the status
The status changed from in process to decision made without being notified by an email

No, after AOR-email, I received no email, nothing. I just check application status, and when I click on “Decision Made”, these lines show up.

Yea. I remember some people in this thread whose cards were mailed a few days after their status had changed to “Decision Made” in December, but since January, nothing.
