Hi,

I got news today from IRCC: my PR card renewal "has been selected for pick-up, rest assured that you will be informed of the date, time, location for pick-up, and of the type of documents you will be asked to bring with you in due time."

Does anyone had to pick-up the card in one of IRCC offices and want to share your experience?

This is my timeline:

I saw in the thread that someone got request for pick up in person and has been waiting for that for 4 month because of covid. Please share you further experience

Received all 3 cards on 30th April
Were you urgent applicant? Why yours was mailed just three days after they start processing, and for some its taking more than a month?
 
Why some get selected to pick up their card?
Quoting IRCC email:
"Once the card issued, it is sometimes randomly selected in order for you to pick it up in person at an IRCC office. This random selection is done to allow IRCC to gather information in our continuous effort to improve the processing of PR card applications."
 
Thanks for your reply
