Hi All,
I have to renew my PR card (Expiry march'22) from within canada, travel plans to India in Feb'22 .

1. Can someone please confirm if you got your PR renewed recently and how much time it took from application submission to receiving the renewed card on hand?
2. I have to renew the PR cards for me and my spouse. Should we send 2 sets of applications completed and mailed separately ?
3. There are 2 options provided in the checklist ? Should we send by courier or regular mail ? Which is advisable ?

Thank you !

Application received at IRCC May 14, processing start date sep 9, still waiting to receive card.
I also had two applications - I completed separate application for each applicant, paper clipped each application and put both into one envelope, there was no issue as both applications are now showing as received and has the DM status on ecas
I registered mailed the application so that I can track the application and have proof of application receiver signature at IRCC

I

DM. Stay was 741 days just over the requirement of 730 days.
However, the ECAS is showing my old address and not the one I sent with the application.
Perhaps complication?

It's more like clerical error on IRCC's side, send a webform first then call them to update this. If it's already in DM, you are most likely over the complication part - it 99.9% means your application is approved and will be sent for printing soon.

Application Delivered: May 6th, 2021
AOR: Sep 2, 2021
Processing: Sep 2, 2021

Says DM, not sure when the card will arrive. Am starting to panic as I have a citizenship interview coming in 3 weeks and I need my PR card for that.

I did my interview in March. Expired PR cards work - you'll be fine without a valid one.

Seems like they sent you a letter for more information? Cause if it's PR card it should show "Your PR Card is mailed xxxxxx". I would call in and make sure of this.

Nothing as of now. I see some people who applied in june are actually getting the cards but some applicants who applied earlier are still waiting. This whole process is very frustrating

Hello everyone,

I had received my E-CoPR on 12th June and had uploaded the photo on the PR portal along with providing the mailing address. It is my first card and I still have not received it nor has the status changed on the PR portal. It still says 'in review with IRCC' under the photograph. section The declaration has already been approved long ago. It is past the current processing time now and I am starting to get worried. It should not be that complicated for a first card, should it? I have tried linking it to my IRCC account, but despite trying almost all the combinations of spellings for the Place of Birth and the Last name under 'Search with UCI and Last Name', I am unable to find and link it! They would not give any information through phone calls or webforms saying they are too busy with 'the situation in Afghanistan'. I need to travel in late November and it is frustrating to see their incompetence. Is there anything I can do here? Thank you!

Did you try with LastName and UCI and put the "City of birth" exactly what in your passport?

Note that, in your passport- if the city of birth is having place and province name, make sure that there is any space between city and province, if yes you have to put the space as well while try to link your application. (for example xxxx, xxxx). In my case there was a space after city name and comma .

Seems like they sent you a letter for more information? Cause if it's PR card it should show "Your PR Card is mailed xxxxxx". I would call in and make sure of this.

Also, the status should be changed to "Complete" if the PR card is sent in the mail. If the status is still "Decision Made" and not updated as "Complete" is not a positive sign. Please call asap instead of waiting further.
