Hi Everyone.. My PR renewal saga finally came to an end late last week ..
I had applied for urgent processing in first week of August for me, my wife and my kid.
I got renewed PR cards for my wife and kid in last week of August.. they met RO totally..
I was short of RO by 9 days - but that was because of my travel for Canadian Public Organisation.
My card was stuck and we had to cancel our tickets to India. I kept persuading with over 8 webforms, dozens of phone calls just to find out my card was processed in late September and sent for in-person pick up to Kitchener IRCC office.
There was no way I could reach to Kitchener IRCC, no phone, no email - I tried gate crashing one day without appointment nothing worked.. Wrote to my MP for help.. didn't work!! in the mean time phones and webforms continued (1 per week).
Finally I found an email id of kitchener IRCC from someone who took citizenship oath at Kitchener IRCC very recently... and that worked.. I sent mails and requests that please open the office and give me my PR that is with you since over a month and a half. Finally some kind hearted officer saw my mail (hopefully!!) and I got a call with an appointment.. and got my renewed PR card last week.
It's truly been exceptionally challenging and frustrating experience but thank god and that kind hearted officer that I got appointment and it was through.. only one peace of advise.. don't loose hope, keep trying, keep requesting - someone certainly listens persuasion and perseverance works.
My prayers to almighty that all of you who are in similar situation like me get your PR cards soon and happily travel. Amen.. stay blessed.. in case if I can help you anyways, please feel free to DM.
