Hi All,
I have sent mine and spouse's PR renewal application by Courier to processing center, they received the package last week.

Generally when will they send acknowledgement that they received our application ? Will it be an email to the email mentioned in the application or do we have to check the status in the eCAS url ?

They don't send you an acknowledgment when they have received your application, they send it when they open the file for processing. It called AOR ( Acknowledgement of Receipt) and will be displayed in your ECAS. You usually get an email when the update ECAS with the AOR

Oh Okay, Thanks ! then its a Waiting time until I get AOR ..
Looking at previous messages from others I see its taking a couple of months at least from the time of Sending the application and receiving AOR : -/
Hoping the Dec holidays time should not delay processing further

If I have to travel outside country for vacation, I can go just enter before a week of my PR card expiry date ? I mean a Valid Pr card that is going to expire within a week .??

Hi

Answer your first question, if all is well you should get an AOR within 4 months again it all depends on IRCC .. nothing is for certain ..

Answer to your second question - You can travel and enter Canada even one day before your PR card expires.

valid PR card is just that, a card. What you need is valid PR status. If you have valid status the card will identify you and get you admitted. However, you have to make sure you are not in breach of RO. Border authorities of Canada are extremely hostile to immigrants and will intimidate you if they feel they can revoke your PR status. So, just be careful. Make sure your paperwork is in order. You don't want to give them a chance to harass you and give you a hard time

Status is decision made since September 16 However since then there is no update. I submitted several web forms without getting a proper response.
I am stressed my PR will expire and I won't be able to travel.
Any idea what I can do to know what's happening. I have seen that other applicants from May June and July are receiving their cards !

Call them by phone tomorrow morning. Your card may have been sent out for in-person pick-up at the local office.
