You need to wait around 2 months, then you will receive an update from IRCC. So around the beginning of May, you will see your application.
So late? If processing time is now 86 days since they receive my application package will the timer start when I receive update from IIRC in May or when Canada post actually delivered it on Mar 13th?

When you say application received by IRCC is it the time Canada post(or similar) delivered it when you used your tracking number or is it something you can check online?
Referring to the delivery date informed by canada post.

@chs what do you mean by soft DM.
Thanks
Hi, @visa_4all , pretty much what I said in the initial message - in mid-February, my PR status went from nothing to "Acknowledgement of Receipt" and then a couple weeks later, it changed to "Decision Made", but, when I clicked on the link to look at details, the last recorded change was the AOR, not the DM, so it's a bit confusing as to when the DM happend - had I not logged in and noticed it, I wouldn't have known (I didn't get an email or any other such notification saying that I had had a status change)

Hope that helps.

EDIT: Status changed to "Complete" and notes say "Card mailed" - still no email notification about it, however.

@chs what is the timeline from AOR, DM and Complete. Where did you see the notes. Thanks
Hi, notes for PR Renewal are in my sig, below. The "soft DM" is hard to track because I don't remember exactly which Wednesday it was, but I want to say the 10th of March. When you log into the IRCC portal, you can click on the status under your name for "Permanent Resident Card Application" and it should show you the dates. Note that the "delivery date" didn't show up until they officially AOR'ed. If you don't have that section when you log in, it's because it hasn't been entered into the system, yet.

Hope that helps.
