Hell Members,

What is link to see PR Application status:

I didn't see anything here https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?app=ecas&lang=en
Did you receive your AOR yet? Normally you would be able to check your status the second day after you receive it. If you have not received it, wait until you receive that letter (over email) - because that's the indicator that they have put your application in their system and they are beginning to process your application.

Hi
We had sent our application package for PR Car replacement (first card never received) (myself,spouse and 2 kids). 4 application in a single package. It was received at Sydney office on April 30th. My spouse got AOR 2 days back However didn't receive AOR for myself and my kids. Anyone had similar experience? What could be the reason?

TIA

Normally people don't know about if they have been selected for in-person pickup unless people notice it stuck at DM for too long. You can mostly find out that by calling or webform. They don't inform you the pick-up until an appointment is made over email/mail. Since IRCC offices have closed since March 2020, the pickup has been suspended ever since.
That is exactly what has happened to me. I sent my application last September, received an AOR in November and then heard nothing. I submitted a webform in January and they told me I'd been selected for pick up and I should just wait to be emailed with an appointment date. That never happened so I called them in March and I was told over the phone that my card was waiting in the nearest IRCC office but they weren't allowed to create an appointment for me with that particular branch and I just needed to wait for the email.

Since then I've heard nothing and every single webform I've submitted has eventually generated the same boilerplate response. Quite frankly I think it's disgusting. If they're not going to allow people to collect them then they shouldn't be selecting any for collection. Fortunately I've been able to obtain OHIP etc using my CoPR but even the people at Service Ontario who have asked to see my PR card have found this whole situation ridiculous whenever I've told them why I don't have it.
