Hi,
I've got the update on my PR card renewal today
1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on September 15, 2015.
2. We started processing your application on September 16, 2015.
3. Your request for a permanent resident card was approved on September 21, 2015. Your permanent resident card will be mailed to you or if quality assurance is required, made available for you to pick up at CIC office.
My application actually arrived at CIC office on July 15, 2015 not September 15, 2015 as they updated in the system.
So processing time for my application until decision made is 68 days.

Folks, I've just noticed here - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp - that today it does take 156 calendar days to renew PR card.
Assuming everything is OK with application, do they count those 156 days from the day they have received it at CIC office or from a day they've physically opened an envelope??
on the website they say they are working on applications received up to May 14, 2015 and mami_79 (congrats, mami_79!! ) has sent an application on July 15 and got everything sorted out on September 21st.... So, how is that possible? Had "urgent processing" been involved?
Thanks.

Thanks.
156 days is from the time CIC received your application. mami_79 has been really lucky as her file was processed earlier... I believe it was just a luck... She did mention that it was normal processing not urgent processing.

kbanatwala, thanks for your reply. I guess mami_79 was really lucky then to get her case processed that fast.kbanatwala said:
I sent my application in on June 26th, haven't had a status update yet. Called and they said they haven't received anything 
Also have citizenship application in process, since March 2014. Had the test in January and passed. Had to submit some documents explaining travels (was engaged in Texas), met all the residency requirements though. Taking their sweet time.

hhey high five,
When i log into cic, i dont see any such updates. My update says you landed at Pearson international and became a pr, That's it. What does that mean then? Does it mean that they didnt receive my pr card application?
You'll get a status update only when they start to process the application. In the ECAS report, it will state when they received the app and any other information.

It's definitely a case by case basis. For example my PR went through within about 4 months of processing. MY citizenship went through within 8 months but never updated in ECAS. It still says "We started processing your application on April 14, 2014" And I've already sat the test.

Wait a min. If I read correctly you earlier said that you sent the application on July 18th. Right? So this means they have are processing applications, at least till July 18th. But the CIC website says they are still processing applications from May 25th. Seems like the CIC processing status update is not up-to-date.
Btw, I sent the application in first week of August. Nothing on ecas. No acknowledgement or anything. CIC should atleast acknowledge that they have received the application.

Yes, my application reached CIC on 15 Jul according to Canada post tracking. I wonder that the date of application that is processing on CIC wrbsite is based on the last application that they are still working on it. For example, there were 100 applications reached on 25 May. If there is 1 application that is complicated and pending for additional document or whatever, CIC might still put that they are processing the application from 25 May even though many applications sent later than 25 May have been already started processing.
By the way even though the ecas showing that my application is approved on 21 Sep, I still have not received PR card or letter to pick up the card. Not sure how long will it take.
