PR Card Renewal: No updates at all from IRCC

[P@ssw0rd1]

I understand your frustration but please avoid duplicate posting. Some people say its required, but some say it isn’t. At this time just stay put and wait for your AOR first. If they require it later on they will get in touch with you. But I remember it’s not part of the checklist so I’m assuming it is fine.

Thank you.

Please advise my Permanent Residence visa is valid till Dec 2021 as I landed in Toronto in Feb 2021 with valid PRTD visa valid till Dec 2021 in passport.

Nothing will happen. Your visa is technically a travel document, and you are still a PR at the moment. You don't need to have a valid PR card and/or a valid PRTD to remain in Canada - unless you are travelling, the rules are different compared to workers/students/visitors.

Thanks for your reply, as PR Card is taking long time due to IRCC must be very busy these days.
One question for my just knowledge.
Is it possible to go for citizenship process without renewing PR Card.

Please advice.

Of course it is possible. But you need to make sure you have enough days in Canada to go for that process - at least 3 years in the past 5 years of physical presence.

Thanks for your response.
In continuation the above if I want to go for directly citizenship but my Indian passport expiring within 2 years.
Here two scenario
1 Will my passport renew in Canada without PR Card
OR
2 Can I go for Citizenship application process with my expired Indian Passport.

Your response will be appreciated.
Thanks

hi @Melicuba,

I am in same boat as you. I applied for PR card renewal on Sept 15th 2022 through a representative, I have not received any update till now. When I try to check online it says application not found something like that, I sent a webform - no reply either.
My representative said they process according to expiry date - my pr card expires may 24th 2023, so I’m hoping we hear back soon. When is your PR card expiring?
I also read people are getting their pr cards just mailed without any updates

Hey, my card expired in Nov 2021 but since it was pandemic and i was not travelling I didn’t even bother to renew it. So I don’t think they are going by the expiry dates. Im not sure what to do.

Sorry to hear about that, I’m really worried too as I need to leave Canada for a long period of time and don’t know what to do

Leaving is not a problem. Wherever you are going just apply online for a PRTD so you are able to come back. I did that in December 2022. I went away and applied for a PrTd to be able to come back. They gave me the travel document with multiple entries but only until December 2023.

Did you meet RO when you applied and how close were you to 730 days? Do you do extensive travelling?
