Does it have something like this?



Once the card is produced, it will either be:

  • Mailed directly to you, or
  • Be randomly selected for in-person pick up.
    • this random selection for in-person pick up allows IRCC to gather information for improving the processing of PR Card applications. If your card is selected for pick up, you will be informed of the date, time and location of the pick-up and the documents you should bring with you.

Even though we got the email that application is received, we still cant check the status of the application, no tracking available still.

Does anyone has knowledge how long do CIC really take to process/make a decision about an application.

It varies. Some people were put under secondary review, got their cards a year or more. My wife got it in 3 months.

As per e-CAS system, here is the timeline as shown


1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on January 2, 2018.

2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on March 22, 2018.

3. We started processing your application on March 22, 2018.

And it also shows the status as DECISION MADE.


Is it good to assume that our PR card renewal application has been approved.


Will this status further update and will we know if we are getting the card in mail or will we have to go pick it up at local CIC office.


Please provide your thoughts

Hi,
Where do you go to check the status of your application? What is e-CAS? Do you need to have a file number or something similar to check your status?

I sent my PR renewal application by courier and it arrived on Jan. 29, 2018. I haven’t received any acknowledgment. I keep checking the website and it says processing time 79 days, working on applications from Jan. 2. The processing times are supposed to be updated weekly but they haven’t been updated since March 18. This worries me. I’m traveling soon and would really like to have my card to avoid having to apply for a PR Travel Document.

Any insight into processing times is appreciated! Thanks!
