Hello All,

Maybe someone here can share his/her experience. I submitted my PR card renewal application in August 2014, CIC started the process in January 14, 2015 and sent a letter the day after (January 15) saying that my application was accepted and now it is under second review and there would be a delay. Since I already purchased a flight ticket to go back to my country in April, I sent an urgent processing request and got accepted. The email said that they already notified CPC in Sidney to accelerate the process. Just for the record, I meet the residency requirements.

I've been waiting for an answer since January, and no news from CIC so far. I called CIC call centre last Monday March 16, 2015 asking for an update but the agent only told me that a decision has not been made yet. His advice was to call next week to see if there is a change in my process.

Does anyone know how long does this process take when the application is under second review?

Thank you for your help.

Hi. Check this link Otorontoeano, it has full details canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/email-from-cic-that-pr-card-renewal-needs-secondary-review-t251571.0.html .

Long story short: it seems your file has been sent for secondary review, that means it is out of the "urgent" processing scenario. Only solution is to wait unfortunately as it is a case-by-case basis.
