What is the reason you have provided for the urgency while applying ? Mine is not family emergency or any other category listed in their dropdown list, except that I booked my flights for 16-DEC-2025. You response will be helpful for me to resubmit my regular application with urgency.
I need to accompany my mom going back to our home country. She's a senior citizen and needs assistance. When did you apply?
 
I applied on 7-OCT-2025 and my PR card expiring on 31-OCT-2025 but my travel date is 16-DEC-2025 with my kids. For both my spouse and myself PR Card expiring as my kids are Canadian citizens they are okay I submitted the online form to request urgent processing but not positive response from IRCC. . Not sure what to do.
 
Did they reject your request for urgency? Did they email you?
Its very generic reply from Agent. Basically they are asking to submit PRTD or urgency application. Here is the response.
