Open the developer console in your browser (e.g. cmd + option + c on MacOS), navigate to network tab, then perform an operation on the PR portal, e.g. log-in. You should see one or multiple objects named "cases". Click on it to see its contents.
PR card renewal through online application
- Thread starter who_killed_the_bird
- Start date
Use Last Name and UCI, enter Place of Birth as CITY,(SPACE)STATE as per passport. There is space after comma.
You mean CITY/STATE and CITY/COUNTRY ? Country wont work, you will have to use CITY and STATE as explained.
To know application number, check PR card mail if it has. Else call IRCC and specifically ask for PR card application number.
You have to overlap the days. Eg:
1/1/2024-3/4/2024 - present address
12/27/2023-1/1/2024 - last address
Including few days extra is of no problem, so you don't have to include exactly 5 year mark if the date is causing a problem. I included all my history since landing (way more than 5 years) and it didn't cut off any part of that input.
Hello members,
I submitted my PR card renewal application through the portal on Feb 20, 2024.
After that, I kept checking the portal daily using inspection mode, and it was showing 'Ready for review' until Mar 5th. I was not able to link my application to GC Key.
Today (Mar 6) in the morning, I received an AOR email from Permanent Resident Card Centre – Sydney acknowledging receipt of my application. In the subject of the email I can see the application #. Then I checked back to the portal using the inspection mode, and noticed that the status had changed to 'Completed'. However, I still couldn't link my application to GC Key.
Seems like not a lot of members would get AOR email after submission, so I just want to share it here in case it can help anyone.
I am waiting for the card in the mail now. Will update again once I get the physical card.

that comment about photo via phone is for scanning a digital copy and not actually taking a photo. You still need to go visit a commercial photographer.
Thanks, I can see cases, but what request type are you reviewing a GET, or a PUT or Options? Also I'm not sure which attribute of the request header shows the status. Sorry, if it's an obvious thing not a web developer lol.
Anyone looking for this answer can review this post https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/prcard-renewal-2023.796386/post-10731424. Btw it doesn't have to be Chrome, it works the same way on Edge browser as well.

UPDATE: Today (Mar 11th) I saw the GC Key shows the PREVIOUS pr card is now marked as "Your document is invalid". I guess the new pr card has been printed hence the old one cancelled by IRCC. Still not able to link new pr card application to the GC Key though.
Will update again once receive the new card in the mail.
