Ok so it looks like only when I
send an email to IRCC, an action is taken immediately. See my timeline:
Jan 11, 2022 - 1st and 2nd Portal Email. Submitted everything on the portal the same day
Jan 12, 2022 - DM on ECAS
Jan 19, 2022 -
Sent an email reply to the first portal email for an update on eCoPR
Jan 20, 2022 - eCoPR (I also linked PR Card application on GCKey the same day)
Jan 21, 2022 - GCKey GU for PR Card application
Mar 3, 2022 -
Sent an email to
IRCC.ClientPortalPrairies-PrairiesClientPortail.IRCC@cic.gc.ca to follow up on PR Card application status
Mar 4, 2022 - IRCC responded "Your card has been sent to card production. Once the card is completed, it will be mailed to you."
Mar 8, 2022 - GCKey PR Card application approved - "We mailed your permanent resident card to you. Your card can take up to six weeks to arrive."
Mar 11, 2022 - PR card received in the mail
They literally sent my card to production the day after I sent the email, had I not done that, I don't know how much longer I would have to wait. Well, that's it for my PR journey. See y'all in the Citizenship thread in 2 years!
