Hi someone 77 ,

I think you will get an update soon , say about in a week's time. I expirienced something similar the decision was made and after about ten days or so the status changed : application approved , Your card number is ----- and it has been mailed to you.
Having said that in your case there is unusual delay. In my case ( normal , non urgent case ) it took less than three weeks. three weeks after I mailed the application to them . For my wife we mailed the application in the same package , same dates , nearly identical case her case took about 4 weeks.

Again in all probability your status will change very soon : application approved and -----. Wish you the best.

Hi Aviator or anyone in the same situation,

I sent my PR renewal application along with my family members in one envelope via courier on May 13, 2019, Delivered as per courier May 15, 2019
I am still unable to track any of the application if I am checking my status or via Gc key (If I try linking it says application not found)
Can you please advise how long does it normally take to get the update ' Application Received' ?

Regards !

Hi ACE 2000,

It didn't happen with me. But I remember many people in this forum has mentioned this situation . Eventually they got status updates and a positive outcome.
Best wishes,

My application got delivered nearly a week ago but I've had no email or don't have an application number. So I'm assuming I'll hear soon?

My application was received on the 10th of May. No further update since that point.

Fingers crossed it arrives soon. Like a numpty, I booked a vacation leaving 29th June, thought I had more time on my existing card. Somewhat a delayed honeymoon so I'll be in serious trouble if I can't go. Whoops.

Hi all,

I’m so sorry for not responding. I went away on vacation and wasn’t going online much.

I received my PR card on Tuesday, May 6.

Wishing you all luck in getting your cards! It appears to be pretty quick, even though I had some confusing messages it still arrived in 31 daya from them receiving my application.

For both processing started on 26 th.
My decision was made on May 10 , card received on 14 May.
My wife's decision made on May 17 , card received on May 23rd ( through snail mail after a long weekend ).
Best wishes all.

Note : Actually my application was received on 25thApril , acknowledged on 26 th April and on same date application status on " Check application status " was decision made. But the more detailed information that was available on secure log in -- said the application is in process. Then on May 10 it changed to decision made , application approved card mailed.

Some forum members are in similar situation and puzzled. That's understandable but in all probability the outcome would be positive . If the residency required have been met there could be delay but not a denial.

Best wishes to all who have yet to receive their cards.

I can log in and see that they received it on the 10th, but no email from them. Appears as though some get an email early on and some don't but the processing times end up similar.

hi Guys:

I have submitted my application to renew the PR card on April 30th by canada post.
I still have not received anything from CIC indicating they have received it, if i check the status online, it is still not able to find my application.
Based on the processing time online, which is 27 days, should i worry about it?

Oh my god guys I’m freaking out .

Sent mine off and they received it 15th May. They acknowledged this last week and started processing Friday 24th. Today, it says DECISION MADE. I’m hoping and praying it’s not a rejection as it doesn’t give me anymore information yet

My application was over 730 days but I’m still freaking out

Hi Jenny,

Why are you freaking out? Yours arrived after mine, is well within the current 27 days processing time, and is moving an awful lot quicker than most (mine still only says application received on the 10th).

Sorry to be blunt, but it sounds like you're panicking for no reason whatsoever. If you meet the requirements then what's the problem? I'd even say you're one of the lucky ones that got it processed quickly.
