Hello,
I apologies because I am sure the answer to my following question is likely on the forum, but I couldn't find it.

I apply for PR in April and I was wondering how long it should/take to get the PR status and how long for the PR card?

Has anyone of you a rough idea of the current processing time?

Many thanks

You can check the processing time here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp

It's currently 40 days.

thanks Istari. I have read that info but 40 days, assuming it refers to working days, it's about 8 weeks. In my case it has been 16 weeks.

I was wondering if someone who applied in April has received any updates...

If you mean you sent your PR application in April, then the processing time is 6 months on average. Check the times for Permanent Residence > Economic Class.

40 days for the PR card is counted from the day of your landing and signing of COPR.

Here is the forum thread of people waiting for their PR cards after their landing:
