prolonged PR renewal process: help needed

[Tony Yang]

My PR renewl application was submitted in June 2015 and received second review notification in Nov. Now almost 1.5 years passed without any progress. Can anyone shed some insights here? Thanks a lot!

Was there anything unusual about your application? Did you apply with sufficient residency days in Canada?

 

[Tony Yang]

I don't think there is any unusual in my application and my staying time is sufficient.

I'm no expert, but I have been reading about PRTDs in this forum a lot. Usually the ones that take a while are either a. Those filing under H&C or b. Those filing from a country that doesn't have its own visa office. For some reason, those filing from the Middle East are taking an unusually long time. I filed in the Philippines, there's a visa office here, I even filed under H&C but it just took a little over two weeks to process. Maybe you can try contacting the visa office you filed it to?

Tony, u r not the only one, that are several hundreds if not thousands who are having this issue. We are planning a petition to the minister and you can see it here http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/secondary-review-petition-t399342.150.html

Just send a personal message to AJK and he will include your name in the petition to be sent out.

my time is as follows :

Send application on sept 2

1. received application PR card on September 21, 2015.
2. acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on February 5, 2016.
3. started processing application on February 5, 2016.
4. went to secondary review on February 10, 2016. They did not ask me for any extra doc.

PS: According to my calculations I have well over 730 days in Canada pass that date with an extra 90 days just in case.

Also when I called they just told me to wait I cant wait any longer I want to have an answer I would like to see my family for xmas and able to go to the cemetery and see my brother.

This is costing me my job and my health...

Your fastest option is going to the media. Everything else will be super slow. Just use - http://www.cbc.ca/news/gopublic

You will probably need to give the media your story. The chances of them doing something for your particular case or whoever goes public is extremely high as they hate to be embarrassed. Your other option is litigation. A letter from a lawyer threatening legal action will at least get your case moving but its expensive and they know that though there is no surety of success.

You can cancel your application and submit an urgent application immediately. Normally, you will get more attention and they will proceed quicker.

mailing address change during PR renewal process: help needed

The following is the timeline for my PR renewing status

Permanent Resident Card
We received your application for a permanent resident card on July 18, 2016.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on August 22, 2016.
We started processing your application on August 23, 2016.

I submited my PR Renewal application while I lived in VC. Since then I moved to Toronto and have lived with my son. My concern is that If I change my mailing address from VC to Toronto, would this affect my PR renewing process time and status? Appreciate any suggestion and advice.

Thanks
