I sent in my application for PR card renewal marked urgent last week. it was received on 5/11 and I received email confirmation on 5/16 with Decision Made on 5/17. What are the chances it has been processed and approved in a day vs being kicked back for some reason?
Taking bets on PR Renewal
- Thread starter killborn
- Start date
Decision made should mean they've made a decision (either approved or refused). As long as you meet RO, it should be an approval. There should be no reason for a refusal.
I concur with @scylla
Just curious...what was your reason for requesting Urgent Processing?
Urgent processing of a permanent resident card
To qualify for urgent permanent resident (PR) card processing, you must be travelling within the next three months due to:
- a job opportunity
- your own serious illness
- the death of a family member
- work related to your current job
- the serious illness of a family member
---
I suspect that most choosing `work related to your current job' are simply taking a much needed vacation and `need to get back to Canada for work'.
Gotta love that last part about `no guarantee'...even if you qualify! LOL!
A couple reasons.
1. I didn't realize how long it could potentially take to renew and only caught on that I needed to get my application in just 3 months prior.
2. I travel very frequently for business and need to be on constant standby to travel outside of Canada at short notice. I provided a supporting letter from my company HR explaining this.
Hoping that I didn't screw up the application and it's being returned. I had to add in an extra page for trips outside of Canada. If is has been approved in a day I will be super happy and impressed.
Why cut it close rather than apply early in advance (9 months before the expiry date)?
