Hello Everyone,
Does anyone have an idea how long it takes before a PR card renewal application completes a secondary review? I have sent my PR card for renewal on August 18, 2016, and and it is almost 6 months since I was informed that my application has now been sent for secondary review. I recently needed to travel abroad but without a valid PR card. So I had to take a painstakingly long route through the United States on my visa exempt passport. I do not understand why CIC would take this long to verify that you have met residency obligation. We do agree that the laws of Canada must be respected. I believe that if any Permanent Resident violates residency requirement, then the PR status must be revoked because this has been clearly spell out on CIC website that you must have 730 day physical presence in Canada in the past 5 years. At the same time permanent residents must not suffer too long just just to verify that they met the residency requirement. I wonder if the immigration minister is aware of this flaw in the system. How long do I have to wait for before I get my new PR card?
