I submitted my application online today.
Is there anyone who can share the timeline of the process.
Thanks for you sharing.
Honestly...
No.

Has your card already expired?

If not, how long before it does?

Are you aware that you would not need a valid PR Card to return to Canada if returning in a private vehicle (land border)?

I just have several family visit, it's not urgent but important.

Which 2 pieces of evidence did you include showing you have been residing in Canada?

Some people have reported receiving their new PR Card quickly, which may be due to IRCC using some sort of AI to process simple applications.

Eligibility Assessment: AI algorithms can be trained to assess the eligibility of applicants against the criteria of various immigration programs. This can speed up the initial review process, although final decisions are typically made by human officers.

I upload one bank statement and one payslip.
With AI technology, that would be very nice, with high efficiency, thanks for your sharing.

Yes. Some people feel compelled to send an enormous amount of `proof', when the instructions only call for 2 pieces of evidence. One bank statement and one payslip satisfies that request.

I personally believe that IRCC relies [heavily] on the CBSA data, but that's just my opinion.

agree with you.
I think we don't need to show all the records. They need extra proof that you live in Canada and have daily activities.
Do you renew your card also?

I did all the application online through IRCC PR portal, and I did twice, one for myself, one for my kid. It is convenient. Anyone who needs some help or have questions may leave a message here. I will try my best to give you some hint.
