What does it say on your GCKey?

It does say approved and mailed on Oct 18. But it cant be possible that 2 PR Cards, in 2 different envelopes get lost.

 

[tamiidj94]

The agent on call told me my card has been "approved" and sent for printing as of today. My GCKey says "reviewing your application" and "reviewing eligibility"
Idk what to believe lol

Hmm maybe different situations then, I just don't understand where my cards have gone and I don't know why I got another pre arrival letter...

Hi everyone,
Did you have any update?
I will send the solemn declaration next week. Please keep me posted
My PR card has never arrived to my mailing address after more than 6 weeks (even though I had no problem receiving Health Card from the provincial gov't).

I have signed the solemn declaration of the never-received card and faxed it to the processing centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia but have not heard back from them for almost 2 weeks now.

Any of you used to be in the same situation and what are the processes?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, quick update on my family's PR cards:
Landed at Toronto Pearson 17th Oct
Ghost update 8th Nov
PR cards approved & mailed 12th Nov
PR cards received 15th Nov
Took 29 days in total from landing date. Unfortunately we have already left Canada so will be looking at getting it sent via courier.
Cheers!

Hi , what are the options if we can't stay more than a month in Canada after the first landing?

Hello, I need someone's urgent assistance in regards to this matter. I just recently lost my PR, looked for it everywhere and could not locate it. I applied for a new one, but guess what? I forgot to include the proof of payment with the package , my assumption is that they will most likely send back the application and if i do send it back then it will probably take at least a month to process it. I'm supposed to leave the country by December 11th to see my mom who has been sick for quite sometime now. My question is, can I leave the country without a PR? and when I reach my destination apply for a PR travel document?

I had the same issue. you will get the new SIN mailed to you in about a month, nothing to worry about.

You can of course leave the country - the PR card is only for when you want to return to Canada on commercial transport (plane, ship, bus). You should be able to apply for PR travel documents anywhere outside Canada - but processing time can vary a lot and could be quite long. I would suggest that you do two things 1) Check for all the documents/info you need to apply for the PRTD and 2) Contact the relevant visa office and check how long the processing will take.

All the best.

1) Have the PR cards mailed to an address of someone you trust, have then courier it to your location (Note: Believe IRCC discourages this)
Or
2) Apply for a PR travel document from outside Canada when you wish to to come back. The time taken for this seems quite variable, so might be worthwhile to check with your local visa office of you go down this route.

Also, a month might be just short to get the PR card, based on recent observations and seeing that processing times appear to lengthening.

All the best.

Thanks Amol,

I am currently in UK and not able to connect to the IRCC number 1-888-242-2100 from here even using the sonetel canadian number.

Is there any option to call from outside Canada ?
I contacted them with the web form.

Haven't tried it myself, but perhaps this will work:
