I meant to write here earlier but I didn't but here it is.

So I also got my card now, thankfully. On page 94 of this topic I wrote that my wife's PR card arrived within a month of landing. Mine was delayed somehow it seemed. November 3rd my wife called under my name, I was unable to call at that time, but after some connection issues, she got through and the person on the other hand was very helpful. It turned out that the address was pending. It's a very strange as my wife's card was send to the address that was filled in but somehow still pending.
The address was confirmed and 1 weeks later my card also arrived. It almost seemed as if the card was already processed and ready to be shipped out, but the expiry date is 2 days after the call was made and the address confirmed.

So I am very happy this waiting is finally over....for now

The message of this post is to call the ministry of foreign affairs and follow the menus to immigration. The people are helpful, but be sure that the stated processing time on the IRCC website is expired.

I got my PR card yesterday by regular post.

I landed on Oct 15th at Peace Arch, BC.

I also got following email yesterday:

Hello,

Our records show that you may be a permanent resident (PR) of Canada. This email is a reminder that you must present your valid Permanent Resident Card (PR Card) or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) when boarding a flight to Canada.

Canadian permanent residents who do not present a valid PR card or PRTD may be denied boarding their flight to Canada for not having the appropriate travel documents.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your PR card is still valid when you return from travel outside of Canada. The expiry date is printed on the card. If your PR card is expired or will expire within six months, you should apply now to renew your card.

If you are in Canada and do not currently have a permanent resident card or your card is expired, find out how to apply for a permanent resident card.
If you are outside of Canada and do not have a PR card or your card is expired, find out how to apply for a permanent resident travel document (PRTD).

Plan ahead and check the processing times to receive a valid PR card or PRTD before your next international trip.

Please note that if you believe you no longer meet Canada’s permanent residency requirements, your permanent resident status must be resolved before you can apply for a visitor visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). For example, if you choose to give up (renounce) your permanent resident status, you can then apply for an eTA or a visa. Learn more about your residency requirements and your options as a permanent resident of Canada.

We encourage you to share this information with your family and friends as we want to avoid Canadian permanent residents experiencing travel delays because they don’t have the appropriate travel document to board a flight to Canada.

Thank you,

[bellaluna]

Does everybody get this email before getting PR card?

I got it as well, but I thought it was triggered because I had used my PR card at a CBSA automated border clearance kiosk a few hours prior.

Just to check lets confirm it from CIC, if they let us known the status of the card...but i doubt any good news

 

[Jongwe123]

Hi guys,

Congrats to me kkkkkkk....got my PR card TODAY, 29 November 2016.

Here is my short story:

Landed-----14 October 2016
PR Card sent out from Sydney, NS.......21 November 2016
PR Card Received in Regina, Saskatchewan........29 November 2016

Exactly 45 Days for it to land in my hands!

All the best to those still waiting.........

And to those yet to land: Please get the right , professional photographers out there....who can take clean, perfect photos to avoid requests of new photos from CIC.....when CIC talks about photo specifications, they are talking about how the photo looks, NOT ITS SIZE. Please take note of this. Mine photos were the 30 X 45 but they were still accepted because they were done correctly by the photographer...no shades, pic on centre of card, no smiling etc.

Love this forum to bits......lets keep it going guys!
