Yeah, I am one of those people who always got a response within 3-5 days in the last 40 days. What is more, I sent a couple of web forms back and forth. My queries were not regarding processing times though but specific issues I was having.

As for pr cards - zero updates here. Nada. Furthermore, no one who I know and who landed in mid March has had any movement in their applications.

However, someone got a reply from ircc. These people landed in mid March, too. The ircc replied that due to covid-19 processing of pr cards hadn’t even started yet. Imagine that!

My guesstimate is that, March arrivals will start getting the PR cards only in June or July. The lockdown is still in place and might even be extended to the end of May.

Peeps, I had raised webform on 19th Apr and received a template response today. No substantial information so guessing my PR card application is not even in progress. Hoping for some activity by mid May.

So update from me. Got a webform back saying the mailed it.......to my old address.... That I not only changed by webform but gave the new one to the agent when I landed. The inefficiency of these guys doesn't cease to amaze me.

Now I'm trying to track down the envelope.

Looking at your timeline, March people should expect PR card in about 2.5 months I guess

Yeah, that’s rather unfortunate but understandable.

A new development, someone called the ircc yesterday. Their pr cards haven’t been issued yet, and current processing times are unknown. The ircc told them to call back if they do not receive pr cards in the next 30 days. This someone landed in mid March.

The photo reached Sydney, Nova Scotia on March 4th. Since then there was no update from their side. on April 10 the I raised the web form asking if they actually receive my photo and about the progress. I had attached my Xpressspost tracking receipt and photo resubmission request letter along with the web form. I got the following response from them on April 17th :

I got told it had been approved through the account. Didn’t know it was sent to the wrong address until I got a reply to my web form today.
I spoke to the new person in my old address and they assured me they haven’t received anything addressed to me so now I’m trying to get a tracking number to see exactly where this is
