Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

[lilzz]

Just out of curiosity.... Today I verified with CIC. I questioned the agent in regards of having home address set to a Canadian Address and Mailing Address set to my home country, her reply was that it was irrelevant as what only matters is to have a Canadian address on file.... Then she goes "when did you land again", I replied Jun28th, and she goes "oh the inmigration officer, seems not to have completed the process correctly", she had all my data, even on which flight I landed but the info had not been sent to the "PR processing center"... And then I made the obvious question: "So this means I have lost around 35 days worth of processing time?" And the unwanted answer, "Yes". I explained to her that I have a trip to new york (end of October) and if some urgent processing was possible due to the fact that it was their mistake, her answer "I know, but we do not do urgent processing on first time cards", she tried to pitch for me to request a travel document, I explained to her that I was planning to spend two days abroad, so I dont think New york office will process the document in such short time (everything is usually wait and more wait when it comes to Canada).

BOTTOMLINE: To whoever is landing, make a call to CIC one week after landing and make sure everything is in order, they seem not to have their act together more often than not.

Your story scared me a bit - so I called CIC today, 10 days after landing. I waited 20 min, and they couldn't tell me anything. 'We cannot access your file because you are still within the processing time - you have to wait 87 days". Jesus it's impossible to deal with these people. Anyway, I hope all is correct in my file and that I will receive the PR card on time, because I am going on a trip in 90 days so the timing is tight!

Also she told me that the processing time is not 87 days... It's 87 days + 10 business days. She sent me an email to reconfirm:

You may refer to the processing times on our website to see how long it may take. Please note that you must add ten (10) business days to the delay indicated.

Has anyone ordered GCMS report after landing to see what the card status is?

Hello Friends,
I landed on May 18th and now moved to a new address in Canada. If I change the address now will I get in a new address? Thanks in advance.

Guys ...

I think that now the cards are being shipped to those who landed in first week of May ... If anyone has received the card, please update ...

I was told by a CIC agent that the card has been shipped to the Calgary address on Wednesday last week, still didn't get anything yet ...

Is there anyone who got confirmation of card being shipped and have not received it ...

Is it shipped from Nova Scotia or what?


Regards,
KD

Hi,

I landed on May-01. My ecas address shows my india address not Canada address. When i called CIC yesterday, they confirmed that my mailing address is Canadian address in their system and the PR card is still in process and will be delivered in 2 to 3 weeks due to huge backlogs. I hope this helps

Dear,

I have also landed on May 26 and my address of canada is also updated under current home address and mailing address is still my old address. Our case is exactly having the same timeline.

So keep in touch for any updates.

Hi,

You can update the mailing and home address in the eCAS system. This will take 13 days to update in the system as per CIC. Currently CIC may processing April end or First week of May applicants. Hence you have time. My recommendation is to update in the system rather than taking a bet on CIC.

Thanks

Guys, anyone from May got their PR cards? Please advise

That is quite strange. We landed one day apart. They told you that it's under process and told me that it has been shipped on last Wednesday.

Looks like under process includes shipping or arranging to ship.

It's one week now, but the card not received yet...

Again the same question from me, from where do they ship cards? Is it centrally from Nova Scotia or it is from CIC centers in all provinces?

That may explain the delay.

Friends,

I just called CIC an hour ago from OUTSIDE of Canada (dialed 1 613 944 4000 pressed 1-1-1-2-3-2-0) then I was able to speak with an agent telling me that my PR cards were sent out yesterday (he asked me for Landed date (4th May), UCI#, Full name, DOB, and Canadian address as a proof).

On my ECAS, my home address is Canadian address while my mailing address is still my home country address. However, I have been confirmed that my cards were sent out to my Canadian address. I hope this helps someone who is concerned on the mailing address appearing in ECAS system which is not Canadian address.
