Can you please tell me, did they ask for photo intake of the whole family.Like we are four family members, If my wife calls them, did they tell the current processing status of whole family or just my wife.and what information they need to check the status.Please reply.

Dear Seniors..
Can you please inform how do they calculate the 52 days in the case of new immigrant.From the date of landing or when the application is sent by the immigration/landing officer to Nova Scotia. Secondly i have checked that Canada Post Standard Delivery time through standard/regular mail is 8-10 days depending upon the destination.For example in Vancouver case, Standard delivery time through regular mail is 10 days.

The processing estimate is the average time it takes to process 80% of the cases historically. So it really is a loose estimate, and doesn't factor in abnormal delays like the system upgrade the agent I spoke to mentioned.

You'll probably find that the number will continue increasing slowly each week as people who are caught in the delay start factoring into their calculations. Since it's historic only, the estimate will peak once they start clearing the backlog and people will be processed in less time eventually (and the number will start coming back down).

There's no really good way of predicting the future, but I would have thought that a one off delayed event could be included outside of their normal calculation. Apparently not though.

Landed October 28th and still waiting...

Going on Vacation on December 12th and I would like my PR CARD BEFORE THEN!!!

I'm Visa exempt so I don't need it to re-enter Canada but would make my life easier.

I would say that you have nearly zero chance of receiving your card before December 12th. Definitely make the necessary plans to travel without it.

Hi guys! I have a question regarding the travel visa for new immigrants that don't have thier cards yet. I need to go out of the country for my vacation, I guess I'm not getting my card before my flight so I am thinking of applying for a travel document. Anyone knows how long it will take to process if I apply thru mail? Help please....thank you in advance!

Can you guys who are getting an email from CIC saying that their PR card application has been received please keep checking ECAS and let us know if you can see the status on there? Maybe they're actually getting around to putting the applications onto that site rather than keeping us in the dark.

When we got the AOR email way back earlier in the year, it took about a week for ECAS to activate. Might be the case with this one too. Then again, it might mean absolutely nothing.

For me it took 3 days including weekends to see my ecas after AOR

Dear Quink, since u are also a pnp, I would like to ask u if I decide to settle in other province different from d province that has nominated me, would that be a problem for me?

I already have changed my Canadian address from the nominated province to another province online for PR card delivery.

My understanding is that once you have landed and had your CoPR signed and activated, as long as it has nothing written in the conditions section you can do whatever you want.

From this page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/about-pr.asp

As a permanent resident, you have the right to:
- get most social benefits that Canadian citizens receive, including health care coverage,
- live, work or study anywhere in Canada,
- apply for Canadian citizenship,
- protection under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

You've landed and are a permanent resident, so you can live wherever you want now. Your PR card is just a travel document - you have permanent resident status even without this. I don't see any problem with what you've done.
