What if I need to travel, could I just use my US passport?

What would the processing time be for a PRTD?

The processing times are now 103 days?

I mean my anxiety has shot up exponentially!

Just got AOR emails a little over 4 months after submission, no eCAS access yet (relatives). By the looks of it, estimating to receive the cards mid-August at the earliest.
Permanent Resident Card

  1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on March 26, 2021.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on July 28, 2021.
  3. We started processing your application on July 28, 2021.
3 applications were sent in the same envelope.
Now have eCAS access and decision made for 2/3, still in process for the 3rd...hopefully should catch up in a few days.

My PR application (first card) was received on March 29th at Etobicoke IRCC. No Aor, no update since then. I submitted couple of webforms to which I got a generic reply. I am so disappointed. By July 29th it will be 4 months (=120 days). Not sure what IRCC is doing or whether they are doing anything or not.
Mine was received on March 23th. I did not receive anything yet. Like you, still waiting.

Ya I am so disappointed with all this wait. Now it even says 67days as processing time, which clearly is not the case. As of today 4months are completed since they received my application. This is ridiculous.

125 days?! This means in their next update the renewal time will go up from 103 days to God knows what. This is just ridiculous. IRCC should get their house in order. This is unacceptable. I applied in mid July, and was hoping to travel in November. Now this delay will be a huge obstacle in the way.
