Hello Folks, I really need your suggestions.
I got ECOPR on 19 July and on the new PR portal its showing my mailing address approved but the photo is still in review on there but on my GC key account its still showing submitted with last update of medical approval. Now on August 13 when I called Ircc they said the PR card is production, I haven't received any GU yet, is it possible I can receive pr card in the mail without getting any change on my GC account?

Normally people don't know about if they have been selected for in-person pickup unless people notice it stuck at DM for too long. You can mostly find out that by calling or webform. They don't inform you the pick-up until an appointment is made over email/mail. Since IRCC offices have closed since March 2020, the pickup has been suspended ever since.

What? This is ludicrous. Also applicants are not notified if they were selected for in-person pick-up!! :oops: I am started to worry this might happen to me as I see many people going through this, and I would be stuck in Canada for another year :confused:

Hi. Do you really see this line on you tracker: “Card sent by mail : 5 March to Etobicoke” or you found out about it when you contacted them?
According to this page Etobicoke office is open (unless they opened it and then closed without notice) for people to pick up the cards, but it doesn’t look so…

Hello all,

Did any of May renewal applicants received AOR today? I have applied on May 4th and nothing yet. I saw couple of early May applicants received AOR last week, but would appreciate if you can provide further details.

Thx

Hi, when was your application delivered? If you had applied on May 4th, it must have taken 4-5 days to reach IRCC. You should probably get your AOR this week.

Hi Seniors,
Have a question about the 1st PR Card status. I recently linked to PR Card to my EE Profile. In the "View Submitted Applications" section Details column, it says submitted. When I click on Check Status and Messages to see the details, it says "Your document is valid" under the status column. Expiry date is 5 years from now and "Status Update Date"
Can anyone suggest what this "Your document is valid" status mean? Does it mean the card has been mailed out?

Thanks! Good to know. So in less than a month after DM they send a card either to you or to your office...
Did your old card expire? They might contact you with an appointment close to the expiry date of your old card. I believe it was the case in the pre-COVID era...
