    PR card Processing time for new immigrants

    Talked to a CIC Officer and apparently the PR card processing time is 66 days now. The Officer indicated that, this means the CIC people will look the application after 66 days and will start processing the case. It may take 4-6 weeks after that for the PR cards to arrive.
