UPDATE to share:

Just received acknowledgement email a while ago that my PR card renewal that I had sent on 23-July-2021 was received.

So looks like for my case:
PR renewal request date: 23 July 2021
AOR (?): 29 Oct 2021

I cant find the status online but I guess it will take a few days for the system to update. Am I right?
Most likely you ll be able see it tomorrow, usually after 24 hours. I got AOR last Friday (Oct 22nd) ecas was updated next day Oct 23rd(Saturday)

How long does it take to get the PR card by mail once they sent it? It states it can take upto 6 weeks. Does it take that much time?

Hi there,

It depends where in Canada you are. Mine was sent on Monday, October 25 and I received it on Wednesday October 27 (I'm in Toronto).

Hi everyone. I have received my ecopr about 96 days ago and I haven’t had any movement in my PR card processing(First card). Anyone in the same boat? Do anyone have suggestions on contacting IRCC?
Here is my timeline:
AOR: April 28th 2021
Biometrics accepted: May 18th 2021
Portal 1st email: July 21st
Credentials email: July 22nd
Ecopr: July 24th
Linked application to cic: August 24th
Ecopr office: Etobicoke
CEC inland applicant
August 22nd is the last time I was able to talk to an agent when dialed to IRCC, since then it’s always an automated reply. Couple of web forms went unattended.
Reason for the desperation is to meet my wife in US, without PR card I couldn’t travel there. I don’t drive either.
On a side note, Is it possible to enter Canada from US without having a PR card and expired eCOPR? My eCOPR is valid till nov 16th 2021.

I submitted mine on July and was received July 16th. I got my AOR yesterday and Decision made was also posted on my ecas. It took 12 hours or so for my application to appear on ecas. Hope to get our cards soon.

I do not think so it ll take so long Canada Post to deliver, normally within Canada regular mail takes 5-10 days, depending on your location. They mention 6 weeks to cover themselves, as people might start getting panic after week or two if they have not their PR card and starting calling IRCC and sending webforms to put an extra pressure

They returned my application because the photo I sent is not right (refer to this trail - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/passport-photo-rejected.596493/#post-9785625).

If they returned my application and send it, do I have to wait for the same number of months as I did the last time?

PR Card Renewal...
Application received: Jun 23 2021
Letter of Rejection/return: September 28, 2021 (as indicated in the letter)
The day the letter reached my mailbox: Oct 29, 2021

You need to update your physical presence because it's been more than 90 days since they received the first application. Attach a letter explaining what happens with the letter they sent you. Is the letter dated?
