PR Card Renewal - 2015 - Timeline

[JJS]

Hey Everybody

Wanted to check and see of there are other people waiting for their PR card renewal . I sent mine on June 17th . ECAS shows nothing even though it's been delivered . The only scary part is that the processing time for PR renewals is going up with every update they add . It was around 65 days at one point couple of months ago and now stands at 96 days . Any other people in the same boat ?

Let's share and stay connected .

Thanks

You'll get a status update only when they start to process the application. In the ECAS report, it will state when they received the app and any other information.

Now it is summer time and people are on vacation and so the processing time will go up. There are fewer people to process the applications now.

My PR card was due to expire on May 15, 2015, so I mailed out my PR application on March 26, 2015. I believed my total travel time in the five years was 72 days. I'm a US citizen, so visa-exempt, and have been employed almost the entire time since my landing on March 13, 2010. I currently do not have a Canadian Citizen application in the works (to answer HighFive's question).

Hey CanadaGirl35

Seems like the CIC gods were pretty happy with your application .. lol . Jokes apart but as stated by boltz , your application was straightforward . My file on the other hand is a little tricky . I completed my 730 days after the expiry of my PR card . Which I am guessing is a reason behind Secondary review applications .

Not sure if somebody has received their renewal without a secondary review despite applying for renewal with an expired PR card . I know there's nothing unlawful in doing that but just a suspicion element for immigration officers I guess .

Now it is summer time and people are on vacation and so the processing time will go up. There are fewer people to process the applications now.

I have heard this from multiple people now . The processing time again went up to 101 days . Not sure when these vacations are going to end .

For what it worth, here is my timeline:

Application for PR card renewal sent April 10th, 2015.
That's it...No emails, nothing when I check online as well...

According to their timeline website they have now opened applications that have been received before April 15th...mine should be there I guess - but nothing is updated online as far as I can see.

This sounds awful . Have you tried calling CIC to check as to why there are no updates at all ? Although I read somewhere that calling repeatedly can delay processing further as they start considering file as a suspicious one . I had some travel plans but donot want to finalise anything , unless I have my PR card with me.

Keep us posted
Thanks

Yikes, my card was approved on June 18th (received on April 13th), so it wont get mailed out for a month?

Venky321,
When were you able to see your application status online? Have you had any information there before June 18th?
I wonder at what stage the status appears online...
Thanks.

Only recently, a few days ago. I had to use my receipt number, wouldn't pick up my old PR card number to check status.
