Hello my friends,

I submitted my paper renewal application around March 20th and so updates so far. I have one question asking for your valuable advice:

My current card expires on end of the November. I plan to leave Canada around July 20th and return in one month, i.e., around August 20th. My question is: can I travel outside of Canada while waiting for my new PR card? My old card has not expired yet.

In normal situations, I should have received my card around July 20th for sure, because I submitted application around March 20th. That would be 4 months of processing time. However, with the strike, I am not 100% certain.

Please share your valuable experience and opinions. Thank you very much!

Does anyone know on the PR Renewal Online portal if status changes from "Submitted" to something else. What happens next?. What status shows next before you receive the card?.

It never changed when I applied for my wife’s PR card. Even after receiving the card the status is still “submitted”

My renewed PR card was mailed yesterday. Here's my timeline:

March 6: submitted the application online
May 4: "incomplete application" appeared under the return reason section with no email notification to request anything. Also able to link my application with GC key and got the AOR.
May 8: my pr card was mailed. I saw this updates in GC key. my pr portal says still "incomplete application" so I'm sure it's a glitch like what @jeff198901 said.

Hello I submitted via paper March 20th as well. Have you received any AOR or communication regarding your renewal?

Thank you in advance.

That's nice to hear!! I submitted mine on the 6th Mar late night as well for renewal. So far no updates yet and I am not able to link my application on GC Key either. Were you able to link yours and did you receive any emails with application number or any sort of communication while your application was being processed?

Mine is expiring on the Jun 5th and I have a travel scheduled on 9th Jun, quite nervous of the timeline overall.

Need advise from seniors for one of my relative's case...She became canadian PR in July 2018 and stayed in Canada for 10 months & went to home country in May 2019 and came back to Canada last week...There was no issue while coming back even though her PR card is expiring in Sept 2023.
During last 4 years , she could not come back to Canada due to pregnancy, covid and young baby's visitor visa got rejected etc.
What is the best way to get her PR renewed ?
option-1, apply for renewal in Aug or Sept 2023, if anyone has worked this option
option-2, wait for 2 years and then apply for renewal, which lawyer recommends, Can she get a job with expired PR cards ?

According to https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=727&top=4, her PR might not be valid during renewal. It would be best to work with a knowledgeable immigration lawyer as this is a complicated case.
