Hi all,

I just received my new PR Card, so from mailing application to me receiving my PR Card at home took just over two weeks.

My question is: why is there no signature on mine? Did something change in the system? My old PR Card from 2009 (which I'll destroy right now) has my full signature, while the new one doesn't have anything.

Edited to add:

Answering my own question:

". . . the applicant's signature feature will no longer appear on PR Cards issued as of February 1, 2012." I had no idea. Source: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob383.asp
