Does anyone know what waiting for image might mean?
We traveled with our expired PR cards because no choice and we have now been waiting like 10 months. Th border officer we talked to at the Vancouver airport said he could see somethings but many times didn’t know the meaning of the notes. He said that he could see the note on mine and my kids waiting for image. Not sure what it means since we submitted photos and find it hard to believe they rejected all of them. Never had an issue before. Also they haven’t contacted me requesting new photos. Last request I received from them was a copy of my provincial id last November.
just don’t know what to do at this point.

I'm in the same situation as you. I landed in Jan 2022 at YVR airport. Also linked the PR Card application and it shows "March 8, 2022 Your application was approved. "

Received nothing so far. I don't even know if they mail out the card or not. No information on ECAS.

Just got the reply of web form says "the application is still in process." as well.

I'll try to call IRCC and maybe submit for a Solemn Declaration.
I landed on 31st Jan 2022 at YVR airport. No updates in GCKey till now...
Any one with similar timeline?
as i understand due to the first time, i cant check the status in eCAS.

Hang in there bro ! Even I didn't get the card. Online system says was mailed on March 3rd and I am in Toronto. Called and they said was mailed on the same day. I have raised a request with Canada Post for inquiry and let us wait till next week. I have a feeling someone just pressed the button to change the workflow and didn't physically mail the card :)
How to raise request with Canada post ?

Wondering whether folks have any thoughts on my status. Should I just call the CIC? Here's my status and timelines,

PR CARD APPLICATION STATUS: Decision Made

2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on December 6, 2021.
3. We started processing your application on December 6, 2021.


Email for #2 received on 6th Dec. No further progress or communication though status has said Decision Made since 6th Dec too. I also submitted a request for notes through Access to Information Act on Feb 15th. No progress on that either.
Got the PR card (renewal case) today, 6 May. Here's what the online status says. Good luck everyone!

PR CARD APPLICATION STATUS: Complete
1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on September 23, 2021.

I got AOR on the next day of delivery, but my case slightly different :

Original application sent on June 25th, returned back on Oct15th due to primary identification document (PID), copy of expired passport was attached, they did not accept it as PID,
-Resent on Oct 16th with copy of renewed passport and requested to process on priority basis as I am flying on Jan 23rd, did not want to wait another 4 month for AOR, as per Canada post tracking, delivered on Oct 21st,
-AOR Oct 22.
Finally, I got my PR card today in mail. Overall 10.5 months. Original application was sent in June 2021, it was returned back due to PID in Oct 2021. It resent in Oct 2021, AOR received on the same day when it arrived there (OCT 2021). After AOR it went on sleeping mode. I have to travel in Jan 2022, I traveled and applied for PRTD to return back to Canada. Apr 29th status changed from "in process" to "Decision Made". Card mailed out May 2nd, received May 9th, I live in Calgary, AB.
I wish good luck to every one who is waiting for their PR card

Does anyone know where to check the status of the PR card? I arrived as a new immigrant on March 26 and am waiting for my first PR card. But I am not sure of the status of the application and I don't see it on my ircc account. There is an option to link my application to the account but it asks for the date I became a PR and I am not sure what date to put in there.
