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.
Link using following steps - https://askkubeir.com/pr-card-application/. Date you became PR is date when you first landed OR was issued eCOPR

Its been almost 5 months since we are waiting on our PR cards. I received ECoPR on 11th Dec 2021 but I and my wife both did not receive our PR cards. Every time I try to contact them their customer service is busy to put me in line due to high call volume or their customer support is close. Is there any email address anyone can suggest or any other way we should proceed?

Hello,
I have a question related to first PR card submitted April 14. In GC keys, I have your card was mailed in May 2, 2022. However, In eCAS, I can't find it. meaning they didn't start the processing yet !!!
Which one is more correct ?

if this is your first PR, then it wouldn’t show up on ECAS, from what I understand. Only in GC Key.
By the way, Just to confirm, it’s your very first card ? When did you land ? If so, that’s pretty fast processing.

Congrats !

Oh I see. Yeah, it seems inland applicants are getting their cards much sooner than those of us that physically landed in Canada. I wonder what is determining the processing time ?

what is the typical timeline for IRCC to print and send a PR card once they receive new photos ( they sent me a letter asking to resubmit photos as the one they have aren't compliant ) ?

They did the same to me on April 6th. I resent my new photo on the same day and submitted the PR portal https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login. It is saying it's in the review no updates still showing under review on the portal. Then a month passed by I got an email from IRCC that I need to submit my photo by replying to this email within 30 days or else my PR card application will get canceled. I replied on the same day with a photo clicked by a professional. No response yet. This process is pathetic. No confirmation, update, or acknowledgment whatsoever. the only threat of my PR card application will get canceled if won't get sent. waiting for the last 5 months now.
