Guys - just a warning.

I landed on 17th November 2017. Was expecting my PR card around January 16-17.

I heard nothing so I have been trying to find out more by submitting CSE (outside Canada so can't call).

The eventualy replied (3rd attempt at contacting via CSE) and it turns out THEY DID NOT HAVE AN ADDRESS ON FILE FOR ME.

This despite the fact I GAVE THEM A CANADIAN ADDRESS when I landed at Toronto Pearson, the guy even read it back to me to confirm it.

They told me to submit ANOTHER CSE with the address. Which I have just done. God knows how long this will add to my wait!

So, if anyone is more than a week past the expected arrival date for their PR card my advice is to call or email them ASAP. If I did not ask they were not going to request it from me - this could have dragged on more months.

Honestly from applying for EE right through to actually getting the PR card has been an absolutely terrible experience with so many complications that could be avoided.

Thankfully I have got the PR and I am glad of it but man - what an ordeal!

Good luck to all!

Make sure they have the correct address in your PR card application. You can only find out this by talking to someone in the calling center. Note that the address on file might be different than the address in the PR CARD application. For me, they had an address on file but not in the application so they could not process it.
Thanks for this sir - it turns out my case was EXACTLY the same as yours - I gave them my Canadian address at landing but they didnt put it on my file - what a total mess!

I see you had your card approved very quickly after updating your address - when do you expect to receive it?

I landed on December 20 at at Ogdensburg/Prescott border and my Review of additional documents is changed to "The additional documents you provided have been uploaded" before 12-15 days ago but since then there is no chang on my account.
Hopefully my application will approve in couple of days.

Guys - my status so far

Landing Date: Nov/22/2017
Photo Request: Jan/10/2018
Photos Sent: Jan/12/2018
Photos Received : Jan/15/2018
Application Status: In progress

My application status for additional docs is still "in review" while for my wife is "have been uploaded"

Why is there a gap? Should I call up CIC and check once?

What's the percentage of people who get a new photos request email? It seems like the vast majority of people posting in this thread got that request, but only one of my friends got it (as far as I know). I'm just trying to figure out how often it happens, I wanted to visit home as soon as possible.

My resend photos were received on Jan 2nd and still my status is In review. I am out of country. Many people from 2nd and 15th are getting approve. Should i be worried?
