Thanks mate !
I am travelling to India on the first week of December and not sure if I will receive the card before that. In that case I will have to apply PRTD to come back then. Never expected this delay !

PRTD timelines from my country are even more than PPR approval averages in the world :D



Thanks for your kind words. You are right. everyone i talked to advised me to retake photos from home country and dispatch.

I am not able to link application in CIC account so no idea about that. I received email for photo request.

Follow below steps only after you have landed. It gives only 5 attempts in one day.

1) Login to CIC account.
2) Go to section "Link an existing application to this account". Click on "Link application to this account" button.
3) Select category as PR Card
4) Select "Unique Client Identifier (UCI) and Family Name"
5) Fill required details (please make sure capital, small, comma etc.)
6) Provide landing date in "Date you became a permanent resident"
7) Click on search my application.
8) after application searched make sure you submit application else not linked.

However, for some people linking becomes impossible. This is primarily because people put their birth city not as per what is written in your passport. Birth city has to match exactly as in Passport including punctuation marks if any.

Once you have successfully linked your application it will shown you as "Submited" status and once it is ready for dispatch it will go into "Approved" status.

If you receive any photo request then it will not change any status. Regularly check PR card processing time on CIC website as photo request or PR card approval both come in last 5-10 days (i.e if processing time is 63 days then after 55 days you will be able to see some movement.)Hope it will work.

Whatever I enter in details - place of birth with comma , without comma, with space, without state, with state initials..it is not showing any records to me. Even with family name, given name and DOB route it is not showing any records. Have tried a lot since I landed but no luck. Strangely, it is not finding any records for my son and my husband as well.Neither I could connect to any cic agent. I have tried on both the numbers.

Can any one please tell me how can I contact cic agent and at what time? I have tried at morning and noon time but no luck every time the volume of calls is so high that they never connect to an agent. People here who have talked to an agent please help me out.

I called CIC at around 3.10 P.M EST. I was placed in a queue for a mere 15 minutes. But I guess the volume of calls is dynamic and there could be any number of callers at any time. Just keep trying every 30 minutes, I'm sure you be placed in queue.

For place of birth, enter it in a format as follows.
TORONTO, ONTARIO

Replace these with your city of birth followed by state/province

Finally talked to cic today. The agent said my pr card has gone for production. But for my husband and son it's still in progress. Do they process dependents pr card later?
