How did you guys link your PR card application to IRCC account? Manually added it using "Link your application" after logging in with your GC Key?
Yes. The only tricky part there is the place of birth. It has be exact and as mentioned in your CoPR (though it may be incomplete in CoPR) and your passport. If this doesnt match then you may not be able to link.

I contacted CIC today. They said the card was dispatched on Mar 26th. Got confirmation from my friend a few hours ago that he has received the mail too.
So, all done!

So the place of birth in my CoPR is actually incomplete. Should I still write it exactly the way it looks on there?

Landing (inland): March 22
Ghost Update: April 2 or 3
Approved and mailed: April 8
Received (at my lawyer's office in Toronto): April 11

The funny thing is that the officer (at IRCC office in London, Ontario) specifically asked me whether to send the card to my address or the lawyer's and I said mine.

Hi do you have to be there in person to receive PR (like sign it or be physically present at that moment) or is it just mail delivered to the provided address?

Also could anyone confirm what are the steps after arrival?
Everything is on arrival (at the airport) and then do you also have to visit a certain office, or just wait for the PR to be delivered at the provided address?

When you land then your PR card application is activated. Your PR card will be mailed to the address provided unless you have to resubmit pictures. Even then once you resubmit pictures then the PR card will be mailed to the address provided.

Hi everyone , congrats to everyone who got their PR card and good luck to the rest
My wife and kid landed on Feb 16 , my kid received his PR card in about a month but my wife still haven't recieved hers yet .. I know some people wait for long times but it seems recently they are being delivered fast so is there any need to worry that one kid arrived before the other ? I just linked my wife's application and there are no messages there .. should I worry ?
