Woah that's awesome, super fast, congratulations!
Did you also get an email update? Nothing for me so far :(

Also is your PR card shipped to a US address?How do you plan to get the card itself?

I did not get any email,just randomly checked my profile and saw this update. My PR card is shipped to my relative's address in Canada. I have not planned as of now to get the card in US, probably will apply for PRTD.

If you're in US, you don't need PRTD unless you really want to fly to Canada. You can fly to border town and then you can cross the border with COPR.

Yup, not planning to travel by road for permanent move as there are some complications on reporting your exit from US if you traveled to US by flight and exiting via road. There are some options to record your exit, but that takes some time for your I-94 update.

Some of my friends have got their PR card shipped by their relatives using Fedex and UPS overnight delivery as those are much safer compared to other cheaper options.

Not really, I have done it thrice and CBSA accurately recorded the exit via road every single time to CBP. My I-94 was updated instantly as I checked it within minutes.

Data use by the United States
Canadian entry data collected at land ports of entry is shared with the US to create an exit record.

The US uses its exit records:

  • to manage its border
  • to verify the travel date, or
  • for any other lawful purpose consistent with its domestic law

Hi,

1. I have mailed my application for the PR card on May 20th to “Etobicoke IRCC – PR Card Photos” office. And since then I have not received any kind of Email notification to my account regarding the status for the arrival of new PR card. Can I get to know how much processing time is left on my application?

2. Also, I was trying to link an existing application to my account but that too gives an error saying that “Based on the information you entered, we found no applications.” How can I link my application? Did any one have luck with connecting the application online?

Thanks & Regards

I am not sure how it got updated in your case. But travelling via land, I-94 gets updated only once you re-enter US or if you have paper based I-94 which you have to turn to CBSA office during Canada entry. There is no CBP office at exit, you directly reach CBSA.
Last time when I traveled in 2018, my I-94 did not get updated when I entered Canada, it only got updated once I re-entered US.

Here is the reference from official site: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home
Its on the home page (right side at the bottom).

How do I report my departure if I enter via air and depart via land?
If you have a paper form I-94 and depart by land, you can turn the form into Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) upon entry into Canada or to CBP at the port of entry prior to entering Mexico. If you received an electronic I-94 upon arrival by air or sea and depart via land, your departure may not be recorded accurately. A departure will be recorded if you depart via land and re-enter the United States prior to the expiration date stamped in your passport. If you are not a resident of Canada or Mexico and you receive an electronic I-94 and depart via land, but do not re-enter the United States prior to the expiration date stamped on your passport, you may want to travel with evidence of your departure into Canada or Mexico. Evidence of departure can include, but is not limited to, entry stamps in a passport, transportation tickets, pay stubs and/or other receipts. A traveler can request an entry stamp from CBSA when entering Canada or from the InstitutoNacional de Migracion (INM) when entering Mexico.
