My brother's card was mailed out yesterday, no update for me yet. Really hoping mine starts soon!

Here's his timeline:

Permanent Resident Card
  1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on April 14, 2020.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on September 1, 2020.
  3. We started processing your application on September 1, 2020.
  4. Your Permanent Resident card was sent by mail on September 8, 2020.
My brother's card arrived today! That was a quick and smooth process.

Now I'm worried about mine since I need it more urgently haha... still no update on ECAS and it's bothering me that our applications were sent together, and yet one has been approved so quickly and the other is, optimistically, still lying in the mailroom and nothing more serious. Even more concerning when you start seeing people from June (congrats nonetheless!) on here saying they've started receiving their new cards, but at least I'm not alone :p

How long it takes to be able to check the status after receiving AOR email? I receive AOR, however, can't check status online.

So I’ve been only checking the status through ECAS, I believe the first day I saw it must’ve been the 3rd or 4th of September. I’d estimate 1 or 2 days for the time you’re asking about, though.

I’ve never gotten an AoR email, checked both inbox and junk. It would be nice to get one, but to date for all the applications I’ve made there’s never been an email.
