I am facing the same issue. Were you able to gain access to your ECAS? And have you received your card yet? Thank you.
sorry for the late reply. no still nothing. I cant access it. I sent a webform twice and they reply saying use the ecas system. idk if they updated my address to what i included in the webform regardless.

Does yours actually say when decision was done? Mine has decision made status and when I click on it, it only says that when they've begun processing my application.
The DM date will follow a few days later. Mine showed in the CIC account part before it showed in ECAS.

Awesome thanks! Just to confirm, there are two websites where you can check the progress? I’ve only been using ecas which shows me different pages depending on how I log in (via gckey and sign in partner)

Good day everyone, Update !!!
I got AOR on Oct 22nd last year, since then my application is in process. I had to travel in Jan due to family reason, I requested urgent process, which was not accepted. I traveled with PR card, applied PR travel document. I got travel document within 2 weeks in Pakistan. It might be different time line from country to country.
This information might be helpful for people who are waiting for their and need to travel on urgent basis..

I am still waiting for PR card though, it is till in process since Oct 22nd ---- Dont care anymore about it, no travel plan for next 2 years, hopefully I ll get it by then.

Permanent Resident Card (2nd Renewal)
  1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on September 29, 2021.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on December 6, 2021.
  3. We started processing your application on December 6, 2021.
The website shows "Decision Made" and has done for at least 6 weeks I think.. I sent the webform twice but no answers, called IRCC 4 times, always hangs up as "no agents are available"

I need to travel soon but I have zero idea how long this is going to take, super frustrating.

Don't loose hope. I also have DM status and it's been almost a month. I called IRCC about 10 times and managed to talk to an agent. Was luckily told that my card was sent out for production today.

Thanks Gerry - I assume I am approved and it's just a card production thing? (No reason why I wouldn't be approved tbh)

I linked my application to my account here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html. Logged in using GCKey.

Then I also tracked progress in ECAS: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en

The IRCC Account updated the Approved bit sooner than ECAS, but ECAS said Decision Made first.

Hope that helps.
