I've had my PR card since mid-2020, so there's still time. Our goal for a move is later this year, and if that works out, we'll be in good shape. But if we can't get up there until later in 2023 or beyond, the 730 actual physical days present in Canada won't be achievable, so we'll be looking...

Our intent has always been to get to the GTA as soon as possible to reunite with family there, hopefully we can make that happen sooner rather than later, and not have to worry about counting any days outside Canada. But it's nice to know IRCC's real requirements in case this runs closer to the...

Thank you for all of this. Enlightening to say the least. The statute seemed so clear and simple and prima facie. Who knew there could be so much nuance!

I'm sorry, but I for one do not have an answer for you. Since this particular forum has been mostly focused on PR card processing, it might benefit you to look for another forum that can focus more keenly on steps to take at the CoPR level. Best of luck.

Received the PR card yesterday.

Landed late May. Recently sent IRCC WebForm to request update. IRCC replied last week that "your permanent resident card should be mailed shortly."

Thanks, it's good to hear that they're moving forward with PR card processing. And congrats!

Just curious if anyone is getting their first PR cards? If so, how long was your wait time, from the time you landed?

landed mid-May, still waiting for PR card
