Lesson learned:
We sent the application for spouse & kid for PR renewal. We realized we didn't attach copy of PR card. Anticipating the application will be returned (assuming they would return both the applications as they were sent together), we sent anew package with updated applications for both & the same fee receipt.
Spouse's PR AOR was received but didn't get any update for the kid. Called CIC - they said only the kids application was returned as it was missing stuff. They also refunded the $50 fee only for the kid, as we had put one receipt of $100. So the new package we sent anticipating will also be returned.
Lesson learned.
Interesting, so they accepted your Spouse PR application without PR copy in the package ?

And the next for my spouse:

  4. Your Permanent Resident card was sent by mail on September 15, 2020.

Interesting how our applications were received on the same day but the approvals were a week apart.

Hey guys, how can I access my application on ECAS? I applied for my first card and linked the application to MyCIC. But still when I search in ECAS by my UCI, it only shows my PR application with status "Completed" and nothing else. Is there supposed to be a delay until it shows up? if so, how long?

Would appreciate if you can help me with this, I am very worried :(

Congrats

Curious to know - Did you check the status daily? If yes, where was it updated first, in mycic or application status?

I think you misunderstood my question. My PR application is complete, not the PR card. I can't find my PR card application in ECAS, it's only showing in MyCIC account.
Thanks
