Check your personal info if you have no luck linking your application
For example the city of your birth, supposed to be the same as the one on your passport

Have you tried to link your application by your application number? It starts with R and is in the subject of AOR Email.

What about new PR card? How much time is it taking for people to get approval and receive their card in this covid situation?

Hello Experts,

Hope everyone is safe.

I have following questions:

1. My PR is expiring in end of this year i.e. Dec 2021. Do we need to wait for some more time before applying for renewal or I can apply for renewal any time ?

2. My daughter and wife PR is expiring in Jun 2022, should we apply together or I apply for myself, and apply for my wife and daughter next year ?

Many Thanks.
