Update. After giving up on the online system (which was initiated mid-February 2023), I decided to also mail in a paper application. Here's the timeline: We received your application for a permanent resident card on June 16, 2023. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your...

Mine was accepted too initially, but still they found a problem with it after. The system can't flag specific things that a human can when they come around to checking it. Paper application is honestly the faster way to go.

After the second time, they finally said there was a problem with the photo. Which could have been cleared up right away if they had let him know. He ended up submitting a paper application and resubmitted the online one and the paper application turned out to be faster. They finally finished...

When they returned it the second time, they specified they had a problem with the picture. Went to get them taken again and got the photos emailed to me from the photographer this time. Resubmitted on June 14th, 2023 (online) and still says "submitted" to this date. Did you resend it? Have you...

That applies only if you've been outside of Canada for 1095 days or more in the 5 years, otherwise it's not necessary to submit proof. This didn't apply to my mom when she submitted her application and she didn't submit anything extra. She got her PR card.

I saw that too and thought how insane it was to see such a high number! No need to prove residency obligation. Only if you've been outside Canada for 1095 days or more in the past 5 years.

My dad applied online for his PR card renewal mid-February. On April 08th, he got a message on the portal saying that his application was returned as it was incomplete...the consent and declaration part wasn't filled out. However, it was otherwise he wouldn't be able to submit it initially. He...

Any update for you? My dads still says "submitted" as of April 08th.

Nothing yet. My application still says "submitted". I checked the photos section though before and nothing was highlighted, just the consent/declaration part of the application. Hoping I hear back soon!

The same thing happened to my dad as well. He applied around the same time as you. No email or anything. He also redid the consent/declaration. Did you figure anything out? I'm hoping it doesn't mean that he has to do the whole waiting game again...

No problem! He applied from Hungary. We might have gotten a quicker response due to having a return flight booked for mid-June.

My father's PR card expired while on an emergency family trip. I'm hoping sharing this may help others in a similar situation, as I haven't seen many recent experiences on here. Documents I've scanned and attached to the email to IRCC: 1. The completed document checklist 2. Completed PRTD...

What are considered valid documents to show for residency obligations? From my understanding the last 5 years have to be shown through valid documents? However, my father doesn't have any accounts online (CRA, bank, utilities, etc.). I'm trying to help him gather everything so he could apply...
