    You were right! Checked my mail box on Friday (card was sent on Monday) and it was already there. I am officially good to go for my trip this Thursday :)

    No, not yet. It is coming from Nova Scotia and I live in Alberta. As per Canada Post service times, it should take around 8 business days for me to get it. That would be next Wednesday (June 6th). Hopefully it arrives sooner. Lets see.

    Yes, those are two independent applications. You can apply for PR card renewal with the citizenship application in process, without any issues. That is what I did

    Don't go by the posted processing time, it is taking about 5 extra days at least, based on other people's timeliness (maybe because they don't update it that often). In my case, processing time was 117 days from the day they received the application to the day they mailed the card, and 41 days...

    Mine was sent to production Wednesday - Thursday of last week and was mailed Monday of this week. So, 2 - 3 business days later. If it helps as a reference...

    Not really I think. I just kept calling throughout the day until I was able to get through.

    Sept 2017 - Any PR Card renewal applications submitted

    I think I called three times, the first time when I called to ask a question about my citizenship application and just asked for any additional details they might have on the PR Card; the second time after I passed the posted processing time, they didn't have more details than what I could see...

    No, I got the information when I checked on the status online, by clicking on it to see the details.

    Hi all! Update! My application changed to "Complete" today! My card was mailed yesterday (May 28th). It seems like I will have it in time for my trip next Thursday! :)

    Yes, still "Decision Made". I'll call again tomorrow or Wednesday if I don't see any changes, to get an update.

    Also a copy of your rental car reservation showing pick up in Seattle and return in Vancouver, if you are renting a car

    Everything is possible, it is up to you to decide if you are willing to take the risk. I honestly don't think that they would not let you in. Just try to bring evidence that you live in Canada just in case. An employment letter to confirm that you have a job and are travelling for business for...

    I don't think they will have an issue. I know of people who live in Vancouver and do it all the time because it is cheaper to fly from Seattle in some cases. Just explain that you are going to Vancouver, but crossing the border by car...

    They need at least 3 weeks for urgent processing. To have your card next week, they would have to mail it today or tomorrow and that is not going to happen. Your only option is to re-route your return flight to a border city in the US and cross the border in a private vehicle. However, I am not...

    I am not an expert, but I think (just think, not 100% sure) that a DM could mean approved, rejected or passed to secondary review. It doesn't mean approved automatically. And also, it used to be (at least last year) that they would open the application, send the AOR, check everything right away...

    That same number, with options 2-3-3-0. I received that same message (about the influx of calls) and had to call multiple times at different times throughout the day, until finally my call went through and I was added to the queue (the wait time was around 40 min after that).

    Just an update. I got off the phone with IRCC, the agent confirmed that my card had been approved, and he also mentioned that it was "sent to production" yesterday. He said that he believes that it should be mailed to me beginning of next week. Hopefully that is the case, and I have it for my...
