2016 PR CARD APPLICANTS TIMELINE

[Reom27]

Hi guys,

The address for receiving PR card, does it have to be a residential address or can it be a mail box (P.O box)?
Has anyone used P.O. Box

Thanks

In the guidelines, it is written that PR Cards will be sent only to residential addresses (i.e., mailing address will be ignored if they are different than the provided residential address). As for your question, it is mentioned that "PR cards will only be mailed to post office (PO) boxes if the P.O. box is your residential mailing address. If no residential address is provided, processing will be delayed until your residential address is provided".

Reom27 - I'm sure your card will be in mail now. Hopefully the Thursday ECAS status will have the update your case.

My and my family's (wife & daughter) PR cards (Renewal) have been approved.

Here is our time line:

March 29 - We received your application for a permanent resident card on February 23, 2016.
March 31 or so - We started processing your application on March 30, 2016.
April 28 - Your request for a permanent resident card was approved on April 21, 2016. Your Permanent resident card will be mailed to you or if quality assurance is required, made available for you to pick up at a CIC office.
April 29 - Received PR cards in mail for all 3 of us.

I have spent 832 days in Canada in last 5 years.
My family (wife & daughter) spent 751 days in Canada in last 5 years.

It was not an urgent processing request.

A Question if any one can reply
Mine and family PR Cards (total 3) are getting expired in Oct.2016.
Can I apply for renewal early or have to wait till they get expired on the due date?
I landed in canada in Jan.2013 and living here since then except made 1 home country visit last year in March.2015.
I am planning to visit states in Aug/Sept So I thought I apply early for renewal.
Thanks

Do you see the approval for all of your family members or only your application ? I have applications for me and my wife received to CIC on March 03 and hoping to get the approval soon. I want them get processed together as we have exactly same entry/exits and have lived here since 2013 , 1060 days

The timeline that I have mentioned is same for me and my family members. We submitted our 3 applications on same day in one package and shows their applications received, processed and approved by them on same dates as mine.
I read somewhere that they process family applications on same time lines as they have same records and it saves their time and efforts to process and verify each application individually.

Don't worry most probably you & your wife will get the approval news next week. Best of luck.
