I have the same issue, they entered wrong unit number in the same building for wife's application. I changed it online to the correct address. Hope this should update their systems. Currently status is in process
I advise you also to call CIC and make sure that the change you made is updated in their end.

I called CIC call center this morning and the Agent advised me to update using the Online Address change tool and it will be processed in 5 business days. He said he can't change it on his end.

Called the CIC Agent to verify the address update. Confirmed that the new address was updated on their systems. It will still take 5 business days to show up the new address on Case Status in ECAS

Hi,

I just submitted my application for PR renewal, should I expect any confirmation email / letter from CIC that my application is in process? I understand that it takes a while before I can see the status on ECAS, I have to travel to US for work and plan to drive back to Vancouver and need some proof to show at border that my PR renewal is in process, just in case i am asked to.

please adv

Thanks

Thanks for reply. How many days it take generally from Aor email to decision made ?
No one knows. It varies, as it depends on so many CIC factors.
Based on this thread, some people it took them ony 12 days from AOR to DM. Some took them more.

We got our renewal PR cards by mail last week - (applications received by CIC
Jan 29th) ECAS still shows 'in process' so don't get too hung up on ECAS updates.
