DM (decision made) could it be approved or rejected?

Hi, I am renewing my pr card, and it shows decision made now, the process stills shows those 3 sentences though. I wonder what does Decision Made mean generally? Does it mean it is approved or rejected?

Thank you very much!

Were you compliant with your RO ?

Yes or No
You haven’t given a lot of information for people to work with

I was asked to provide the copy of first page of my passport as the copy I firstly provided was blurred because of bad printer or ink. I wasn't asked to provide any other documents other than that.

My daughter's documents were all fine, no other documents were asked to provide, and her status turned from in process to decision made.

Thank you very much.

If you are a Permanent Resident and have not been issued a Removal or Departure Order, a Decision Made for a PR card application will almost never mean the application is rejected. It usually means a new PR card is being issued, but for some PRs there can still be some additional procedures before they will actually receive (be delivered) a new PR card.

For example, for most it means that soon or not too much later a new PR card will be issued and mailed to the PR. Sometimes, however, the card can be sent to a local office for an in-person pickup of the card. If that happens that can mean there will be a very routine counter-interview, or it can involve a more formal, extensive interview, when the PR goes to the local office for the in-person pickup.

NOTE: PR card applications are NOT rejected on the grounds the PR has not complied with the PR Residency Obligation (well, there have been rare exceptions, which can be explained but that is a weedy tangent that would be a distraction here). Rather, if IRCC sees the PR card applicant is not eligible for a new PR card because they are not in compliance with the RO, that triggers a formal RO determination. If that happens, IRCC does the formal RO examination and determines whether:

-- the PR met the RO, or​

-- the PR breached the RO but there are sufficient H&C reasons to allow the PR to keep PR status despite the breach, or​

-- the PR breached the RO, H&C considerations do not warrant allowing the PR to keep status, and a 44(1) Report and Removal Order are issued​

Thus, the PR card application itself is not rejected, but IRCC can proceed to make a 44(1) Report and issue a Removal Order, which is a decision to terminate PR status. There is a right of appeal of course so that decision is not immediately enforceable.

Thank you very much for your detailed reply. Now I think I just need to sit and wait ^_^
