Hi Penguin123,

Did you application went into secondary review after you got error message from ECAS?
I was able to access status of my application till yesterday. However, today when I try to check status using my UCI number, I get a message that the system cannot indentify me using the information I provided. Did same thing happen to you as well?
Thanks.

They sent me correspondence on Oct 25 asking for photocopy passport but they didn't mention anything about secondary review. I tried calling the hotline a few times but nobody can give me an accurate answer. They didn't confirm or deny I am in secondary review - just in process.

So after I got the error message, I called the next day and the guy on the phone told me I'm in secondary review. I might be kicked into secondary review on Oct 25... but I will never be sure ???

This is my time line

Got it today Dec 2016
They did not ask for any documents. and Cards are valid for 5 years.

Good News guys!
I called CIC today (Dec 5) and they said my PR renewal has been approved. She said my new PR card was sent to production on December 1, 2016.
I signed into my account yesterday (Dec 4) to check my status but I was getting this message: "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons" so I knew something was up and decided to call CIC. Here's my timeline for your reference:

We received your application for a permanent resident card on August 31, 2015.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on January 23, 2016.
We started processing your application on January 23, 2016.
We sent you correspondence on January 27, 2016. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

My question for everyone is How long does it take to receive new PR card in mail after it goes into production? CIC told me it can take up to 6 weeks. I would like to hear from people who recently got their PR card.

Just an update: Today I got my PR card in mailbox.
