Hi all ,
My PR renewal process in unique .
i need the help of any one has experience in PR renewal .
My PR card was expired for more than 5 years when i applied for renewal .0
In 2013 , i applied for PR renewal ,the card was on local CIC office but i could not pick it up due to extreme family emergency ( Death of first degree relative ) . I came back to Canada on 2015 (by Land ) , and applied again to renew my Card on July 2018 after i met the residency obligation ..
"i need the help of any one has experience in PR renewal ."
I am NOT an expert and I have NO personal experience with renewing/replacing a PR card (I became a citizen not long after my PR card expired). My observations are based on experiences reported by others in conjunction with numerous reliable sources of information.
October 2018 , i got a mail from CIC requested further documents and to fill the residency questionnaire .
Since then , i did not receive anything back from them .
I assume this also means you did in fact submit those further documents and a completed RQ in response to the request. I mention this because it is crucial.
10 Day back , i was checking the link check my application status on CIC website ,and my application status turn to be finally Decision made .
My application linked to the online portal ,but the online portal has not updated yet ( still in process) .
do you think this is a real update ( decision made ) and does it means approved or Rejected ?
The situation is not clear. You appear to be reporting that the online information regarding your specific PR card application showed your application status as Decision Made and yet did NOT show that status but rather showed it was In Process. It is very difficult to discern what is happening unless the information can be relied on to be accurate. Note, for example, it may seem a bit picky to point out there is
NO CIC website, and that there has NOT been a CIC website for nearly five years, but it illustrates a lack of accurate reporting. In this regard, even though this particular detail is unimportant, the other details are important, and again some of your other details are, at the least, not clear. Making it especially difficult to discern what is happening.
Assuming there is a Decision Made and you appropriately responded to the request for additional documents, including a properly completed RQ:
Given the extent to which the situation is not clear, as
@Buletruck observed, it is impossible to offer any for-sure or even almost for-sure assessment.
That said, based on what you have reported, it is NOT at all likely a decision has been made to deny the PR card application. This is less than for-sure given the extent to which the situation is not clear. But a rejection or denial without being scheduled for an interview is highly unlikely UNLESS it is determined that you have already lost PR status. And you do not report anything which suggests that you had already lost PR status.
Thus, assuming there is in fact a Decision Made, and assuming you appropriately responded to the request for additional documents, including a properly completed RQ, it is likely that IRCC has decided to issue a new PR card. As, apparently, did CIC back in 2013 (back before the name change to IRCC).
The decision to issue a new PR card does not necessarily mean the new PR card will be DELIVERED to the PR.
Observations About a Decision Made to Issue New PR Card:
The process of applying for and obtaining a new PR card is NOT complete until there is actual delivery of the PR card to the PR. That is, a decision to ISSUE a new PRC does NOT mean the PRC will for-sure be delivered to the PR.
For most PR card applications, those routinely processed, the decision to issue the PRC is immediately followed by mailing the new PRC to the PR. Process done. PR gets PRC in the mail (last I knew, a new PR card will be mailed ONLY to a PR's actual residential address, not a mailing address, not to a representative).
There are various reasons why IRCC will decide not to mail a new PRC and, instead, send the PRC to a local office and give the PR notice to appear at the local office to obtain the PRC IN PERSON. In these cases ONLY the PR can obtain the PRC from the local office.
It appears that is the procedure you encountered in response to your 2013 PRC application, and since you failed to appear to obtain the PRC in person, that application was PROBABLY deemed abandoned. (This *probable* outcome refers to a possibility that you had already lost PR status; that does NOT appear to be the situation but again, given the extent to which your situation is not clear, I fell compelled to acknowledge that possibility even though it appears to be highly unlikely.)
Observations About a Decision Made to Issue New PR Card, and the New PR Card to be Delivered In Person:
When this happens, the PRC is in fact "issued," meaning the new card is actually made. It is then referred to the appropriate local office and the PR is sent a notice about appearing at the local office to obtain delivery of the new PRC IN PERSON.
My guess, emphasizing it is just a GUESS, is that this is what is happening in your case. Which, by the way, is not particularly unique. While your general situation is not common, it is rather similar to more than a few other PRs.
My guess that this is what is happening in your case is based on what is most likely . . . but again, I can only GUESS given the extent to which your situation is not clear.
Assuming my
guess is accurate or close: While your case is not unique, it is uncommon enough we do not have much information about the timeline or some of the particulars in the procedure. It is probably the local office which sends the notice to the PR. Thus, it could take some time, weeks or even a month or more, for that notice to be sent to the PR. I do not know what the online status will show in the meantime.
When a PRC is sent to the local office to be delivered to a PR In Person, at the very least there will be a counter-interview which will include what might be described as Program Integrity questions, questions intended to verify some key information as well as verify the individual's identity. However, sometimes the PR can be scheduled for a more in-depth interview and be more closely questioned about RO-related information, to verify that the applicant is in compliance with the Residency Obligation . . . and this includes in compliance as of the day of the interview.
Additional Observations:
It may be prudent to make a telephone call to the IRCC help line and specifically inquire about the status of your PRC application.
Whether or not you have continued to stay in Canada since you made the PRC application, and especially whether or not you are currently IN Canada, could be important factors.
And . . .
. . . i noted about many application sent to local office for further review , do you think that is the meaning of Decision made ? or decision made means only Approved or Rejected ?
There are various reasons why a PRC application may be sent to the local office. I went into some detail regarding one: sent to the local office so the PRC can be delivered to the PR In Person.
A PRC application may be sent to the local office either BEFORE or AFTER a decision made. Again, the obvious example of a referral AFTER a decision made is when it is sent for the purpose of delivering the PRC in person. Among the various circumstances in which the PRC application file may be referred to a local office BEFORE a decision made is a referral to the local office for the purpose of conducting an in-depth examination as to compliance with the Residency Obligation.
A local office referral can also be made for purposes of evaluating other grounds of inadmissibility, but that does not appear to be much relevant for you.
