IRCC requires me to pick up my renewed PR card in person

The exact same thing happen to me, this is so ignoring, I need to travel to a different city to get my card (have the "interview"). When is your "appointment"? they put mine next year, I wonder if it can be reschedule to an earlier date.

Many first PRs between of november have got in person pick up opportunity. But email clearly says it's temporary n if u choose not to pick up then delivery by mail will resume early 2025. Does yours not say that? If it does u can just wait for Canada Post delivery. Last date for pick up is 10 jan in all mails. Since u r renewing maybe ur letter is different? There is no mention of interview or appointment in mine.

Hello everyone! I applied to renew my PR card last month (I have mostly lived in Canada for the past five years, with only a few short trips abroad), and today I received an email from IRCC asking me to pick up my PR card in person at their local office. They also mentioned that I might be asked questions about residency and that I should bring the original documents submitted for the application.

My questions are:

1. Why am I being asked to pick up the PR card in person? Is this normal? I have definitely met the residency obligation in the past five years.
2. When I applied to renew my PR card, I only submitted the five years' NOA as supporting documentation. Do I only need to bring the printed five years' NOA?
3. The email also mentioned that I might receive either a one-year or five-year PR card. What is the one-year card about?
4. Can I pick up my card on the same day I go to the IRCC office?

Thanks,

So how did the pick up process go ?
