I hope you get it soon as you applied in June .
But I applied in September so they may take more months

Keeping fingers crossed that our applications will be processed soon.

Hello, to the people that applied urgently, I made a mistake and we sent a family application with my husband urgently application (one envelope), we included all documents and a letter asking for fast processing just for him, but we didn't do anything in the envelope to mark it Urgent. We applied Oct 1 and he hasn't receive any notification.. I assume they are not checking his docs, CAn somebody explain how to expedite his process.. Do I need to send a new application.. We didn't know it will take to long to check the envelopes. Thanks

if you did not write "urgent" on the envelope. They cannot know it is urgent until the envelope is opened which can be another month of waiting. You can send another urgent app now but it will also take about a month before they can process it. So, maybe you should just check the on-line status page regularly to see if they have opened your envelope. Once they do you can send a case-specific enqury on-line.

You can send web enquiry by giving the details like when the applications n reached(check with courier or postal).

They will definetly act on it. Or else just send an enquiry asking what to do.

You can also call call centre and find out.

Thanks for the replay. If I send a new application what is going to happen with the other, do I have to pay again, do i have to send a separate application for my husband and other for the rest of the family..
I think I mess it up don't add Urgent Processing

Yanserahn you probably need to send new application with urgent written on envelope or call IRCC call center they will tell you what to do next.

hi compro I believe the cards are produced in Ottawa so am presuming that they mailed directly from there. rotating strikes are impacting deliveries expect packages too take at least a week longer than nomal.

Hi Omg123, Candoit and Mustafacan:
We finally got the cards today (10th day in transit due to Canada Post strike). They were sent from Syndney NS, btw. Thanks to you guys for making the long wait a little less unbearable and I am wishing you all the best!

My wife got her PR card in the mail yesterday. It took just a touch over 3 months from the date of the application to when she got her card in the mail.

During that time, she became a Canadian citizen so the card is basically invalid on arrival. Now we are looking to mail it back to IRCC!

How long after she applied did she get her AOR? I sent my application Aug. 20th and still haven’t gotten any kind of notification.

How long after she applied did she get her AOR? I sent my application Aug. 20th and still haven’t gotten any kind of notification.

It took well over 2 months before anything showed up on eCAS. Maybe 2.5 months, can't remember the exact date. Basically once it showed up in eCAS, everything moved quickly.

Note that she never officially received any kind of AOR. Only eCAS updates when we checked online.

You'll probably hear something late next week or early the week after.

The only way to deal with it is to forget about your application for a few weeks. It will happen the way it happens regardless of whether you worry about it or not. Worrying does not speed up your application, so why bother?

Now, if you have a flight booked in early to mid December, you might want to consider delaying it as it's improbable your PR card will arrive on time.

Even when you get your AoR, it takes approximately a week to get Decision made and then two weeks for the card to be produced and sent out to you. That's if things go as normal and without any disruption from Canada Post. Take that additional 3 weeks - 1 month into account.

Most early Aug applications got an AoR around Oct 24-30, so you'll probably get yours Nov ~20. Once you see your application in the system you'll relax because things move fast.

Good luck.

Thank you, your response was quite informative.

You’re right about the worrying thing but I have a flight booked for the 18th ( hoping that would be considered more of a late December? Lol)

Yes once it’s in the system I will feel much better. I just need to make sure everything is ok with the application. I worry that I missed something or didn’t fill it out right (I think I have let my nerves get the best of me)

I am in US , I am not able to reach this number

Hi,
Here is my situation,
Application submitted on 30th July
Passport copy was requested along with other docs on Sep 30th- sent after 2 days
We asked them to expedite , then we received email to send web application, we filled in web application 1st week of Oct.

My concern is do they consider the application as new application and it will take another 3-4 months.
My husband tried to call them and was told it will be considered as new application

Online status is never updated so far.
Looks like we made a mistake asking them to expedite the application

when do you think we can expect our card

 

[bps123]

Hello Sir/Mam, quick question what documents they requested?? Because whenever they request documents that means that PR is going to go for secondary renewal but you got decision in one month....and about an year ago it took 6-12 months for renewal candidates...... that’s unbelievable.....

not necessarily, I believe they will let you know they requested passport from me and other docs bez they were not readable.
