PR Card Delayed - VERIFICATION in process - Anyone in the same boat ?

[Arora5983]

No Sarayu - my card hasnt been dispatched - the agent clearly said its under 'verification' and not sure how long before they print it - what confuses me is they took a decision only after 10-months of verification of my candidature (admissibility/eligibility/medical etc) then whats that they are still looking for ? i have full-time permanent employment in totally related to my Canadian studies and i am ready to provide whatever documentation they want, if that's the case? i have been given the same response whenever i called for almost a month now (i am checking with them since my wife received her PR card but not me) !!!

I wouldnt be super-worried if both of us didnt get our PR cards !!

Hi SSR,

We are also in same boat, i called 2-3 times CIC call center, person replied that they are doing some verification and they don't know nothing apart from this and We are travelling to India in start of Oct. Don't know what to do.

I am exactly in the same dilemma - i have plane tickets booked for end of August and haven't received my PR card - I explained the same to CIC and they suggest me to apply for travel document in India - probably its easy to say from their end, but involves so much work, and that i am going on vacation, dont want to spoil it by going around these offices and filling up all the necessary documents, and hoping everything to go smooth - to be honest this is insane !!

Verifying what? Are we still alive/dead?
Honestly their procedures are so lame sometimes that they don't make sense.

Hi SSR,

I can understand your pain, but still one thing I wanted to tell you here. Applying for a travel document in India is not very difficult. I mean that's the last option you got.

I had applied for travel document in Hyderabad VFS office (don't need to go to Canadian Consulate in New Delhi). In my case it took around 20 days to get my visa stamped. Please let me know if you need more info on this.

I am in Calgary and can talk over the phone as well just in case if you need more information.

Thanks,
Sarayu.

Hi Guys

I am in the same boat. Landed on Apr 23rd still havent received my card. When I spoke to CIC call center agents, they said its under verification.

In my case, I landed in Winnipeg and gave my friends address in Winnipeg. Then updated it to another friends address in Toronto. Finally I ended up accepting a job in Edmonton and moved to edmonton and again updated the address to Alberta. I think this might have raised a concern for them and they are doing additional verification.

Does any one here change your address more than once?

Sorry to hear that there are more people adding to this list. YES i did, but i moved within the same city and it was just before i got PPR. So i doubt that would have caused a problem in my case.

Lets hope this god-knows-what-exactly-is-this-verification would end soon and we get our PR cards.

Hi ab100,

This is totally unfair by CIC to delay in issuing the PR cards. Are you single OR have a family with wife and kids? Because SSR's wife received her PR card but he is still waiting.

In my case, I have called them at least 5-6 times just in 15 days span. Every time they use to say, everything looks great on your file but we don't know why the cards issuing department is not shipping your cards. Finally one day the CIC call center agent said, I sent a message to issuing department to look at your file...So, 2 days after that our 4 cards were shipped.

Just keep following them man. Good luck.

Thanks,
Sarayu.

Waiting game for PR is very frustrating. We did our landing on 20th March, 2014 and left Canada on 3rd April except my son who remained there. He keeps following up with CIC about our landing PR but to no avail. The answer is always " your file is under variation". I have no clue how to come out of this frustrating situation.

Would appreciate suggestions please.

Hi,

We have landed on May 17, 2014 under NLPNP. Now we have moved to BC. We still retained our NL postal address just in case. This morning, we received a call from CIC card processing saying that our photos have been missing and we need to take our photos along with drivers licence and passports to local CIC office. They even gave an appointment. We told them that we cant make it and asked for an appointment in the closest CIC office. Now my question is did anybody else face the same situation? Its almost 63 days since we landed. Help please.. ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Better go pay a visit to NL and get it done over there where they booked your appointment. I would not risk it.

Hi,

Have you received ?, if not, what is the feedback from CIC. We landed on 20th March, no PR yet .
CIC says it's under varification.

 

[karamatnajeeb]

I agree. I will follow up with another call tomorrow hopefully I get a positive feedback. And no, I'm single.

Hi,

Would you share the status of your PR cards with us, hope they have been received ?, if not, what is the feedback from CIC.
