14-Jan my application was received in Sydney case processing center
According to what we see in this forum and my own experience, about 55-60 days after the date they receive your application, you can expect to receive the AOR. The processing time which can be checked on the website is 92 days at this moment and is updated weekly, every Tuesday. Needless to say, this processing time is not a fixed time for different applications. For instance, in my case, it's almost been 81-82 days since they received my application and my card is not even mailed and the application has been stuck at "decision made" stage since 14 days ago, due to the recent Covid-19 lockdown, I assume.

After you receive your AOR (usually after 2 days you receive the AOR Email), hopefully your application will be entered in the system, and you can check the status of your application via this link:

Good luck!

Did you try it with your file number? It's in the subject of the email you received as your AOR and starts with R. Like this: RXXXXXXXXX
Do you use this link to check the status?

Use that number mentioned above and select case number. I used same as I got my AOR yesterday and couldn’t login with my UCI.
See my status below and speedy processing to everyone:

I cannot seem to link my application or even check it's status, I've tried everything, i tried over 20 times with my UCI, my name, DOB, etc and it always comes up as nothing found. I got my AOR on January 13th..

Any idea why it's not working
Use R...... number from the subject of your receipt email. Enter this number including letter R as Application number/Case number in the dropdown. This way is working for me. The uci doesnt work as it shows only my citizenship application. Using this receipt number shows me both applications.

Received AOR few mins ago for PR card renewal. 3 of our applications reached cic on Nov 17 2020.
Decision made for me and my wife(possibly due to in process date was yesterday hence they might have DM yesterday).

My son's application still shows In Process possibly because his application is in process only from today.
I received his receipt last night for all of us within few mins gap but below line says that they sent receipt number today. Seems they have some scheduled date to send email(or manually updating these dates).
  1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on November 17, 2020.

hello, any September applicants for PR renewal received their card? if yes, can they share timeline
for those experts with IRCC, when should we expect our card after decision made?
the processing time on the IRCC website reflects the day of application receipt until complete?

Any more update for late October application please?
My application was in process since Dec. 9. But today I got Decision Made (Jan 20). But still the third line says started processing on Dec. 9 After that there is no other line. What is the decision they have made on my application. Is it approved or rejected. I still cannot link my application to my online cic account. I have more than 1000 days of presence on canada in last 5 years.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html
The problem is that I can't use that website and I don't think it's just me. The place of birth field on my COPR is the city I was born in and not the country so I don't think it matches up with their files. Whenever I try to track my application using the UCI or the R number, it just says I'm not recognised.
