Hey, so I just made an account (GCKey way), logged in and added using UCI Client number I believe. I just added in the required details like Last Name, Date of Birth, Place of Birth and it located it. Most of the different options to locate it ask for similar details so I'd suggest just selecting one where you can add all the details with the right answer. If I'm being honest, though, it hasn't proved very helpful thus far.
PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2020
- Thread starter Jabya
- Start date
Its strange to read this because it is my understanding that once you are a PR you are a PR. Whether your card is expired or not should not be an issue - but it seems in your case it is.
I think it is worth keeping a record somewhere of the timelines for now. We all got seriously caught in this pandemic as it relates to the PR cards. If things stay the same you should be expecting an AOR in the next week or two - I will keep an eye on the thread to see how you get on. I was never able to link my application or get an update on line. I am now heading over to the longer waiting game of Citizenship where there an abundance of issues. Hope I make nice friends like you guys in that forum! Good luck April applicants - its close now!
I agree, I've asked and read on this forum and that's also what the official documentation says. But I mean what do you do in a situation like this if the employer makes it an issue? No one seems to have an answer to that.
HI, I am not sure if this would help you but it is worth a try.
Share this link with the employer which is a legitimate government website

This is the process I used:
- category was Permanent Resident Card
- Application Details I selected UCI and Family Name
- Entered the other details and that did the trick!
Not sure if type of PR affects but my overall application was as a family so that might have some impact.
How about approaching your local MP and ask him for a letter stating that your status as a PR is not effected even if the card expires.
I'd be open to trying that, the thing is I don't want to escalate things too much because this is an internship. I mean personally it's important but it'll be over in 3 months, it's also through my school and I haven't gotten them involved yet. Part of the reason is because I know my school's co-op office and how they side a lot with the employer to maintain the relationship. I'm also waiting for these guys to get back to me, they haven't yet made an official decision.
