Not even sure if it matters anymore. They do update the processing time but also tell you not to believe it when you call them.
The processing time is 110 days but I am about to hit the 6 months mark in a few more days waiting for my card. They tell me that there is nothing special about my application as such.

Oh and prcessing time for all other application like TRV or Sponsorship are through the roof and increasing.
did u apply for renewal? did u meet the RO? Wonder whats taking so long in your case

Congrats. Happy for you. What was your reasoning for urgent processing if you dont mind me asking?
My husband lives outside of Canada and I have to travel for his surgery next month. I couldn't submit doctor's note but did submit purchased plane tickets with payment receipt and a detailed letter explaining the situation. I am so happy they considered my situation

Ya, its card renewal. I'v been outside of Canada for a total of 71 days in last five years on vacation, so surely meet the RO.

I have no idea whats the delay about and they wont tell me either.

I did the same thing as well. My wife got her PR card (1.5 months back) and I have not yet received mine. The status on my profile is "Submitted" and they received my application on 20th August. :(
I am in the same situation.
Application submitted June 19. Partner's card received in September, and I'm still waiting......

Hi,

Did they ask for any questions or did they just process this directly?

Thank you

I don't understand why they do this. They open a package containing all that's required but only process half of it, crazy.

I hope we get our cards soon. :(

btw did you try calling them?

Currently the processing time is 110 days & they are issuing AORs for mid sept applications. You should expect AOR by mid Dec.

Yes I called twice. The first time the just said sometimes it takes longer for certain cards to be processed.

I also called on Friday, because even though our child's card is listed as approved, we hadn't received it. Turns out they sent it to the wrong address, and old address, even though we wrote the correct new address in a letter in our package.

As far as my card is concerned, the agent had no idea why it wan't processed yet, and even seemed apologetic that it was taking so long.
