It is way out of norm. It must be very frustrating for you. See if you can contact your local MP’s office to follow it up. Sending another application is going to take another 3 months at least unless its urgent.
Great idea about contacting my MP. I'll do that today. Thanks for answering!

I'm on the same boat. Applied in June 2020 and so far no answer. It's still as "Submitted". I send webforms every week. Same response about delays
I'm going to contact my local MP as mindHacker suggested. I'll post on here if I get any traction. There is also a helpful comment about a rule and timeframe that I'm going to look int.

I contacted mine. I have not received any answer either . 9 months is just way too much

Hi,

I am in the same boat.

I've applied for my second renewal on June 11t, 2020.
Got AOR on September 17th

I've called and sent many web-forms, and they told me that my application was approved in September! Yet, they told me that my card was randomly selected for in-person pick-up from the Montreal office which apparently is closed. In December I got a request for new photos to be sent, and in my last call, they told me that my card is in the queue for production since February 22nd. So now I am just waiting....

Hello guys

How long it usually takes for PR card to be shipped after Ecas status shows decision is made.

Man, I'm really unlucky - I'm about 2 weeks earlier than you and have only gotten "Decision Made" as of two weeks ago with no further news.. :/

That said, congratulations; getting any updates is so frustratingly slow.

We have the same situation :( I forgot to include a copy of it since it was not on the checklist!! Did you do anything?
Nope. There are folks in the forum whose application went through without including the copy of PR card. It does not look like a super mandatory thing.
