Anyone else have a difference between ECAS and GCKEY login?

ECAS says Current status "Submitted"

IRCC other status is "Decision Made"

It's been a good 6/8 weeks now on Decision Made

What a grim process...

How do I check the status of my PR card if I entered through the order as an outland applicant? I only have the original GC key portal which only shows approval for PR application not the status of the PR card. Is there a different portal to check for PR card status?

Thank you, this helps a lot. I'm not able to find my application. Is there a wait time before it shows up in the system? I landed this week, wondering If its supposed to be instant or there's a wait time.
I think it should be instant. Please check the way your place of birth is mentioned in passport and enter exactly the same (CAPS, spaces etc.) If not, try putting place of birth as per CoPR

Thank you, it was the place of birth written in CAPS. Is it normal for it look just like the PR application status page? Meaning I see same sections like eligibility, medical exam section, background check... etc.

Hang in there bro ! Even I didn't get the card. Online system says was mailed on March 3rd and I am in Toronto. Called and they said was mailed on the same day. I have raised a request with Canada Post for inquiry and let us wait till next week. I have a feeling someone just pressed the button to change the workflow and didn't physically mail the card :)
