Hi. I applied my pr card sept 25 and today I got email like this "We're still working on your application. You may not have heard from us in a little while. This is normal. Most of the progress on your application happens closer to your estimated completion date."
Is it a good sign ?

Updating addresses these days takes weeks to go into effect. It used to be instantaneous, but not any more.

I sent my application in September and I need to travel end of November, I don't think I will get it before but I am leaving anyways and when I get will apply for a travel document to come back as urgent. Wish me luck and will get it on time will give you an update. This is so frustrating and create lots of anxiety.
Just to clarify, you have to apply there... please check the time process of the country you are going

My family member's eCAS was updated as expected today. Status is now showing "Complete".

Permanent Resident Card
  1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on June 29, 2021.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on October 21, 2021.
  3. We started processing your application on October 21, 2021.
  4. Your Permanent Resident card was sent by mail on October 27, 2021.

Will still hang around this thread to help people with their questions :)

Normally an application goes straight from AOR to DM. If you are in In Process - it most likely means they are verifying your information on your file, as well as physical presence. I remember some senior members mentioned that In Process refers to some degree of non-routine processing of your file.

Hi all.

Myself and my partner sent our applications for a PR renewal at the end of May 2021. We have since heard nothing - no email/call, etc.

Is anyone else out there in the same boat? I can't call or email them either - tried and they do not answer/respond. :(

That's a bit too long. Are you able to check your status on eCAS or GCKey?

Ok but how long this will take? What in understand that if it’s not immediate than it means it’s gone for non routine processing

I have seen people having from In Process to Decision Made ranging from days, to months, with extreme cases into years. But if you are in good compliance of your RO, your travel history is accurately reported and you appear to be well settled in Canada. There should be nothing to worry about.

Did anyone here get an "update" email that said something like: "We're still working on your application #0123456"

And if so, how long was it from then till getting an AOR?

Thanks
