PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

[Hbeeb]

Any idea how long PR cards generally take to arrive in the mail once it's been sent? I'm in BC

@BadGamer6 Do you know why there is delay even if the application is approved and sent to production?

Mine and spouse's cards sent to production on October 16, 2021 but no updates after that We booked flights for December 10 to bring our son and this our first PR card

I have no idea unfortunately. According to the Operational Manual established by the IRCC - the printing Is done at somewhere called Card Production Facility. I can only imagine they have a lot of cards to be produced and it's taking time. I think you should be able to receive your cards right on time.

I updated mine last Friday. I see the new address now on eCAS.

How did you update your address? on ecas or by calling them?

Why would you want to request GCMS notes for this? I know you are worried but there's no point. Unless let's say you are 3-6 months into the process and there's no update. You can try to call maybe after 2-3 weeks if your status is still IP. Just continue to check your status on eCAS for the moment, if possible, link your application on GCKey.

Again I have no idea of your circumstance and that's just my 2 cents.

I’m just worried as my rest of the family was super fast, anyway have no clue about gckey or notes as someone in this group suggested that I can’t link my application with gckey and I should apply for notes.
Thanks for the support, Will keep a check. Thanks again

Just to clarify, you have to apply there... please check the time process of the country you are going

Hi, yes I will apply through the VAC. I am flying to the Dominican Republic, I need to go see my family. Hoping won't take too long to get the PRTD I will include an employment letter since my materna leave is ending and I have to go back to work, I will also include my plane tickets.

Only eCAS. I don't wanna talk to these people otherwise they will deny the card for me...

I don't know about others, but my last card took months to be approved . According to my account records my application to renew a card expiring in Nov 2016 was sent July 2016, approved Feb 2017, but the expiration date was "backdated" to Nov 2021. I am a "weird" case as I travel out of Canada for extended periods of time with my Can Citizen spouse and kids, but despite the extra processing time, they did not extend my expiration date fwiw. Your mileage may vary as this might just have been my case.

Thanks for your reply! hmmm, good to know they don't extend expiry date for all the cases. I guess it's hard to predict what they are gonna do..
