I sent mine in the first dates of July - got AOR 26th October. technically 4 month on the shelf. If you have a signature of delivery, then wait (due to extremely crazy covid upline, it is all about travel restrictions). I have read some news article about PR, and they say up to 11 month of delay, due to feds regulations.
ELEVEN MONTHS??????? Wow! Does the expiry date on the new card reflect that?

Read that
VANCOUVER -
Frustration is growing among many Canadian permanent residents who want to become citizens. McLaughlin on Your Side has received complaints that it is taking up to two years or longer to process citizenship applications.

I have no idea what to think now. I sent them a message, but it looks like they do not care much about the time now. Some PR cards go smooth, some of them stuck. It is better not to read news nowadays. Frustration

How to call them? It is way too long. I have mailed my PR for replacement on July 7th. AOR October 26 processing started. Nothing after that. I understand, that avoid non essential travel, but I had PR card it is a changing the name. I need to apply for citizenship. Does anyone know the phone number, as the one I call had only robot information. Pressing 0 does do much
im similar timelines, they received my PR package on June 28, AOR Oct 15 an nothing since, and nothing since. I have called them and they said its gone to processing, I called again a few weeks later and they said its still in processing. Then I contacted my MP and they just had a generic update.

I seriously dont get it. Decision made since 3 months. Well thats great but how about also informing about the decision? Everything is just so intransparent there. False and inaccurate information on their website in my eyes.

Hopefully I'll receive the card next week sometime!

Adding my timeline for more DP:

Mailed application on October 22, 2021. Silly enough did not add tracking to my mail and have agonized over this throughout Christmas!

Finally received my AOR on January 11, 2022:
  1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on October 28, 2021.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on January 11, 2022.
  3. We started processing your application on January 11, 2022.
I do see Decision Made in my application status front page, but date when decision was made was not stated in the details of an application. Hopefully all is good, fingers and toes crossed. Will update this post when I have further updates.

Technically the same window. Lets imagine that summer months are made for fun not for work and Xmas time is another month off. In this case 7 months minus summer minus xmas equlas = 3 months only in process. I am trying to think positive.

So, even MP had no answer. Who are those people uphere publishing posts, that they had a nice conversation with PR dept, and they were helpful... interesting. They do not answer emails and operators are always busy. It looks like we have some "fake good news" to cover that delay. This site is well known, and lots of authorities read real life reviews. And the real life reviews are described by one word - FRUSTRATION
