PR Card Renewal – Urgent Processing Submitted Sept 23, Travel Oct 20 — Advice & Reassurance Needed

Hi everyone,

I submitted my PR card renewal application today on September 23, 2025. My PR card expires September 26, and I have a work trip on October 20. I requested urgent processing with a letter from my employer and flight itinerary.

What I included:​

• 960 days physically present in Canada between Sept 22, 2020 – Sept 22, 2025 (well over the 730-day requirement)
• Detailed travel log
• Employer verification letter confirming the nature of my remote role (travel-heavy)
• CRA Notices of Assessment (last 4 years)
• Bank statements (RBC + BMO) showing salary deposits & transactions in Canada – about 200 pages total
• Rental lease agreement + letter from landlord
• Salary pay slips
• RRSP + TFSA investment accounts
• Ontario Health Card + Provincial ID
• Table of contents to help organize the ~250-page PDF

I know I went overboard but I wanted to make it as easy as possible to review.

Timeline:​

• Application submitted: Sept 23
• Email received from IRCC same day: “PR card application has been initiated”
• Travel date: Oct 20 (business travel)

My Questions:​

1. Has anyone received PR card renewal approval in 3 to 4 weeks recently? Especially after requesting urgent processing with supporting documentation?
2. I listed "Ottawa" as place of landing in the application form, but my place of landing in PR card was Etobicoke. I realized this after submitting. Is this a big deal or something IRCC might overlook?
3. Address history: I lived in Ottawa from 2020–2022 and moved to Toronto in Dec 2022.
   
   • Some older documents (e.g., early 2023 bank statements) still show Ottawa
   • Most recent ones (2024–2025) show my current Toronto address
   • I updated the address section in the form properly but didn’t explain this overlap in my cover letter. Should I be worried?

Any insight or reassurance would mean a lot. I know I’m likely overthinking it, but this is my first time renewing and the stakes feel high.

Thanks in advance
