Hi all, I sent my application on March 25th. IRCC said they could not locate my application in their system because the records only shows applications received up to Feb 10, 2020. Anyone is in a similar situation? Anyone who recently applied PR card renewal and got it back already? Can my new employer refuse my contract if I do not have a valid PR card? Thanks for your help!

Just checked the processing time on CIC website..Shocked to see the timeline now is "174 DAYS" , seems like there is a huge backlog of the applications , I believe it will take 6-8 months to get the situation back to normal...

Unfortunately same as commercial companies the government is not exempt from COVID staffing issues but at least they have taken a shot at putting a more realistic expectation out there versus the days quoted before.

Anybody who has a card expiring in next 9 months , the max in advance can apply ,should take the hint and apply now

Hello, I also applied and sent the application on Mar 19, 2020. But I cannot find anything in the system yet. I have asked them by Web Form. They said that they are processing application before Feb 10, 2020. Do you see anything in system yet?

You won't be able to find anything in the system until they start processing your application. We sent my husband's application March 13th (arrived March 20th) and got AOR on August 18th, which is when we could see it in the system. You are probably a week or two behind us.

Thanks for reply. I actually dropped it in Canada Post on Mar 14, 2020, then it has been reached to their Mail Room on Mar 19, 2020.
I just checked, there has nothing in the system yet.
Are you using the Client ID (XXXX-XXXX) to check?

You haven’t received AOR via email yet? Yes, we used his UCI to search the application status which is where we saw Decision Made and then Complete. My husbands renewal was extremely straight forward, minimal travel only for vacations, so I’m not sure if yours could be a little more complex and therefore taking longer?

Thanks for the great info! I sent my application in July I guess I have to wait a few more months to see something in the system.

Yes, I have not received the AOR until today. It was sent by email? Your decision is made in the same date (Aug 18, 2020)? Many thanks for your experience sharing!

Yes, AOR was sent by email. It looks like they started processing and made the decision the same day for ours (straight forward application).
