What a mess...so you file three applications and they say they cannot find any of them...and you received your card with the photo you send them for the first time but officially returned?
This is a great experience

I know right! You would never imagine how many times I called them! And to receive the 1st picture that they rejected, I have no words.. maybe they’re busy

Congratulations @Michael W , You will get your son's card within a 1 week or so. I just have one question, in the GC key account, what dates it shows for
Date Submitted(on the home page grid) and When I go inside the application by clicking "Check full application status", what is the Date Received?

People who got their renewal PR card delivered to you. Did all of you get an AOR before the card was received. Or only some got AOR?. Is it consistent?

Hi All, this is the timeline for my PR card renewal.

Jan 30: Submitted the application using online PR portal
March 6: Application was returned with 'Incomplete Application' reason and 'View' button was enabled. I checked everything and found no issues.
March 6: Re-submitted the application same day without changing anything. Application status changed to 'Submitted' with new submission date and the return reason was still visible.
April 26: Return reason 'Incomplete application' disappeared from the portal.
May 12: Received my renewed PR card in the mail box

I did not get AOR.I was not able to link my application using GC Key.I could not find my application status using ECAS. Application status in the online PR portal is still 'Submitted'. I was a bit concerned that my frequent travel history (14 entries) could delay the application but I am surprised to see the card today without any updates.

Congratulation! Maybe they just want to charge you twice for the application fee:)

Guys, happy to say that I received the PR card in my mail today.

My PR Portal is still the same. Only shows submitted. Never received AOR confirmation. Applied online on 2 February 2023. Either way, happy that I got it and can travel now.
