Yes would assume reduced processing for the 2 weeks around Christmas and New Year’s so could add around 2 weeks to processing if your application is straightforward.
Yes, the processing time is reduced by a day making it to 34 days. But due to holiday season, we can expect a delay.
Some applicants will not be able to link the application even after receiving the PR card.
On 12/22, IRCC agent told that they were processing the applications received on 11/15. So I think we may start getting the PR cards from 2nd week of Jan-2026
Hello everyone I have submitted my PR card renewal application through online application IRCC Portal on Dec 13 2025 but I didn’t receive any acknowledgment email at all when I login it’s show only submitted. Anyone have same experience? I’m just wondering either IRCC received my PR card renewal application? Can anyone share me their experience please and thank you
It is common that we don’t get any acknowledgment email / can’t link the application in portal.
Received PR card of my family member without acknowledgment and linking the application.
Application submitted : 4-Dec-2025
Application returned by IRCC on 7-Jan-2026, Didn't meet photo requirements.
Resubmitted with new Photo: 7-Jan-2026
I didn't receive any acknowledgement after my initial submission.
Called IRCC multiple times in December to check the status of my application. Before Christmas, I was told they are still working on applications received until 15-Nov-2025.
After Christmas when I called, they said they are still looking into applications submitted by 31-Oct-2025.
Any idea how they are going to process my application after resubmitting. Is it based on initial submission date 4-Dec or 7-Jan? If anyone knows, please share the info.

The resubmitted application will be treated as new application. So now your submission date is considered as 7-Jan.
I too called on 15-Dec and was told they were working on applications received on 15-Nov.
Based on your statement, i think they are working on completeness check on the applications received around 4-Dec.
For those who applied in December, has anyone received their card yet? CRA updated processing time as of January 7 is 35 days, which means anyone applying in early December would have had their processed by now
Not received the card but here are my observations.
1. Applications were returned to few people due to photo standard issues who submitted application early Dec-2025.
2. In the previous PR application, seeing the Document Status as INVALID and Status updated date as a date in Jan-2026. Which means they made the current PR card as invalid as the renewal is approved and new PR card is issued. ( Myself and mt friend applied on Dec 4th and both of us are seeing this change). So we hope to get the cards in next 10 days.
How can you view these statuses? My application just says submitted since I put in the application on 20-Dec and can't figure out a way to see anything using Dev tools
As I mentioned, I am looking into my previous PR card application (of the year 2021) status which was linked to my IRCC account. In that previous application, i am referring to the document section.
I am not able to link the current application to view the status of current application.
OK understood...My PR application goes way back in time so can't do much about it but appreciate the inputs
