PR CARD RENEWAL SUBMITTED March 2026

[fotkifolkslove]

My PR card was expired in 2024, so I stayed back in Canada. I've finished my residency obligation on 23-Feb-2026. Applied for PR card renewal on 4-March-2026. Card showed up in my mailbox on 24-March-2026. It took 20 days to receive the card, even though there is no change of status in the portal.

that was fast. hope we receive quickly too.

I recall doing a PRTD application in 2023 (online application) and it was approved in like 1 day, applied on Friday end of day, received PPR on Monday morning. That was super fast. For PR cards, I think they are a bit slow.

Applied online on March 11, 2026. No correspondence yet, not able to link to gckey.

Called this morning and they said they were still doing completeness checks, then they put the application in the main system, after which you can link which generates an application number.

They said they were working on applications from February 3rd. What? How is the processing time 27 days, if they're over a month behind?

i think the call executive told u abt normal pr cards and not abt pr card renewals. every renewal card is getting delivered in 20-30 days these days. the link application option doesnt work for alot of people even after the card is delivered.

did u check ur status & status id in json of the pr portal? does it show something like 20:completed?
