PR Renewal applications April 2025

[caloca]

Hi! Are you all receiving your cards via Canada Post, or is IRCC mailing them through Fedex lately? Sent my application on Friday and seems like a national strike is still a possibility after CP's final offer. (Not sure if there's a May thread)
My application included a name change, not sure if that will take more than the expected 2 weeks : (

I called IRCC yesterday and they told me that my card was mailed on May 28th. I hope to receive it soon, because if Canada Post goes on strike, I'll have to wait.

My PR card status :
Applied on 16 th May.
Card sent thro Canada post on 28 th May.

Ah, that sucks. I thought/hoped they had opted for Fedex for the time being. My app was sent May 23 and 24 for my partner's.

Hi,

Anyone here with June 2025 submission?
I submitted on June 2, 2025 - no update yet. PR portal shows submission date as June 3, 2025 and status as submitted- no confirmation email or AOR as of today. I checked the UpdatedAt: yesterday and it said undefined? I’m just wondering if there’s any chance that my application can still be returned or since it’s been more than a week, it means that things are going ok.

PR renewals don't seem to provide useful updates for a month or so - by which many applicants already got their cards in the mail. You submitted less than ten days ag0 - I'd just leave it and not look at the tracker until July, needless stress for little return.

(I know, easy to say, harder to do)

Not knowing the status is a killer - if I knew it was complete, received and being processed that would give some peace of mind even if it took some time.

I called IRCC today and was able to get my application number. The agent told me my application was received on June 3 and hasn’t started processing yet. She said the standard processing time is June 17 so we have to wait till then. I asked if it’s in process and she said no an agent hasn’t looked at it yet. It seemed to me like it’s not going through the normal process and maybe there’s some secondary review happening? Any thoughts?

Also my phone number and and address were foreign address and phone number from country of origin from my initial immigration application and the agent now updated them with my current Canadian address and phone number. Does this mean anything?

Way too soon to forecast much. These days most applications are processed very quickly and for many the card is on its way before the PR gets an update.

Biggest difference these days is whether the application meets criteria for automated decision-making. The precise nature and extent of the automated decision making process for PR card applications is not known, but it appears some applications are given automated approval resulting in approval and card issue almost immediately, and some given some kind of preliminary or tentative approval requiring an officer's review, but that is done in less than two weeks. And IRCC's published information about recent processing times suggest that these cover most applications.

Applications which do not satisfy the criteria qualifying for those automated decisions are probably going into a queue for processing that will take a couple or four months, comparable to processing time lines for last year (and subject to variability from time to time, like the previous processing time lines were), for routinely processed applications.

That said, applications considered high complex can still go into non-routine or secondary review queues that take a lot longer, many months or more.

It appears that those benefitting from the automated decision-making process generally get a new card within four to six or so weeks, often with little or even no other notice as to status.

Still in process.

It is to be noted that we lived here for 12 years out of 17 years.
We left canada in june 2018 and arrived in April 2023.
When we arrived in canada, the PR card was valid for just 40 days.
No 44 report was issued at the port of entry.
We lived here for 741 days before applying for PR card renewal.
Thank you all for guidance and support.
Thank you IRCC.

On checking with IRCC today, we understand that my wife's PR card is sent thro mail already, on 10 th june. Should be getting it by next week.

Any idea (or any guesses lol) how long it would take for an application including a name change? Everything else is fine/routine.
