How do I view my application in ECAS?

Thanks for the link. It says that my card was sent on 5 March. Typically, how long does it take for the card to arrive, as I have not received it as of today and it has been 8 days since they sent it.

On an average it takes 3 days for printing in case of renewal and then Canada post might take 3 days for delivery. But there could be delays.

You might need to contact them, because it shouldn’t take more than a week to receive mail anywhere in Canada.For me it took 3 or 4 days to receive from Sydney to near Ottawa.

have you checked processing times or your status of the application? How long have you now waiting for the email?

 

[serenus]

Is there anyone who applied without meeting RO(730 days)?

 

[gurisg]

My processing time was 24 days when I applied and I regularly check the email

 

[gurisg]

I have been waiting for their email now nearly as 15 days

[prash42]

Is there anybody whose application was sent in Feb / Mar, who has received email acknowledging receipt, or who is able to see ECAS status online?

it seems they stopped processing applications received as of March - or at least may have slowed it down dramatically -

Hello, I will be 732 days (RO) in Canada by July exactly on my landing date, but my family members would be 784 days. I plan to submit my PR renewal application then. Is the 732 days going to work against me or can it delay my renewal process?
My guess is that I am fine RO wise with 732 days, but I will welcome some guidance. Thank you.

Most members of this forum recommend to have a buffer of a couple of months (at least) to avoid increased scrutiny of your application.

While you will technically be in compliance with 732 days, it is definitely inviting IRCC to take a closer look, which may lead to minor or even major delays. And if you do decide to apply with only 732 days, you’d better be 100% sure about your calculation because the tiniest mistake could lead to falling short, which could in turn result in revocation of your PR status as worst case outcome.

What’s is the rush anyways? If you don’t need to travel, there is no need to apply immediately.
