Ordinary copy is fine. Easy on the caps!
Do you remember how long after they received your mail then you can check your application status online? And how long it took for the application from in progress to decision made? They received my package last week Wednesday and up till now I still can't track it. Thanks

I plan to travel back to my country for a wedding in April and comes back in May so I'm trying to see if I can receive my pr before I leave.

Hi. It took around 10-15 days to be acknowledged and approved on the tracker. Then another 15 days to go to "complete" (mailed to me) and a week to receive. Be patient, it will take around 40-50 days total.

Any update on your citizenship app?

so two weeks to be able to check the application status online and two weeks more to get result one one week to receive? Because I'm thinking of booking the travel on March 21. Once booked, I can't cancel, so I'm thinking

Citizenship: no of course. If I have I will update you for sure.

thanks

Recommend booking after status changes. Has your current pr card expired?

Same here , had the test in september and nothing since then and everything else is in progress. December 2021 applicant.
So unfair.

I see people that applied way after me, have gotten a ceremony date! No transparency on what is going on

for me is a deja-vu after waiting 6 years for a hearing. Applying online was a big mistake since on paper are processed faster.

Is it normal if they sent FP request but the tracker hasn't been updated with that information? I saw others who received such request have that FP line in their timeline.

You're well under 12 months. Nothing to worry about yet. 2021 applicants are still waiting. You may have to wait for 8-10 months from the time your security screening started (ask IRCC on phone for the date).
