Wow, I'm surprised by the speed at which they processed/approved your PR Card application. Most others I've seen (including myself) usually end up waiting at least 2 months for it. Wondering if certain immigration streams etc. are given priority? I thought it went on a first-in-first-out basis.

Hi everyone. Finally got cards for me and spouse. There was an issue with the adress it hasn't been updated at the airport so they sent our cards to our lawyers adress. He received them last week. For my son's card there was no adress related to his application so they were waiting for an adress. I gave them the adress on phone last Wednesday and app got approved 24 hours later. Received son's card yesterday in Montreal. Here is our time line.
Landing montreal airport on November 7th as FSW express entry.
Linked applications on mycic on December 5th.
Ghost update for me and spouse on December 21th.
Approved for me and spouse on December 24th and received at lawyers adress between 7th and 11th of January in Montreal.
Son's application ghost update on 9th january 2019 and approved on the 10th of january. Sons card received on 14th of January 2019 in Montreal. Hope you all get your cards soon.

has this ever happened before? is this normal? I am also in the same boat. I have landed on September 28th and sent in photo resubmission on November 29th. still waiting. 109 days....and counting

 

[MSDhoni]

Nadine same situation here my days are identical. landing on sep 30 and photos resubmitted on 02 dec. they said they are looking at photos received on oct 22. seems govt agencies are slow worldwide

 

[jupiter01]

I am exactly in the same situation too. I landed end of September, I resubmit the second photo request on 29th November and still waiting.
I sent two queries and both of them they respond that they are processing photos from 22 October. It has been more than 100 days, I couldn't receive my card yet and I really don't know when I am able to receive it :-(

Hi Guys,

Need your help,

I landed on 12 Oct and still waiting for PR Card.
I got to know through CSE that Case officer is waiting for new photos and send to Sydney, Nova Scotia but i didn't get any email regarding it.

In Cse response, they mention to include
if available, the letter/email received to that effect, or
an explanation letter

As I don't have any email/letter,Could you please confirm what i need to write in explanation letter

Is there any deadline for submission?

Thanks in advance!

That's only details or anything else.

And is there any deadline for submission?
