Hello everyone. I am looking for guidance regarding the processing time for our first PR cards.
I submitted the photos and address updates for myself and my family on July 22. We are four people in total. According to IRCC, the normal processing time is 56 days, and the page also mentions “up to six weeks.” From July 22 to today (November 18), it has now been around 16 weeks and more than 150 days.
I contacted IRCC today for the first time. The agent confirmed that my file had not yet been opened, but that everything in the system looked correct: the address was properly recorded, the photos were uploaded without issues, and there were no outstanding actions on my side. The agent said they would notify the Processing Centre.
I have seen comments here and on Reddit suggesting that this internal notification does not always result in immediate movement, but I am hoping that is not the case. If anyone has gone through a similar delay or knows what additional steps, if any, are possible at this stage, I would appreciate your insight. Thank you.
