Congratulations.

We are still awaiting PR (landed on 20th March). My son followed up again with CIC today and was told " it's under varifcation"
I really don't understand what do they mean by this and why ' varification' in some cases takes so long as almost 110 days have passed since we landed.

It's really very very frustrating.

Wow this "verification" thing really scares the hell out of me.

Does it mean they check everything from the beginning again? Not that I have something to worry about, but they cannot check everything from the beginning again, can they?

I called cic today. I landed on 21st may. She told me she can't see any update and she gonna send an email to processing centre and can get response in 3 month. What the heck. I am travelling for my wedding in Oct. Has any one else had same experience. Also, i have sent email for early processing and attached my flight ticket as well.

when PR card application is under verification it means they have issues with landing docs; they have to get back to the office and immigration officer who did your landing
nobody is questioning your PR status anymore. It's been granted and that's it
the reason why it takes that much is a huge backlog in verification dept
Verification dept is stuck with all other documents that they have to verify from different stages of immigration process
just hold on it's the matter of time
at least we all can travel and come back through land border between Canada and US which is a big bonus for those who havent received their cards yet

Ok so they cannot say oh sorry we gave you PR but now it was under a verification and you are not a PR anymore? I hope it never happened to anyone, cuz if it did, no point if giving you PR status until you receive your card...

dont panic
trust me if they granted you PR status it's legit.
they have been checking your permanent resident application for a year from different perspectives; they performed all different kind of verifications before giving you a PR status.
sooner or later we all receive our plastic cards
i know it's frustrating to hear that your docs are under verification but there's nothing we can do about at.
people who work there - they are humans; they are overloaded with work.
you just landed! so enjoy your PR life and dont think too much! your PR card will come on time!

Hi seniors

I have a question, with regard to PR.

I have landed recently as a permanent resident on 12 July. CBSA officer said now a days PR card usually comes in 7 to 9 months, as per CIC website it says new permanent resident cards processing time 34 calendar days;

Can some please confirm about the time line, thanks very much in advance.

Not "months". Weeks.

The processing time for PR cards has improved recently and the 34 days is probably the right estimate for people who have just landed.

Thanks very much LPS

Thanks, feeling a bit relieved after reading your comments. Would a " SOLEMN DECLARATION" be helpful in this situation ?
