Just called CIC. It's been more than 7 weeks and I still haven't received it. They said that I should have news by the end of this week, but my card is in the queue (still). So, I guess I'll receive it at the beginning of June (2 months since I landed).

We landed 10th April so just past the 4-6 weeks that we were told,if the cards don't come this week I will give CIC a call on Monday or Tuesday.
I'm not in any rush for the cards as my drivers license is good until next September,I have updated our SIN numbers,and even got given numbers for our kids,also notified Alberta healthcare,employer etc,and won't be taking any holidays as the missus is about 1/2 way through pregnancy lol.

It's meant for everyone. Means that the day they released the data, they were just completing applications from 50 days ago.

ARGH I just have the worse effing luck with CIC. First a 3 week wait to get my passport returned (whilst others are getting it in 1 week) and now a never-ending wait to get PR card. I want to effing travel over summer and this is putting a hold on to everything.

Not sure if this will make you feel better, but I had even worse luck, I waited for my passport for 4 weeks (Christmas holidays), and they sent my CoPR with a mistake, then I waited ANOTHER 4 weeks (poor communication, they first asked for CoPR back, not the passport, then in 2 weeks asked for passport).

Anything considering CIC is a gamble. Sorry :(

Just want to give you guys a heads up -

I landed on April 4th, 2015. So far, its been 55 days and i'm still waiting for my PR card. I just got through to CIC call center today and they told me the card has still not been printed and the delay could go up to June 27th. She said this is the average delay time, which looks like another whole month.

The American staff at Carway at friendlier than the Canadian staff,you might end up waiting for over an hour just to sign the papers,we never got interviewed,but the wait was a pain in the ass with 3 young kids getting bored lol.
