They received my application for PR card renewal on November 10, 2016. Started processing my application on December 1, 2016. Sent me correspondence on December 6, 2016 for having my passport in color copies. I sent them back my passport color copies on December 14, 2016. On February 1, 2017, I sent them this email:
'I had sent you the color copy whole passport as requested from you (on Dec 06 2016) more than 6 weeks ago. According to CanadaPost you received my documentation on December 14, 2016 but you had never replied to that so far (I have proof of signature from your office through CanadaPost. Please let me know the status of my application. Thank you very much.'
On February 21, 2017 they replied my email:
'We verified the information on file and can confirm that your documents were received by the responsible office.
Please note that the processing times provided to you on our website are an approximation. Currently, your file is still in process and there is no maximum timeframe to finalize an application.
If further information is needed, the responsible office may contact you.'
On April 10 it is going to be 5 months since I started, meanwhile my PR is expired and I cannot leave the country for whatever reasons. Do you think is normal to wait so long?
Thank you very much.
