PR Card Renewal & New - 2022 Processing Timeline

[torono24]

For online PR renewal applicants waiting for an update: I called IRCC about my PR renewal application submitted in early April, and they said they are still processing Feb 22 online applications. It's going super slow.

I applied on Feb 28, called their phone line in April, got the application number and was able to attach it to the GCKey account. Never got any AOR emails. There is no progress on the portal so far. When I call, they offer to send me some links on how to apply for a PRTD in a country where I travel, but they don't know PRTD processing times.
Seeing how folks on the forum are complaining about no progress on PRTD for 3 months, that's rather scary.

They also insist that my processing time should count from when it was received in April rather than when I submitted it online in February. Which contradicts the information on the website https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1474&top=3
Not sure how they really count it, and if the website is wrong, or the person on the phone, or both the phone representative, and the people doing processing.

My got returned , saying back of the photo did not contain studio's - "Your photos do not meet the specifications, the back of your photo did not include the studio address "

It was a hand written information , even then they returned it.

Que - I applied in urgent but did not include the flight bookings , can I upload now and again submit in urgent ? off course with updated photo ?

I applied via mail middle of March. I called after waiting an hour on the phone, they were not able to find my application and said that they are processing Feb applications. My only evidence is that i sent it via Fedex, registered and signed for by someone. the agent I spoke with seemed confused on the location that was sent. There are two addresses on the website, one for PO box and one for courrier. I sent it to the Courier address.

I am exactly as yours. Let us be more patient.

I think you can, but you definitely will have to include your flight booking confirmation, otherwise, they will still process as normal.

How long do applications remain in progress? We were able to link application on May 27, then it went in progress the week after but no updates since then.
