hi everyone, thank you guys for sharing your timeline. They are the ones supporting me during the long wait for PR card. I just wanna post my time schedule FYI. Still waiting for the the card to arrive in mail though.
We received your application for a permanent resident card on September 21, 2018.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on November 22, 2018.
We started processing your application on November 22, 2018.
Your Permanent Resident card was sent by mail on December 5, 2018.
I thought the services will be back to normal, now that the strike has ended. The funny thing is another member, whose ecas shows PR card mailed out on Nov 29th, received his card on Monday.
My timeline: Application delivered 1st Feb. AOR 17th April. Same day status changed to DM. Received email a month later (17th May) saying that my application was put in secondary review. Sent them documents (boarding passes from over sixty trips + passport stamps + CBSA report that I had extracted earlier) proving my presence in Canada. Alongside I requested urgent processing too as I had to travel for work on 30th May. Anyway, I caught my flight because I won't let IRCC compromise my job. Sent followup email before leaving asking if urgent processing was granted. They replied saying the application was flagged for urgent processing. Card delivered to home address in Calgary on 7th June. Asked my dad to mail it to me to Abu Dhabi. Went to the FedEX office just now to pick it up.
It’s been 2 weeks since the card went for production, is it normal???How long should it take more??? I have a trip on 7 February 2019, hopefully I don’t face the same as October applicants whom had production status twice. I live in Brampton anyone living nearby knows how long would it take to receive???once the status is shown as sent out.
