Hi there, is it normal that in my PR portal the status is: "Review with IRCC" but when I login to my CIC account, its says its been approved and they already sent out my PR card?

What happens if it expires when it is in their hands? My husband’s expired in October and we have still not received a new one. Application was sent in August.

not sure, you can call them
i guess as long as you dont travel or change jobs

Mine is also first time renew.
DM and processing start on date 15 Dec. Everything is ok with my file as well as per agent.
Hopefully we will get card mailed in new year first week. Fingers crossed.

yeah i hope, but i guess they probably see mine expires Feb so did not prioritize mine, i am just a little curious and anxious that why mine is still not done since DM was made on Nov 7. and it already passed the processing time (around 130 days)

Hello Everyone,

I applied for my PR card on Online portal on July 31, 2021. Still waiting for my initial PR card, I tried calling and emailing back to the PR portal email, Nothing working out so far,

Applied on - July 31,2021
Address approved - Aug 02,2021
Photo - In review

IRCC saying to wait for the card, I do understand wait time, but it’s been almost 5 months now no update at all, How can I escalate this situation, Already applied for GCMS its been more than 1 month and haven’t received any reply for that as well,

Just confused what to do,

My husband is a permanent resident, I am a Canadian citizen. We just got back from a vacation in Mexico. Since my husband's PR card (received August 6, started processing November 8) had not arrived, we decided to arrange for him to fly from Buffalo and meet us down there. So, he drove to Buffalo, flew to our destination, enjoyed a 2 week holiday and then flew back to Buffalo and just drive home over the Niagara border. His expired card was not an issue, as he presented other documentation proving his Canadian residence status. Unfortunately, that means out exposure to Covid was exponentially higher because of his 2 connecting flights back. But we followed the rules - always do. I'm glad it worked, but disappointed that it's taking SO long to get his card back. (It was a lovely getaway, btw). Anyone wondering about crossing the land border with and expired card, it was absolutely no problem.

You decided not to risk airline flight

Traveled a lot. But I had more than a year of buffer days at the time of applying. ATIP notes also confirm that I meet RO.

One query, how did you request for urgent processing ? Did they ask you reason ? If yes, what reasons considered as urgent processing
