Hi Guys,

Is it possible to change mailing address for first PR card (if it has not yet)?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can. Unfortunately there are a lot of reports of PR cards being sent to the previous address.

Do I need to visit any office?
Could you please explain it more since I have no information on this?

6th of March the AOR says. I am keen to hear from people who have had their AOR for a renewal and then get the card in their hand! I wonder how long this next part will take? I will keep the forum informed.

Any update on status...you are lucky as today CIC updated processing timeline to 161 days

I am yet to apply for my PR renewal which is expiring in 13th February of 2021.

Interesting thing is - my Indian passport is expiring on 14th of February 2021. My question is - To get my PR renewed for next 5 years, will the immigration require that I need to have a NEW Indian passport with the expiry date greater than 14th February 2021?

PR issued: November 2015

PS: I have submitted my Canadian Citizenship application in August 2020, but the processing time of that will be ~ 12 months. If I apply for a NEW Indian passport, will that affect my current Citizenship application (As it will have old Passport info on the application)?

One thing I noticed is that CIC is just increasing the number of days every week....

It is beyond understanding .. How they landed 299 and then 134 and now 160....

I think they are trying to increase processing times in small steps to avoid all the complaints that happened when they listed 299 days.
They really did not reduce the listed processing times except shortly after some negative news stories got out

With more time passing, it seems that most people are adapting to the current situation and getting back to work.
However, IRCC seems to be the exception with processing times going from bad to worse.
Sometimes I wonder if they are doing any work at all, everything is almost frozen from PR renewal to citizenship application to sponsorship, etc.

I don't believe the two are linked like that. I changed my passport since I got my first PR card and it was not an issue.

Nothing yet but I see a member on this forum on another thread has had an ECAS update. They applied on March 5th and it is saying that their card has been posted on August 10......
I will update as soon as I have news - I still can't link my application online...!

Thanks for the reply, this is great. I will apply for my PR renewal then, I was only worried as for some reason the expiry on my PR card was a day before my Passport's expiry so I thought there was a connection.

Good luck. It is good to post these things so others can learn.

Does anyone know what does this mean, or does anyone have the same updates? also can't find my application using gckey((( thanks

Use your application no. to link, I remember you received the AOR already, right?

Hi. I don't think I received an application number! I did get my AOR (July 30th). No card yet......
