PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

[Hansell]

Afternoon everyone!
I sent off my PR card renewal application and it was received in Sydney, NS on June 18th with Canada post tracking.
I’m seeing some people have received their AOR who submitted before and after this date..
Should I be worried I have not heard anything yet?
I’m scheduled to fly back to the UK in mid December to visit my sick grandmother and I’m starting to get a little anxious!

I see a June 14th just received their AOR - Another couple of members on June 21st are still waiting, I'm June 30th and waiting so hopefully you should hear back in a week or so. I wouldn't worry yet

Thank you Hansell!
Its understandable why they are taking so long to renew PR cards but it doesn't help when you don't hear anything from them for months on end!
Thank you for calming my nerves. Hopefully the mid June and late June people will hear something this week!

Hi there, If it helps, my renewal application was received in Sydney on June 17 and I haven't received AOR yet either. I'm getting super anxious as I leave for New Zealand on October 31... I've been following this thread for awhile now and the processing doesn't always seem to follow the order the applications were received... I'm guessing our applications are in the slow pile... hopefully we hear something soon!

I think you should be fine. You should be able to receive it within the next little while

I hope yours arrived before you leave for New Zealand. Whats your game plan if it doesn't arrive?
This is my first card renewal and when I applied the turn around time was around 60 days. I guess everyone wants to travel now! lol
Sending positive vibes your way in hopes your card arrives before you leave!

Thanks BadGamer!! Appreciate you helping put my mind at ease! I used to hang around on these forums a lot when I became a PR.
Just love the community and the hard work knowledge and insight some of the "senior" members can share.

hello
My status changed to DM today:

1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on June 7, 2021.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on September 24, 2021.
3. We started processing your application on September 24, 2021.

Processing took 12 days. My case was a hard one: full of travels and being spouse of a Canadian citizen.

How come they kept your card for 26 days after DM until they finally posted it?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Faiz Dogar]

Why they have not update processing this week?? usually they update on every Tuesday, its still showing last week updated 136 days

 

[Cameron2020]

Does anybody here know if I can ask them to send my card urgently and by express post? Off-course I'll pay for that.

 

[BadGamer6]

Everything finished in 1 day, opened it one day and posted the card the next day!!!!!!!! I can't really find any order in their procedures!!

One day? August 31 to Oct 1 is... 31 days.

I am not sure if you add this service at this stage, you could have sent a prepaid Express Post envelope with your application. Any how you can still try by sending a web form request, you never know !!

Thanks. I tried to call them, but it was impossible.

Not really, I've seen (based on this thread) from DM to Complete ranges from 4 to 60 days - and of course there are longer ones who are selected for in-person pick up. But on average I think it's between 15-25 days before they mail the card out after DM.
