If it stays on DM for like 2-3 months, the chance is quite high. Yours is within the normal time right now, no need to panic just yet. Wait for 2-4 more weeks and call IRCC afterwards if it is still in DM.
Sorry, why do you have to send an application for first PR card? Doesn't it get sent to your address within a few months of landing? Or has the process changed?
I'm a CEC inland applicant. Once I got my COPR by email, I was asked to send my photos to the address on the COPR letter.
Good news is on Sep 22, I got a notification on my online account that my application has been approved and the card has been mailed to my address.
Before that, I did not receive any AOR or any update from them. I noticed there was a ghost update around 2 weeks ago. I called yesterday to ask about the status of my application and the rep told me that she can check to see if the office uploaded my photos to the application which was the case on August 30 so that explains the ghost update.
Hopefully everyone waiting receive their card soon.
I sent my PR Card Renewal application by Canada Post around April 20th, received by April 25th (per post tracker). Its been about 5 months today, but the portal still shows status as "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided."
1) Is anyone else in same boat as me - with no update in portal? Does it take so long for them to update AOR application receipt - is this normal?
2) How are you tracking application status - is it based on Client ID or PR Card number?
3) Any thoughts if I should wait for some more time?
Bit more concerned now after seeing the message from @hasbash and @ajitpal001 that they got AOR, with their application receive date being May !!
