Receiving the PR card in Canada

[Southboundgirl]

My husband has been approved for his PR to Canada. We applied from outside the country. And he is flying to Canada soon, to land. After that, his PR card is supposed to come in the mail within 2 weeks to indefinite time. For those of you who have received your PR card that way, could you please tell me how the card was delivered? Was it delivered through regular mail? (Canada post), and if so, did you have to show ID at the post office to pick up the package/envelope that the card was in? Or was the package/envelope delivered to the address you provided, and anyone at this address was able/allowed to receive it?

He won't receive the PR card in two weeks. Current processing times are 61 days and then you have to factor in additional time for mailing. So you're looking at around 9-11 weeks.

The PR card is sent through regular mail.

Ok, thanks. And when you say regular mail, you mean that the envelope with the card will just be dropped off in the mailbox address provided? And basically anyone living at that address can receive/pick up the envelope with the card? I'm asking because you know sometimes when receiving a legal document in the mail, sometimes the person receive a "parcel" card to pick up the item, and the item has to then be picked up directly at the post office from a post office agent, and one has to show a piece of ID to receive the package. I hope that makes sense what I'm trying to say?
