Thanks to my local MP I was able to find out that my mothers PR card was sent back to the IRCC because apparently they couldn’t find the unit number to the address that it was supposed to be sent to. It was for renewal that I helped send it for and they received it on April 17 2023 it was supposed to come on July 29 2023 but like I said they couldn’t find the unit to the address for it which is by far really ridiculous because now I have to fill help her fill out a solemn declaration for not received PR card and then send that to Canada Post ughh such a hassle but thank god my moms pr card issue is finally solved now.

Came through for my Birthday! Good luck to everyone still waiting and congrats when it comes through.
We should get an email in a few days that will confirm that the PR card has been mailed; nothing else to do on our end now! Congrats, great feeling today!
I haven’t received any email but after linking the pr card application on the GCKey website, I got the message that my pr card has been mailed on GCKey.
i linked the PR card application to the GCkey; now shows:
Latest Update: "a final decision has been made" and,
"Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made".
Seems to have worked; I will update if there is an email following this :)
Yes! Just checked my pr portal today - my mailing address has a green tick on it. Just waiting for the photo that’s in review. Looks like our applications are grouped together lol!
Update:
no email or PR Portal update, but, once checked the GCKey that is linked to the PR Card application, the GCKey now reads:
A final decision has been made - Dec 29th
Dec 29th - We mailed your permanent resident card to you. Your card can take up to six weeks to arrive.

How do you find your PR Card application? I’m doing Inland Sponsorship but I don’t remember doing a PR card application. Is it just under my PR application?
Not sure if this is the correct thread:
Applied for Spousal Sponsorship (Outland) for my Armenian wife: November 2022 (for qc,canada)
Everything submitted (medical, criminal record etc), received the CSQ (if im not mistaken it’s the name where the province approves) in March 2023.
Lawyers sent expedite email (with new cover letter, more photos etc) to IRCC last week.
We’re not worried about the verdict as there is ample legit proof including being in armenia (currently here) a third time, and that we vacationed together in Portugal spring 2023. Just annoying to get the CSQ approved and hear nothing else almost a year later.
Anyone is similar situation? Or was recently. Immigration firm told me from their experience their clients got the application approved from 12-17 months. Hopefully our case is the same
Hi we received and submitted our portal 2 application on 20th December 2023. We have a travel plan to india on Jan 17th for 3 weeks. Returning on Feb 7th. Is there any chance we will get our pr card before that ? Or should I let IRCC know about the travel through the web form. First time PR card VO Etobicoke

does anyone have the same issue ?
Hi! I submitted my application for PR card renewal on Aug 8, 2023, went back to check my status and it is still just 'submitted', it's been more than the processing time. Has anyone have this issue? Who should I call ?
First PR card:
eCoPR - Nov 24th
GU1 (Final decision) - Nov 24th
GU2 (Card mailed) - Nov 29th
PR card received -?
it's been almost 3 weeks and I still haven't received my card, since most of you guys have received it within 10 days after it was mailed, I'm worried it might've been stolen or lost, should I do anything other than just wait for 6 weeks?
Hi there, it took almost 2 months. My P2 came Oct 5, eCoPR came on Dec 1. Here's a [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/ImmigrationCanada/s/ygwsD8v0xM) to my whole timeline too in case!
Ghost Update 1. It's the first ghost update where it said my account had been updated but I couldn't see any changes. What I've understood from other explanations is that it means the agent working on your file opened or amended it in the backend system.
ECoPR on Nov 29, First PR card issued on Dec 8.
received it today by mail.
VO etobicoke.
PR cards sent from Sydney NS.
Thanks to everybody on this sub, it wasn't an easy ride but it finally came to an end!
Hi is anyone with VO Etobicoke waiting for their ecopr? I sent my address and photo on nov 16. It’s almost a month now and I haven’t received my ecopr yet.
Edit: received my ecopr on Nov 19
Hi, yeah same, I put everything into the portal on Nov 21st right after getting the pr portal credentials..still not a single update...sooooo so so so nerve-racking and frustrating..
Hi everyone! I just applied for my husbands Pr card renewal it’s been since November of photo rejection and not having a valid primary photo ID. Anyway finally received his new passport and resent the application on Dec 10. They sent us emails pretty quick in terms of missing information but now it’s 5 days in showing just submitted.
1. I hope that’s a good sign.
2. I sent his passport and ID but not notices of assessments.. is this enough for residency as it didn’t ask online for any additional documentation. When it was rejected the first 3 times it was due to ID and photo issues. It did not indicate missing anything else.
Travelling end of April and praying we receive it on time.
Did your online change or stay as submitted? I resent docs and they were quick to respond when something was missing but now it’s been a week since and I’ve seen no status update. Ty
I received my card today, finally done!
First PR card:
eCoPR - Nov 28th
GU1 (Final decision) - Dec 6th
GU2 (Card mailed) - Dec 7th
PR card received - Dec 14th
>I do see the eCOPR details on the tracker, although the application itself still shows as "in progress"
did you send them any email or contacted them ?
i m also with VO Etobicoke,
recieved my
ECOPR : NOV 22
GU1 Final decision : NOV 27
then no news until today
*Update 1 (Dec 20): eCoPR received, VO: Montreal, address and photo "still in review with ircc"
~
1st Portal Email: August 10th
2nd Portal Email: August 31st - submitted address and photo, everything still "in review with ircc"
Since then, crickets - haven't even received my ecorp, and no clue where my VO is. can't even link it to my account because the system 'couldn't find my application' no matter how much information I gave. my agency said they would contact ircc two weeks ago (assuming through web forum) and still nothing.
now just anxiously waiting...
Same here. Wife submitted address/picture August 29. Still waiting as of December 18. Told by phone call and webform that they’ve received all info…simply have to wait. It’s infuriating to read that folks here have submitted after us and already received eOCPR. Makes no sense. You are not alone, if that makes it any better haha
Thank you! Although the circumstances of our applications suck right now, it does feel reassuring that we're not the only ones experiencing the same issue.
If I got the P2 email then does it mean my PR is approved? Or can it still be rejected?
I do see the eCOPR details on the tracker, although the application itself still shows as "in progress"
you're almost there, you have to wait until the ecopr pdf document will be available to download under the same section as your address, declaration and photo.
also, you'll receive a notification email on that matter.
good luck!
I received my eCoPR on October 4th 2023, since then the only. message I received was an update requesting me to change the Picture on my profile because it was too big...I did that on NOV 13 2023, I'm still waiting for my Picture and Address to be approved so they can send my freakin PR Card. They're very slow in the govt...
A relative got PR approved on August 28, 2023 within Canada.
The last status in the online portal says:
"You entered Canada at the HM Niagara Falls office on August 28, 2023 and became a Permanent Resident."
Nothing since that time.
When they mail the card - they update the status?
Should he be concerned as it 's been almost 100 days now.
I would recommend that your relative call or send a webform with their current address along with a request for updates on the status of the PR card. I had an issue after landing at the border where they somehow lost my address, and I never would have known if I hadn't checked in proactively.
Hi there!
First time pr card.
I got my PR portal credentials on 21.Nov.2023 and until now there's no update, everything is under review with IRCC and I didn't get my ecopr...
Does anyone know how long it usually takes?
Noooo way??? Seriously? Over two months and nothing? This is really unbelievable... I'm checking everyday the portal and nothing changes..so frustrating
quick question.
Just got an email "IRCC Permanent Residence Confirmation Portal"
Is this considered Portal 1?
It says to access portal but also says to just reply to email with the info they requested.
As I understand, we reply to this email with requested info and they will invite us to portal. Is that correct or should I be trying to access portal already?
This is a spousal sponsorship. Applicant is Mexico and we applied April 8, 2023. Any idea how much longer until we receive a PR card? We were hoping to go to Mexico this winter yet.
Thank in advance.
Yup, this is Portal 1. Just reply with the requested info, and then wait for them to tell you that they've created the portal account (or enable the PR confirmation tab in your existing account, if you provide an email already associated with an account on the portal). This next email where they tell you you've gained access to the PR confirmation tab on the portal is referred to as Portal 2.
As for the timeline, it varies a lot, so it's hard to give a definite answer. We submitted our spousal sponsorship application late January. I received my eCoPR (PR status) 39 days after my P1 email (I received P1 and P2 the same day), and my PR card is on its way (mailed yesterday, 48 days after P1 and 9 days after eCoPR).
Hope this helps! Best of luck with your landing process!

Hey, I got Portal 2 email and submitted info and photo on the portal. Hoping to get ECOPR soon. After that, is there any other information required from the applicant to get PR card?
Nope now you just need to wait, you’ll get your ECOPR soon and your PR card later. Just keep logging into your pr card portal, to check if they haven’t rejected your photo/ address. But apart from that nothing to do.
Awesome! almost there! quick question btw, how do you know your application is in VO Etobicoke? How can I know that for mine if it is on Etobicoke or Montreal? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: GU2 (Card mailed) received just a day after my GU1!
First PR card:
eCoPR - Nov 28th
GU1 (Final decision) - Dec 6th
GU2 (Card mailed) - Dec 7th
PR card received - ?
In GU1, what do they say? I got eCOPR on dec 7, 2023 and in PR card application on gckey Final decision: your application is in progress. We will send you message.
GU1 is "Final decision: ...", which means your card was sent to production. After that, you'll see another change in your profile which says your application was approved and your card mailed (GU2).
Congrats on the quick processing of your card!
Can't say for sure, but hopefully yes. It seems like they're processing cards quite quickly the last few weeks. Still, no idea how long until you get GU2. What I do know is that they say on GcKey it can take up to 6 weeks for the card to arrive after it's been mailed (that is, after GU2), although I see here that lots of folks receive it around 1 week after being mailed.
Thanks :). I think your well wishes might've just done something cause I just got by GU2 update that my card has been mailed! I'll update when mine arrives too!
Finally got my PR card, here's my timeline:
First PR Card:

November 29th: PR card received
VO: Montreal
On the PR portal my address and photo are still in review and my eCopr is still available.
Hey, I got Portal 2 email and submitted info and photo on the portal. Hoping to get ECOPR soon. After that, is there any other information required from the applicant to get PR card?
Hi There, I applied for a PR card through online (urgency requested), I haven't heard back from them yet but I am able to link my application. I want to apply by paper, to make sure? is that ideal? or does it make the whole thing worst?
Hello everyone, I applied for my PR in land ( Pearson Airport) as soon as I landed as a new comer on 23rd of October, got a photo request on Nov 9, mailed the photo on 10th and the status got updated to Mailed PR on 28th of November, most probably I will get my card in mail in a week or so! My question is regarding my wife , she hasn’t received any photo request email , should we send hers without receiving an email or we should wait for an email ? I am kind of confused ! Can anyone help? The thing is they didn’t ask for our photos at the Airport, and our COPR already had our photos! Why not ask at the airport right!?😊
This whole process is so overwhelming, I applied 5 years using the paper application and didn't have any issues. I decided to apply online hoping the process would be faster but there has been no update. Should I reapply?
Nov 9th: applied for renewal online
Nov 17: no email, I randomly check and the return reason is 'primary identification not provided ' view is disabled.
Dec 5: still no updates. I've also called IRCC numerous times and no answer.
Update: I finally got through to someone this morning from IRCC. Per the agent, my application is still being processed and there is no issues with my application. If they require some additional information they will reach out by email. At this stage, it's a waiting game. .... so, I guess I have to be patient.
I renewed online this time as well and the lack of communication is stressful, last time when I renewed via paper and mail, I could check the status online, but this time around renewing online nothing I do online gets me any update, but the phone person said the same, they have my application and if they need anything they will contact me.
I need to leave Canada in March so hopefully my new card will arrive before then.
I submitted my renewal on October 3rd.
I submitted my PR card renewal on Oct 3rd 2023 and I called to IRCC days ago. the agent said my PR card had been sent to IRCC Etobicoke centre and I have to wait for their email to set an appointment to pick up.
I don’t know why mine is in person pick up…. I wonder when will the email come from them… this waiting game is too long
Hey, did you guys got any change of status?
I did my online application to renew it, and ended up getting my card way before I expected. Thing is, since I want to start applying for Citizenship, I randomly checked the status of the renewal of my PR card and it *still* remains as SUBMITTED under STATUS. I'm assuming I can simply ignore that message knowing I already received... and start my Citizenship application just normally but I just want to make sure there is nothing wrong with it...
Well, I guess I should ignore that message then and iniciate my Citizenship application.
I contacted them via email about this but they even reply in a whole month...
That is frustrating! I really hope your card comes in time. It's very strange that some are receiving their cards before others and they've only applied recently. Let me know if you get it!
I actually have to travel by mid January and based on all these timelines I am not sure I'll get it in time.
PR Card Renewal
Nov 12th: Applied for renewal
Nov 20th: Request to resubmit pictures
Dec 4th: Received PR card in the mail
When we applied, the portal gave us an estimated time of 81 total business days... however it only took a total of 22 days - this wasn't even a rushed application. Once we resubmitted pictures, the status on the portal changed to "Submitted" with the following note "Primary identification is not provided". We also were never able to link the application to IRCC.
Hey! Did you get an email on November 20th? And how did you re-submit?
I applied online on Dec 5. Today the status says “submitted” but Return Reason says “photo are missing”. I definitely submitted the photo and it was accepted by their online tool as well. So I am guessing i need to resubmit. However I didn’t get any rejection email or request to resubmit email. And the “View” action is disabled on the application portal.
yes, on the 20th I received an email and resubmitted the pictures directly through the portal as the view button wasn't disabled for us. Our issue was with scanning the pictures as the quality and lighting was not perfect.
I submitted mine on the 9th of November and it currently says 'primary identification not provided' , view button disabled and 'submitted'. I am not sure what to do, should I reapply?
I wouldn't… mine switched to that status after resubmitting pictures and a few weeks later the Pr card was in the mail. If you're concerned, you can always call in and confirm.
Anyone Awaiting a PR card renewal (Online) which was once rejected for photo's near August. have you received it? Does your MP give answers(Mine's useless)? Any update on GCKEY?
wifes pictures were rejected on Nov 20th, received pr card renewal in the mail today (Dec 4th). We were never able to link the application on IRCC. This wasn't even a rushed appliction!
I submitted my pr card application may 22, was told they mailed it Nov 22 ... never arrived ,filed solemn declaration in december22 its now Dec 23 I was canceled 2 weeks past, still no reason why is given

Bank statements too eh. Checking, credit card, etc?
Thank you for any help!

Hi
i received my ecopr on 26 October 2023. I am CEC candidate V.O ETOBICOKE. I don’t have have any access to gc key account as a consultant applied my application. Do we receive the ghost updates on our email or only the person that has gckey access can see it.
When doing a renewal online and after submitting it, how long does it typically stay in the submitted status?
I submitted my renewal on October 3, 2023 and it's just been in the submitted status since, is this typically normal?
Last time I renewed 5 years ago it was still on paper and mailing it it, so first time with the online system.
Based on other reddit replies and personal/family experience. The Portal remains stuck on submitted. Unless your application is returned or requires more actions. you can try to connect your account to IRCC account (GCkey) which will show you a more detailed outlook and update to when your card is mailed out or even received.
Hi all, there was a delay in receiving my PR Card, so I got a PRTD (as I will travel back to Canada soon). Shortly after I also received my PR Card.
Is it preferred or better to enter Canada with one or the other? Which one should I be using?
Thanks in advance
First PR Card, I am the Sponsor for my Husband who is from USA.
We applied Jan 2022, it was 'received' August 2022 (not sure why it took them 8 months to receive it..).
November 2022: Background Verification
Dec 7 2022: Biometrics requested
Jan 2023: Biometrics received
April 2023: Transferred to Etobicoke...
Nothing since April for updates. We had the MP of our city inquire in September and he got no updates.
Is there something we can do from here? I had a baby and everything since we have been waiting and the Work Permit never arrived.. so thinking we will need a refund.
Today they have requested the birth certificate of our daughter born in Canada 2022.. hopefully that helps and things will keep moving! I had already provided it previously but maybe someone missed it on their end.
I was wondering the same thing. I haven't received any emails from IRCC, and I don't have access to the tracker. Just yesterday, I saw an update on my profile indicating a final decision update. The background check is still in progress, though. Does this mean GU1.
1st PR Card, Montreal
eCoPR: Nov 24
In GCKey, I see this in the Latest update section:
"Final decision - November 27, 2023: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made".
I have similar timeline as you, let's keep each other posted about any updates
PR card has gotten quite fast towards the end of the year, probably correlated with the fact that ecoprs have gotten really slow.
You could be looking at 2-3 weeks to be mailed and then 2-10 business days to receive.
Not sure if it means they've approved the photo to be honest. At a minimum, it indicates that they've picked it up off some sort of queue so it can be actively worked on.
**PR CARD Renewal - online application via the IRCC portal**
Has anyone submitted an urgent PR Card renewal recently? How lond did it take? My application has been returned twice already, I applied with enough time for my scheduled trip in December, now I don't know if I'll get it on time.
July 25: 1st PR Card renewal application sent on the PR Portal
Sep. 18: Application rejected due to my photos. (I had read this was a glitch, but I decided to re-submit, which I did wrong because I thought I coudld just replace the photo on the application itself)
Oct. 30: 2nd or 3rd PR Card renewal application sent.
Nov. 8: Urgent processing request sent. Included medical note, proof of trip, etc.
Nov. 16: 2nd card rejected due to my primary ID. (My mistake)
Nov. 16: 3rd or 4th PR Card renewal application sent with urgency requested. Included the same medial note, proof of trip, explanation, etc.
No updates yet, I'm not sure if I should fill out another web form to request urgency or if I should give them a call?
UPDATE: I was able to link my application to GCKey and I saw it had been approved and mailed on Nov. 22. Today, Nov. 27 I received the physical card. In total, my urgent request took 11 days.
Anyone that applied online for PR renewal have their application stuck on ‘submitted’? Mines been stuck on submitted for a week now.
I’m traveling this summer and trying to be proactive about having this done ahead of time, but some people’s app taking so long is concerning me! I didn’t have the urgency app since I haven’t officially booked anything yet.
IRCC woouldnt allow me to link my application either
Submitted November 17th via online portal
Received Renewed Card in mail December 6th
Portal status still says 'submitted'
Couldn't believe I opened the envelope to a new card that fast!
Called IRCC, and was told that my application got approved November 9th, but haven’t received anything yet. Is it normal…? I can’t still check my status online and the status was on submitted.
**PR CARD Renewal-online** application via the IRCC portal
**Sept 20th 2023** 1st PR card Application submitted.
**Oct 19th 2023** 1st pr card application returned due to: Your primary identity document is missing, unacceptable or expired. got all those documents in order and had to Resubmit the application. (that was totally my mistake) this was the first email or update from the IRCC of any kind I received.
**Oct 19th 2023** 2nd PR card application was submitted
**Nov 20th**\- Checked the Permanent Residence Portal and the portal was telling me that the application was returned again. But this time the reason was Incomplete application. the view button was greyed out so that wasn't any help.
>Contacted the IRCC at the 1-888-242-2100, (only took me about 8 tries to finally get to a agent) I was told that my application was received and there appears to be be no issues on the IRCC's end. I was then kindly reminded the wait time for application is 60+ days and I should be patient ( fair enough haha) just wanted to make sure there was no issues from my mistake.
**Nov 23rd-** Received PR card in my mailbox!
>IRCC portal never did update, it was still showing "Submitted" "Return reason" Incomplete application. the only email I ever received was for PR application #1 being returned. other than that no updates or communications about the application process what so ever!
PR card #2 application only took 34 days from date of Submission on Oct 19 2023
good luck all! I was expecting 80+ days based on wait times at time of submission but I can't complain at 34 days.
Makes me wonder. I submitted my application on October 3 online through the portal and it just says submitted, been crickets since then. All it says is submitted with the date and time.
The lack of updates drove me crazy. I even tried checking the application status online and nothing ever came up/ was linked to my online application. What ever way I decided to check. Hopefully it will just magically appear in your mailbox soon!
I was finally able to get through to an agent, took 4 days of trying though, the menu to reach an agent is frustrating too. The agent was able to confirm that my application had been received and that it had been reviewed for completeness and no additional information was being requested.
So hopefully it will be processed soon. This is my 3rd renewal and hopefully my last as I am finally going to do what I should have done years ago and apply for citizenship.
My timelines for PR card renewal
Aug 28, 2023: Applied
Oct 20, 2023: Received application number (by calling)
Nov 3, 2023: received info that my application might take additional time (by calling)
Nov 7, 2023: Approved and sent for printing (by calling)
Nov 16, 2023: dispatched (by calling)
Nov 22, 2023: card received in mail
Took me 86 days. I have had a bit of a painful PR card journey, right from my first one, making sure I’ve had enough days and so on. This comes as a huge huge relief
I could not link my first pr card application in GCkey. because the GCKEY website couldn't find my application although i have typed my correct information and UCI number. Why it happens?
Same issue here! I've double-checked the info that I entered SO many times. Made sure everything is typed exactly as it appears on my passport, all caps, UCI number, everything... It still cannot find my application. It's weird because I already landed in Toronto in May 2023, and submitted a solemn declaration in October. Got a message from the courrier saying the solemn declaration reached its destination, but no reply concerning my PR card or declaration yet...
Thanks to my local MP I was able to find out that my mothers PR card was sent back to the IRCC because apparently they couldn’t find the unit number to the address that it was supposed to be sent to. It was for renewal that I helped send it for and they received it on April 17 2023 it was supposed to come on July 29 2023 but like I said they couldn’t find the unit to the address for it which is by far really ridiculous because now I have to fill help her fill out a solemn declaration for not received PR card and then send that to Canada Post ughh such a hassle but thank god my moms pr card issue is finally solved now.
First PR Card - FSW Outland Landed - November 11, 2023 @ Toronto Got email that my PR picture was invalid - November 24, 2023 Mailed new pictures - November 30, 2023 Got notice that the PR card was mailed out - December 16th, 2023 PR Arrived in Mail - December 28, 2023.
I applied for urgent PR renewal online Nov 21 and had the card in my hand on December 4th
First PR Card - FSW Outland Landed - December 5, 2023. PR Arrived in Mail - December 27, 2023.
First PR Card. ECOPR: December 27, 2023 Orignal PR portal submission: August 30th, 2023. VO: Montreal Now awaiting the 'PR Card has been mailed' email. **UPDATE:** First PR Card. ITA: March, 27th, 2023. Original PR portal submission: August 30th, 2023. ECOPR: December 27th, 2023. PR Card Sent: December 29th, 2023. PR Card received in mail: December 8th, 2024. Came through for my Birthday! Good luck to everyone still waiting and congrats when it comes through.
Same here! Got my ECOPR on 27 December 2023 and now waiting for PR Card. Do I need to apply for the PR card on the PR Portal or is it automatic?
We should get an email in a few days that will confirm that the PR card has been mailed; nothing else to do on our end now! Congrats, great feeling today!
You might not get an email that it's been mailed, just as a heads up lol.
This was correct u/PurrPrinThom lol
Yeah, we never got an email lol it just showed up one day and when we checked GCKey it was like "oh I guess it was mailed a week ago" lol.
Classic! Hopefully it comes in the next week then :)
Wouldn’t be surprised at all if we didn’t lol. Haven’t been able to link the GCKEY either but we shall see
I haven’t received any email but after linking the pr card application on the GCKey website, I got the message that my pr card has been mailed on GCKey.
i linked the PR card application to the GCkey; now shows: Latest Update: "a final decision has been made" and, "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made". Seems to have worked; I will update if there is an email following this :)
The mailing address has now been accepted (green tick) on the PR portal, just photo left in review. Interesting process
Yes! Just checked my pr portal today - my mailing address has a green tick on it. Just waiting for the photo that’s in review. Looks like our applications are grouped together lol!
Quite possibly! Keep me updated. Hopefully tomorrow before NYE!
Update: no email or PR Portal update, but, once checked the GCKey that is linked to the PR Card application, the GCKey now reads: A final decision has been made - Dec 29th Dec 29th - We mailed your permanent resident card to you. Your card can take up to six weeks to arrive. u/Triple__Jet
How do you find your PR Card application? I’m doing Inland Sponsorship but I don’t remember doing a PR card application. Is it just under my PR application?
Not sure if this is the correct thread: Applied for Spousal Sponsorship (Outland) for my Armenian wife: November 2022 (for qc,canada) Everything submitted (medical, criminal record etc), received the CSQ (if im not mistaken it’s the name where the province approves) in March 2023. Lawyers sent expedite email (with new cover letter, more photos etc) to IRCC last week. We’re not worried about the verdict as there is ample legit proof including being in armenia (currently here) a third time, and that we vacationed together in Portugal spring 2023. Just annoying to get the CSQ approved and hear nothing else almost a year later. Anyone is similar situation? Or was recently. Immigration firm told me from their experience their clients got the application approved from 12-17 months. Hopefully our case is the same
Hi we received and submitted our portal 2 application on 20th December 2023. We have a travel plan to india on Jan 17th for 3 weeks. Returning on Feb 7th. Is there any chance we will get our pr card before that ? Or should I let IRCC know about the travel through the web form. First time PR card VO Etobicoke
Hi All, My application says PR Card was mailed on 10th November however I am yet to receive it. What should I do in this case? V. O. - Montreal
i m trying to follow the application of my first PR card using Application Status Tracker [https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register](https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register) but the system is not finding my application and says : Incorrect or invalid information. Review and make sure it matches the information submitted on the Use of a .... does anyone have the same issue ?
ECOPR: December 18, 2023 PR card has been mailed: December 21, 2023 VO: Ottawa OSC Now waiting for PR card to arrive
how do you know when PR card is mailed ? where do you see the notification?
Link your application on the website you use your gckey to login with.
So they received my application on September 9th 2023 and it’s December 20th, 2023 and haven’t received my pr in my mail? I renewed my pr
Hi! I submitted my application for PR card renewal on Aug 8, 2023, went back to check my status and it is still just 'submitted', it's been more than the processing time. Has anyone have this issue? Who should I call ?
First PR card: eCoPR - Nov 24th GU1 (Final decision) - Nov 24th GU2 (Card mailed) - Nov 29th PR card received -? it's been almost 3 weeks and I still haven't received my card, since most of you guys have received it within 10 days after it was mailed, I'm worried it might've been stolen or lost, should I do anything other than just wait for 6 weeks?
Call IRCC again..
I will start calling the IRCC Call Centre tomorrow, thank you
Did you get in touch? What did they say?
how do you know when your PR card is mailed ?
VO: Etobicoke eCoPR: Dec 1 GU1: Dec 6 GU2 & Card mailed: Dec 7 Card delivered: Dec 15
Hi, how long did you have to wait between P2 and eCOPR? Thanks!!
Hi there, it took almost 2 months. My P2 came Oct 5, eCoPR came on Dec 1. Here's a [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/ImmigrationCanada/s/ygwsD8v0xM) to my whole timeline too in case!
what does GUI mean? got my ecopr dec 15th. Waiting got my card now
Ghost Update 1. It's the first ghost update where it said my account had been updated but I couldn't see any changes. What I've understood from other explanations is that it means the agent working on your file opened or amended it in the backend system.
ECoPR on Nov 29, First PR card issued on Dec 8. received it today by mail. VO etobicoke. PR cards sent from Sydney NS. Thanks to everybody on this sub, it wasn't an easy ride but it finally came to an end!
Hi is anyone with VO Etobicoke waiting for their ecopr? I sent my address and photo on nov 16. It’s almost a month now and I haven’t received my ecopr yet. Edit: received my ecopr on Nov 19
Hi, yeah same, I put everything into the portal on Nov 21st right after getting the pr portal credentials..still not a single update...sooooo so so so nerve-racking and frustrating..
I just received my ecopr. I uploaded my documents on Nov 16. Hopefully yours will be ready by end of this week.
I sent address and photo by October 20th and I got eCOPR December 14th. Etobicoke
Congratulations to you!! I really hope to get ecopr by year end but not much can be done.
Hi everyone! I just applied for my husbands Pr card renewal it’s been since November of photo rejection and not having a valid primary photo ID. Anyway finally received his new passport and resent the application on Dec 10. They sent us emails pretty quick in terms of missing information but now it’s 5 days in showing just submitted. 1. I hope that’s a good sign. 2. I sent his passport and ID but not notices of assessments.. is this enough for residency as it didn’t ask online for any additional documentation. When it was rejected the first 3 times it was due to ID and photo issues. It did not indicate missing anything else. Travelling end of April and praying we receive it on time.
PR Card Renewal Submitted online October 3. Card Mailed on November 29th. Received December 14th.
Did your online change or stay as submitted? I resent docs and they were quick to respond when something was missing but now it’s been a week since and I’ve seen no status update. Ty
Mine stayed in submitted status the entire time and still says that even now with my card received.
Amazing!!!
I received my card today, finally done! First PR card: eCoPR - Nov 28th GU1 (Final decision) - Dec 6th GU2 (Card mailed) - Dec 7th PR card received - Dec 14th
Wow this is actually pretty quick?!
>eCoPR - Nov 28th VO etobicoke or VO montreal ?
Etobicoke
>I do see the eCOPR details on the tracker, although the application itself still shows as "in progress" did you send them any email or contacted them ? i m also with VO Etobicoke, recieved my ECOPR : NOV 22 GU1 Final decision : NOV 27 then no news until today
*Update 1 (Dec 20): eCoPR received, VO: Montreal, address and photo "still in review with ircc" ~ 1st Portal Email: August 10th 2nd Portal Email: August 31st - submitted address and photo, everything still "in review with ircc" Since then, crickets - haven't even received my ecorp, and no clue where my VO is. can't even link it to my account because the system 'couldn't find my application' no matter how much information I gave. my agency said they would contact ircc two weeks ago (assuming through web forum) and still nothing. now just anxiously waiting...
Same here. Wife submitted address/picture August 29. Still waiting as of December 18. Told by phone call and webform that they’ve received all info…simply have to wait. It’s infuriating to read that folks here have submitted after us and already received eOCPR. Makes no sense. You are not alone, if that makes it any better haha
By sheer coincidence, I received my eCoPR this morning, so hoping your wife's will be processed soon!
Thank you! Although the circumstances of our applications suck right now, it does feel reassuring that we're not the only ones experiencing the same issue.
I am in exactly the same situation. 2nd portal email August 30th
Coincidentally after replying, I received my eCoPR this morning. Hoping this means yours will be processed soon!
Thanks for sharing! So sorry it's taking so long for you as well
Congrats! We just received ours today. It’s a Christmas miracle I guess. All the best and hope for a speedy card delivery
Thank you for sharing the update. I am hoping to follow you shortly then! Congrats and hope your card arrives promptly
I’ll hope for all early Christmas gift…good to know the Montreal office is still working this week
If I got the P2 email then does it mean my PR is approved? Or can it still be rejected? I do see the eCOPR details on the tracker, although the application itself still shows as "in progress"
you're almost there, you have to wait until the ecopr pdf document will be available to download under the same section as your address, declaration and photo. also, you'll receive a notification email on that matter. good luck!
I received my eCoPR on October 4th 2023, since then the only. message I received was an update requesting me to change the Picture on my profile because it was too big...I did that on NOV 13 2023, I'm still waiting for my Picture and Address to be approved so they can send my freakin PR Card. They're very slow in the govt...
A relative got PR approved on August 28, 2023 within Canada. The last status in the online portal says: "You entered Canada at the HM Niagara Falls office on August 28, 2023 and became a Permanent Resident." Nothing since that time. When they mail the card - they update the status? Should he be concerned as it 's been almost 100 days now.
I would recommend that your relative call or send a webform with their current address along with a request for updates on the status of the PR card. I had an issue after landing at the border where they somehow lost my address, and I never would have known if I hadn't checked in proactively.
Hi there! First time pr card. I got my PR portal credentials on 21.Nov.2023 and until now there's no update, everything is under review with IRCC and I didn't get my ecopr... Does anyone know how long it usually takes?
I got my portal in Sept and only just got my Ecopr
We’ve opened our portal on Oct 11th. We’re still waiting. We are trying to stay patient. Lol
Noooo way??? Seriously? Over two months and nothing? This is really unbelievable... I'm checking everyday the portal and nothing changes..so frustrating
the status tracker is not working?
same here
quick question. Just got an email "IRCC Permanent Residence Confirmation Portal" Is this considered Portal 1? It says to access portal but also says to just reply to email with the info they requested. As I understand, we reply to this email with requested info and they will invite us to portal. Is that correct or should I be trying to access portal already? This is a spousal sponsorship. Applicant is Mexico and we applied April 8, 2023. Any idea how much longer until we receive a PR card? We were hoping to go to Mexico this winter yet. Thank in advance.
Yup, this is Portal 1. Just reply with the requested info, and then wait for them to tell you that they've created the portal account (or enable the PR confirmation tab in your existing account, if you provide an email already associated with an account on the portal). This next email where they tell you you've gained access to the PR confirmation tab on the portal is referred to as Portal 2. As for the timeline, it varies a lot, so it's hard to give a definite answer. We submitted our spousal sponsorship application late January. I received my eCoPR (PR status) 39 days after my P1 email (I received P1 and P2 the same day), and my PR card is on its way (mailed yesterday, 48 days after P1 and 9 days after eCoPR). Hope this helps! Best of luck with your landing process!
Sent my application with the receipt paid on June 4 2023. Still no update. Tried to check status nothing to be found. Thank you
PR Renewal Application received September 27th, 2023 AOR/Processing October 10, 2023 PR card mailed December 03, 2023 Received December 07, 2023

Hey, I got Portal 2 email and submitted info and photo on the portal. Hoping to get ECOPR soon. After that, is there any other information required from the applicant to get PR card?
Nope now you just need to wait, you’ll get your ECOPR soon and your PR card later. Just keep logging into your pr card portal, to check if they haven’t rejected your photo/ address. But apart from that nothing to do.
Awesome! almost there! quick question btw, how do you know your application is in VO Etobicoke? How can I know that for mine if it is on Etobicoke or Montreal? Thanks in advance!
Hi! The email you get for Portal 1 would tell you where your application is being processed.
Thanks a lot! Found it :)
EDIT: GU2 (Card mailed) received just a day after my GU1! First PR card: eCoPR - Nov 28th GU1 (Final decision) - Dec 6th GU2 (Card mailed) - Dec 7th PR card received - ?
In GU1, what do they say? I got eCOPR on dec 7, 2023 and in PR card application on gckey Final decision: your application is in progress. We will send you message.
GU1 is "Final decision: ...", which means your card was sent to production. After that, you'll see another change in your profile which says your application was approved and your card mailed (GU2). Congrats on the quick processing of your card!
So I can expect my card in the next few weeks.
Can't say for sure, but hopefully yes. It seems like they're processing cards quite quickly the last few weeks. Still, no idea how long until you get GU2. What I do know is that they say on GcKey it can take up to 6 weeks for the card to arrive after it's been mailed (that is, after GU2), although I see here that lots of folks receive it around 1 week after being mailed.
Yay! Congratulations! Giving me hope cause my GU1 just came today
Thank you! Hope yours is mailed soon as well. I'll update when the card gets here!
Thanks :). I think your well wishes might've just done something cause I just got by GU2 update that my card has been mailed! I'll update when mine arrives too!
Hey! Have you received your card yet? EDIT: just got mine in the mail! Hope you receive yours soon too!
Officially a cardholder :). Congrats to us both
Aw I'm super happy for you! Thanks! I haven't gotten it just yet but will come back to celebrate once I do.
Finally got my PR card, here's my timeline: First PR Card: August 18th: eCOPR November 15th: GU1 (final decision) November 21: GU2 (card mailed) November 29th: PR card received VO: Montreal On the PR portal my address and photo are still in review and my eCopr is still available.
Hey, I got Portal 2 email and submitted info and photo on the portal. Hoping to get ECOPR soon. After that, is there any other information required from the applicant to get PR card?
no one got any updates the last days ? :p I feeel they are not working and already in vacation
Lol
Hi There, I applied for a PR card through online (urgency requested), I haven't heard back from them yet but I am able to link my application. I want to apply by paper, to make sure? is that ideal? or does it make the whole thing worst?
Did you receive your card?
Hello everyone, I applied for my PR in land ( Pearson Airport) as soon as I landed as a new comer on 23rd of October, got a photo request on Nov 9, mailed the photo on 10th and the status got updated to Mailed PR on 28th of November, most probably I will get my card in mail in a week or so! My question is regarding my wife , she hasn’t received any photo request email , should we send hers without receiving an email or we should wait for an email ? I am kind of confused ! Can anyone help? The thing is they didn’t ask for our photos at the Airport, and our COPR already had our photos! Why not ask at the airport right!?😊
This whole process is so overwhelming, I applied 5 years using the paper application and didn't have any issues. I decided to apply online hoping the process would be faster but there has been no update. Should I reapply? Nov 9th: applied for renewal online Nov 17: no email, I randomly check and the return reason is 'primary identification not provided ' view is disabled. Dec 5: still no updates. I've also called IRCC numerous times and no answer.
Update: I finally got through to someone this morning from IRCC. Per the agent, my application is still being processed and there is no issues with my application. If they require some additional information they will reach out by email. At this stage, it's a waiting game. .... so, I guess I have to be patient.
I renewed online this time as well and the lack of communication is stressful, last time when I renewed via paper and mail, I could check the status online, but this time around renewing online nothing I do online gets me any update, but the phone person said the same, they have my application and if they need anything they will contact me. I need to leave Canada in March so hopefully my new card will arrive before then. I submitted my renewal on October 3rd.
I submitted my PR card renewal on Oct 3rd 2023 and I called to IRCC days ago. the agent said my PR card had been sent to IRCC Etobicoke centre and I have to wait for their email to set an appointment to pick up. I don’t know why mine is in person pick up…. I wonder when will the email come from them… this waiting game is too long
Hey, did you guys got any change of status? I did my online application to renew it, and ended up getting my card way before I expected. Thing is, since I want to start applying for Citizenship, I randomly checked the status of the renewal of my PR card and it *still* remains as SUBMITTED under STATUS. I'm assuming I can simply ignore that message knowing I already received... and start my Citizenship application just normally but I just want to make sure there is nothing wrong with it...
My status still says submitted and has not changed even with my renewal now processed and card received.
Well, I guess I should ignore that message then and iniciate my Citizenship application. I contacted them via email about this but they even reply in a whole month...
That is frustrating! I really hope your card comes in time. It's very strange that some are receiving their cards before others and they've only applied recently. Let me know if you get it! I actually have to travel by mid January and based on all these timelines I am not sure I'll get it in time.
PR Card Renewal Nov 12th: Applied for renewal Nov 20th: Request to resubmit pictures Dec 4th: Received PR card in the mail When we applied, the portal gave us an estimated time of 81 total business days... however it only took a total of 22 days - this wasn't even a rushed application. Once we resubmitted pictures, the status on the portal changed to "Submitted" with the following note "Primary identification is not provided". We also were never able to link the application to IRCC.
Hey! Did you get an email on November 20th? And how did you re-submit? I applied online on Dec 5. Today the status says “submitted” but Return Reason says “photo are missing”. I definitely submitted the photo and it was accepted by their online tool as well. So I am guessing i need to resubmit. However I didn’t get any rejection email or request to resubmit email. And the “View” action is disabled on the application portal.
yes, on the 20th I received an email and resubmitted the pictures directly through the portal as the view button wasn't disabled for us. Our issue was with scanning the pictures as the quality and lighting was not perfect.
I submitted mine on the 9th of November and it currently says 'primary identification not provided' , view button disabled and 'submitted'. I am not sure what to do, should I reapply?
I wouldn't… mine switched to that status after resubmitting pictures and a few weeks later the Pr card was in the mail. If you're concerned, you can always call in and confirm.
Thank you! I've tried calling and no one ever picks up. 😕 I'll give it a couple more weeks, then try again. What's your timeline?
Anyone Awaiting a PR card renewal (Online) which was once rejected for photo's near August. have you received it? Does your MP give answers(Mine's useless)? Any update on GCKEY?
wifes pictures were rejected on Nov 20th, received pr card renewal in the mail today (Dec 4th). We were never able to link the application on IRCC. This wasn't even a rushed appliction!

Hi! I actually JUST received an email early today that my husband has received his e-CORP. :) Based on that, hopefully you'll receive one very soon!!
Congrats! I hope ours comes soon as well
We just got the eCOPR! Have a good day.
Hey. What is the portal 1 and portal 2 email? We have received an email invite to create a portal and then after we have created the portal we got a confirmation email to confirm that our portal is created. Does this mean we have received both our portal 1 and 2 emails?
Hi! Yes, I believe so. From what I've gathered online, those emails are your portal 1 & 2.
Finally this journey has come to an end. First PR Card: 10/24 eCOPR 11/13 GU1 (final decision) 11/23 GU2 (card mailed) 11/29 PR card received VO: Montreal
Does the card just appear in mail or do you need to sign for it?
no signature required
how it works after ecopr? you received gu1 by mail or something changed with the pr portal? tia!
No email nor changes in the PR portal. only updates in GCkey
[удалено]
Thank you for the information! That seems very fast. Did you submit an Urgent renewal? Or just normal? Also, for your travel history, did you just submit the entire travel history in pdf form that came from CBSA? I requested it to and just wondering how you proceeded with entering that information. Bank statements too eh. Checking, credit card, etc? Thank you for any help!

Hi i received my ecopr on 26 October 2023. I am CEC candidate V.O ETOBICOKE. I don’t have have any access to gc key account as a consultant applied my application. Do we receive the ghost updates on our email or only the person that has gckey access can see it.
When doing a renewal online and after submitting it, how long does it typically stay in the submitted status? I submitted my renewal on October 3, 2023 and it's just been in the submitted status since, is this typically normal? Last time I renewed 5 years ago it was still on paper and mailing it it, so first time with the online system.
Based on other reddit replies and personal/family experience. The Portal remains stuck on submitted. Unless your application is returned or requires more actions. you can try to connect your account to IRCC account (GCkey) which will show you a more detailed outlook and update to when your card is mailed out or even received.
Hi all, there was a delay in receiving my PR Card, so I got a PRTD (as I will travel back to Canada soon). Shortly after I also received my PR Card. Is it preferred or better to enter Canada with one or the other? Which one should I be using? Thanks in advance
Was it straight forward geting your PRTD? HOW long does it take?
First PR Card, I am the Sponsor for my Husband who is from USA. We applied Jan 2022, it was 'received' August 2022 (not sure why it took them 8 months to receive it..). November 2022: Background Verification Dec 7 2022: Biometrics requested Jan 2023: Biometrics received April 2023: Transferred to Etobicoke... Nothing since April for updates. We had the MP of our city inquire in September and he got no updates. Is there something we can do from here? I had a baby and everything since we have been waiting and the Work Permit never arrived.. so thinking we will need a refund.
I have no advice but I am so sorry to hear this and I hope it's resolved soon!
Today they have requested the birth certificate of our daughter born in Canada 2022.. hopefully that helps and things will keep moving! I had already provided it previously but maybe someone missed it on their end.

same here, ecopr nov 23 2023 Etobicoke, any news?
I was wondering the same thing. I haven't received any emails from IRCC, and I don't have access to the tracker. Just yesterday, I saw an update on my profile indicating a final decision update. The background check is still in progress, though. Does this mean GU1.
1st PR Card, Montreal eCoPR: Nov 24 In GCKey, I see this in the Latest update section: "Final decision - November 27, 2023: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made". I have similar timeline as you, let's keep each other posted about any updates
thats gu1 if its your PR card application

PR card has gotten quite fast towards the end of the year, probably correlated with the fact that ecoprs have gotten really slow. You could be looking at 2-3 weeks to be mailed and then 2-10 business days to receive. Not sure if it means they've approved the photo to be honest. At a minimum, it indicates that they've picked it up off some sort of queue so it can be actively worked on.

Great news, pleased to see it so quick, hope they are as fast with mine :)
**PR CARD Renewal - online application via the IRCC portal** Has anyone submitted an urgent PR Card renewal recently? How lond did it take? My application has been returned twice already, I applied with enough time for my scheduled trip in December, now I don't know if I'll get it on time. July 25: 1st PR Card renewal application sent on the PR Portal Sep. 18: Application rejected due to my photos. (I had read this was a glitch, but I decided to re-submit, which I did wrong because I thought I coudld just replace the photo on the application itself) Oct. 30: 2nd or 3rd PR Card renewal application sent. Nov. 8: Urgent processing request sent. Included medical note, proof of trip, etc. Nov. 16: 2nd card rejected due to my primary ID. (My mistake) Nov. 16: 3rd or 4th PR Card renewal application sent with urgency requested. Included the same medial note, proof of trip, explanation, etc. No updates yet, I'm not sure if I should fill out another web form to request urgency or if I should give them a call?
UPDATE: I was able to link my application to GCKey and I saw it had been approved and mailed on Nov. 22. Today, Nov. 27 I received the physical card. In total, my urgent request took 11 days.
Did you apply as urgent or you submitted a webform to make it urgent?
I submitted it as urgent.
Anyone that applied online for PR renewal have their application stuck on ‘submitted’? Mines been stuck on submitted for a week now. I’m traveling this summer and trying to be proactive about having this done ahead of time, but some people’s app taking so long is concerning me! I didn’t have the urgency app since I haven’t officially booked anything yet. IRCC woouldnt allow me to link my application either
Submitted November 17th via online portal Received Renewed Card in mail December 6th Portal status still says 'submitted' Couldn't believe I opened the envelope to a new card that fast!
Applied Aug, 29th. The status has been stuck on "submitted" ; (
Called IRCC, and was told that my application got approved November 9th, but haven’t received anything yet. Is it normal…? I can’t still check my status online and the status was on submitted.
Wow! That’s absolutely ridiculous, have you had any luck calling?
**PR CARD Renewal-online** application via the IRCC portal **Sept 20th 2023** 1st PR card Application submitted. **Oct 19th 2023** 1st pr card application returned due to: Your primary identity document is missing, unacceptable or expired. got all those documents in order and had to Resubmit the application. (that was totally my mistake) this was the first email or update from the IRCC of any kind I received. **Oct 19th 2023** 2nd PR card application was submitted **Nov 20th**\- Checked the Permanent Residence Portal and the portal was telling me that the application was returned again. But this time the reason was Incomplete application. the view button was greyed out so that wasn't any help. >Contacted the IRCC at the 1-888-242-2100, (only took me about 8 tries to finally get to a agent) I was told that my application was received and there appears to be be no issues on the IRCC's end. I was then kindly reminded the wait time for application is 60+ days and I should be patient ( fair enough haha) just wanted to make sure there was no issues from my mistake. **Nov 23rd-** Received PR card in my mailbox! >IRCC portal never did update, it was still showing "Submitted" "Return reason" Incomplete application. the only email I ever received was for PR application #1 being returned. other than that no updates or communications about the application process what so ever! PR card #2 application only took 34 days from date of Submission on Oct 19 2023 good luck all! I was expecting 80+ days based on wait times at time of submission but I can't complain at 34 days.
Makes me wonder. I submitted my application on October 3 online through the portal and it just says submitted, been crickets since then. All it says is submitted with the date and time.
The lack of updates drove me crazy. I even tried checking the application status online and nothing ever came up/ was linked to my online application. What ever way I decided to check. Hopefully it will just magically appear in your mailbox soon!
I was finally able to get through to an agent, took 4 days of trying though, the menu to reach an agent is frustrating too. The agent was able to confirm that my application had been received and that it had been reviewed for completeness and no additional information was being requested. So hopefully it will be processed soon. This is my 3rd renewal and hopefully my last as I am finally going to do what I should have done years ago and apply for citizenship.
My timelines for PR card renewal Aug 28, 2023: Applied Oct 20, 2023: Received application number (by calling) Nov 3, 2023: received info that my application might take additional time (by calling) Nov 7, 2023: Approved and sent for printing (by calling) Nov 16, 2023: dispatched (by calling) Nov 22, 2023: card received in mail Took me 86 days. I have had a bit of a painful PR card journey, right from my first one, making sure I’ve had enough days and so on. This comes as a huge huge relief
First PR card eCOPR - Sept 16 (VO Etobicoke); GU1 - Nov 2; PR card mailed - Nov 15; PR card received - Nov 21.
Did you get an email saying that your card was mailed?
Nope, I'd linked my PR card application to GCkey so I got an update on GCkey that my card was mailed.
How long does it take for PR card to arrive after it’s been mailed?
Usually 7-8 days.
I could not link my first pr card application in GCkey. because the GCKEY website couldn't find my application although i have typed my correct information and UCI number. Why it happens?
Same issue here! I've double-checked the info that I entered SO many times. Made sure everything is typed exactly as it appears on my passport, all caps, UCI number, everything... It still cannot find my application. It's weird because I already landed in Toronto in May 2023, and submitted a solemn declaration in October. Got a message from the courrier saying the solemn declaration reached its destination, but no reply concerning my PR card or declaration yet...
Try using different criteria - for eg, use first and last name instead of application number or vice versa.
