I’ve landed in Toronto on 9/28 but am still waiting for my PR card… I’m worried it’s been lost but I can’t find any tracking info on CIC website. I tried to enter my case number and etc. on CIC website but it says results not found… Has anyone encountered a similar issue? How long did it take you to receive your PR card?
Thank you for your reply! It says 47 days on CIC website but it’s been 50 days for me and yet I haven’t receive mine. It’s relieving to know that 3 months is the average time.
I received my PR card today June 21. I landed on June 8. I got the notification on June 19 that my card has been mailed. Their processing time seems to be accurate for new PR cards. They keep updating on weekly basis.
The PR card receiving timeline has definitely become shorter this year. We landed on Aug 7 and got an update that our PR cards were mailed out on Aug 16. So the processing was completed in less than 10 days.
I am in a small dilemma and would appreciate some advice.
This May, I had completed my landing at Peace Bridge. The immigration officer did not start my PR card process at that time as it wasn’t my permanent move.
Officer asked me to complete the Address Notification - Permanent Resident Card application to get my PR card process started only once I make a final move to Canada.
I am aware of cases where people have got there PR cards process started on Soft Landing.
Any advice on can and how should I apply for my PR card before moving permanently to CA ?
Hi @aditya_bisht, it would be a good idea to apply for the PR card before moving but it isn’t mandatory. As for the “Address Notification - Permanent Resident Card” application, I don’t have much idea on how to go about it. You might want to check in the soft landing thread on how others who have been in a similar situation have gone about it.
