Hi,

I have recently moved back to Canada last year and decided i would renew my pr card. I started this in April 30th and i got a response in august asking for more info. I sent the info and august 30th i got a response saying that it has gone to secondary review. Noone can tell me anything and now it is 87 days and counting. I wanted to go and visit my mum for Christmas but i cant leave Canada. Can someone help me, by letting me know how long this process takes please :frowning:
fingers still crossed I might get to go and see my mum for Christmas.

I received my PR card a few days ago. Started process in July 2015, so its been a year and 4 months until I got my renewal card!

I also just received mine on Nov 30 - since July 2015.

It has been a year since I sent in the renewal application. No word from CIC yet…got the same letter for secondary review. My lawyer is suggesting I take the case to federal court. What do I do?

PR card application sent March 2016, secondary review letter received end of May 2016. Renewed PR card received End of Jan 2017. Note that during this time scale no extra information was requested by CIC.

What if I decide to leave the country while waiting? It seems like there is no exception even if you want to go for an urgent matter?

I left while I was waiting for my card to be renewed - I had to go to the local Canadian embassy/consulate to get a PR Travel Document. This can take upto 2 weeks though, and it allows you to re-enter Canada. Otherwise, I hear you can cross over into Canada by car with your landing document, instead of your PR card. However, I got a PR Travel Doc, which looks like a visa in your passport.

Hello everyone
I had been waiting for 12 months from the time I submit my application.
SEP 6 , 2017 I sent my PR renewal application.
JAN 4, 2018 They sent me correspondence requesting a photocopy of all pages of my passport, and also visa entry and exit any country I have visited
Feb 9, 2018, I sent my original passport, later on, they sent the original to my address
Note: my family (wife, kids Canadian citizenship ) live in Canada
I have been waiting for 12 months and continuous…
