Hi, I just sent mailed my pr renwal about a month ago. I still have no word on it. Is this common for people applying? My pr also has been expired for more than 7 years. Is there any way my file won’t get accepted? I followed all the requirements too.

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your question and situation with us.

Processing time does not include the wait time before they receive the application, and starts once they receive a completed application. You may find it helpful to [check processing times using the calculator on the IRCC website](https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html).

Here is an excerpt:

> Your processing time [starts the day we receive](http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1474&top=3) your complete application and ends when we make a decision. It may vary depending on how many applications we receive.
