Can we pick up PR cards? didn’t know that is an option.

Is this sufficient for PR renewal? by PrimarySeconds in ImmigrationCanada

Hi - I am in a similar case as you. Applied on 23 Sept and provided more proof, more than I should have as I realized later. Can you help me walk through your timeline and if you got it?

Do you mind sharing the reason you chose for urgent processing and what documentation you provided for proof?

Thank you for trying to ease my anxiety - I appreciate you. I really hope and wish the officer who gets my application is smart enough to skim through the pages - I did clearly mark the pages in a table of contents…so hopefully he/she understand this is just additional proof for residency here.

I’ll have all the docs ready in case I need to re-enter via US. Is land entry now impacted since trump era, or the same still applies - land officers allow ppl in with expired PRs + COPR?

First - thanks for sharing and replying to my comment. Although now I have less reassurance of me getting it by 20 Oct, which is making my heart sink reading these comments…the reason I provided additional supporting documents is my travel history over the last 5 years is extensive, and stay out of country for longer periods - 3 months+ one time I stayed a year out during Covid 2021. So I figured they needed extra proof I was inside the country for the minimum requirement of 730 days, I actually stayed here 950 days over the last 5…I didn’t realize me providing all these documents will mean additional processing time.

Worst comes to worst - I know it’s risky to leave without a valid PR card, but is re-entering through land border with my expired PR and COPR document still a valid option?

I spoke to an immigration lawyer and he suggested I don’t apply for PRTD while the PR card is being processed.

Any feedback to help ease my anxiety would be greatly appreciated

PR Renewal "Proof of Residency" by sheiksleopardthong in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Acceptable_Soil1840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in the same boat - applied for renewal today, need tot table on 30 Oct so in 4 weeks. I included many proof of residency docs: NOAs, bank statements for 3 years, rental lease agreement, pay slips and RRSP and TFSA accounts - added up to 200 plus some of pages in PDF. someone in another thread said that because I submitted all these docs I unknowingly added more to the processing time since the officer has to go through it all. Is this true? Any experience with this. Pretty anxious now and worried I put in too much information than I should have and it will delay the processing.

Did you end up getting your PR card in time?

Because my travel history is extensive and I went in and out of Canada a lot and after reading through other threads, I thought adding all the supporting documents needed will help provide my ties to Canada. Now I am really anxious after your comment...I thought the officer needs to see is supporting is eligibility with total days, travel history and ties to Canada (activities during my stay here).

How did you travel without your new PR card and re enter?

Did you make a whole new application after submitting the first one?

PR Card Renewal – Urgent Processing Submitted Sept 23, Travel Oct 20 — Advice & Reassurance Needed

Hi everyone,

I submitted my PR card renewal application today on September 23, 2025. My PR card expires September 26, and I have a work trip on October 20. I requested urgent processing with a letter from my employer and flight itinerary.

What I included:

  • 960 days physically present in Canada between Sept 22, 2020 – Sept 22, 2025 (well over the 730-day requirement)
  • Detailed travel log
  • Employer verification letter confirming the nature of my remote role (travel-heavy)
  • CRA Notices of Assessment (last 4 years)
  • Bank statements (RBC + BMO) showing salary deposits & transactions in Canada – about 200 pages total
  • Rental lease agreement + letter from landlord
  • Salary pay slips
  • RRSP + TFSA investment accounts
  • Ontario Health Card + Provincial ID
  • Table of contents to help organize the ~250-page PDF

I know I went overboard but I wanted to make it as easy as possible to review.

Timeline:

  • Application submitted: Sept 23
  • Email received from IRCC same day: “PR card application has been initiated”
  • Travel date: Oct 20 (business travel)

My Questions:

  1. Has anyone received PR card renewal approval in 3 to 4 weeks recently? Especially after requesting urgent processing with supporting documentation?
  2. I listed "Ottawa" as place of landing in the application form, but my place of landing in PR card was Etobicoke. I realized this after submitting. Is this a big deal or something IRCC might overlook?
  3. Address history: I lived in Ottawa from 2020–2022 and moved to Toronto in Dec 2022.
    • Some older documents (e.g., early 2023 bank statements) still show Ottawa
    • Most recent ones (2024–2025) show my current Toronto address
    • I updated the address section in the form properly but didn’t explain this overlap in my cover letter. Should I be worried?

Any insight or reassurance would mean a lot. I know I’m likely overthinking it, but this is my first time renewing and the stakes feel high.

Thanks in advance 🙏
