what did PRs use before this PR Card was introduced?  They should let the PRs use that again as official status document.

	Since it now takes 6 months to renew PR CARD, mine is supposed to expire mid- march 2011, is it possible to send my renewal request mid- october 2010?Or is it too soon?

	No, mid-October is not too soon. Sending sooner than October is not too soon.
	Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions. BTW: Not an expert, not a Can. lawyer, never worked in immigration

	Hi, guys, My friend applied the PR card Renewal ( urgent) last week. Today, he checked the e-cas, it shows "Decision Made". But when he clicks it, it further indicates : "We received your application for a permanent resident card on August 16, 2010. We started processing your application on August 16, 2010. " There's no any decision displays, neither approved nor unpproved . Is this normal? Any idea? please. Thanks

	Apply as early as possible (in advance) to ensure you get it renewed in time, even as early as 8-9 months! CIC does not have issues with that because the processing time is huge anyway

	211 days to renew as per today. This is a disgrace even for a third world country. I think that apart from the initial issues that brought the processing up from around 80 days, there is now another reason for the delay. I suspect that people, seeing the long time, just gave up the card renewal until they really need it for travel and they have airline tickets. At that point they use the 'urgent' route. So now as more people use the 'urgent' processing, CIC is having to allocate more and more people to work on urgent applications, and thus cannot keep up with the normal queue. This is a terrible mismanagement. I helped a friend apply three months ago. The card will expire soon and nothing is moving. She will have to use the urgent track as well.

	If a person has already applied for PR renewal, and after few months towards the expiry date - and before receiving the renewed card - had to travel, how would he/she use the urgent process/track then? Should he/she apply a whole complete new file attaching proof of travel? Or just forward the proof of travel referring the current application under process? Can somebody advise on this please?

	Thank you GabGil, That link does not answer my question. It refers to the application that has been longer than the received up to date posted on website and applicant have not yet received the card. My question if application was within the posted period (Which been increasing every 10 days past 4 months), but card got expired or got close to expiry during that period, and something came up and you had to travel. Details on link does not exactly cover such cases! I'm not quite sure though!
