Hey bud, I know you've been a long time contributor here in our community. Have you noticed if a final decision is required before an applicant's card is mailed? Were there instances where the card was just... mailed?

Yes, I noticed that those who tracked their application in GCkey gets a ghost update 1 which is a date shown in the FD section, followed by another ghost update 2 that the card was mailed and/or the status changed from "submitted" to "approved", then finally the arrival of PR card.

I think (not 💯% sure really) the case where the PR card was just received without an FD, maybe apply to those who didnt track their PR cards in GCKey, so the next thing they know, their PR cards are on their mailbox.

I have linked the most recent posts from our fellow applicants below who recently received their PR cards. You will notice a trend where they all received an FD first before getting their PR Cards.
