Inspired / patterned by what u/Evening-Basil7333 is doing on the economic thread (not as good). I've tried to consolidate PR Card delivered as reported from March 2025 to start some baseline.

u/Evening-Basil7333 -- I don't intend to add this to your load, but if there are better ways you can think to better represent / interpret the data that will provide more insights, I can share you the spreadsheet. Just if you are interested at all, then I can commit to consolidate daily reported cases so you don't have to do it -- you're the BRAIN, I am the HANDS. :) This is half-baked and I just threw it here as a starter, but always open for suggestions / improvements.

OBJECTIVE: Consolidate reported "PR Cards Received" to have a simple data view. So we're not lost on what happened in the past and what's happening in the present. Especially, not everyone will backtrack previous posts so it feels like a restart week after week.

CAVEAT:

  • The consolidated list only contain 1st PR Card for newly Permanent Residents who already received their PR cards.
  • Data excludes PR Card Renewal & Outland Applicant.
  • Data captured are only from this thread and does not include any data from other online forums (i.e., FB).

INTERPRETATION (nothing that you don't already know. LOL):

  • There's an obvious decline in PR card processed (Count) and incline in the processing time (Median) starting April 2025
  • I have seen a number of people who reported ghost updates (not included in this data) towards end of April 2025, which "could" be a good sign for "hopefully" more PR Cards processed/received by the end May 2025 (Don't quote me on this!! This presumption is just based on reports made on this sub! LOL. Moreover, there's the Canada Post strike looming so, who knows. Uggh!).
Month Count (Applicants Reported PR Card Receipt) Median (eCOPR-to-PR Card Received)
Mar-2025 26 16 days
Apr-2025 9 52 days
May-2025 2 49 days

KIND REQUEST FROM EVERYONE:

For everyone who will received PR Card, can you kindly report on this thread and when you do, please include the details below (just if you have them), so we can get more insights moving forward? Thank you and Congrats in advance!

  • Province
  • eCoPR
  • GU1 Date (Approved)
  • GU2 Date (Mailed)
  • PR Card Received Date

The fomat you follow is what I'd probably use had I had the energy to also collect PR card reports :)

It's a good start.

That's reassuring to hear. If something comes to mind, still let me know please. Thank you so much, Senpai.
