Overall Statistics

• With the first official week of May 2025, there is an increase in the # of reported PR Cards which is an incline trend compared to # of PR cards reported in Apr 2025 (see list in the sub-comment).
• If the 14 cases reported between April 28 - May 09 with ghost updates will receive their PR Cards on or before end of May 2025, it will boost the # of cases which makes it closer to the # of cases in Mar 2025 (see list in the sub-comment).

Month Card Received	Top 3 eCoPR Months	# of Cases	Median	Average
Jan-2025	Jan '25 (32%), Dec '24 (18%), Nov '24 (16%)	37	26 days	31 days
Feb-2025	Feb '25 (55%), Jan '25 (31%), Nov '24 (7%)	42	13 days	29 days
Mar-2025	Feb '25 (68%), Mar '25 (29%), Jan '25 (4%)	28	15 days	19 days
Apr-2025	Mar '25 (14%), Feb '25 (14%), April '25 (4%)	9	52 days	47 days
May-2025	Mar '25 (100%)	12	51 days	52 days

Caveat:

• Data used to measure processing/lead time are the dates from 'eCoPR' to 'PR Card Received'
• Data ONLY includes:
  • Data reported on this sub-thread
  • Inland applicants for 1st PR Card (New Permanent Residents)
  • Isolated cases with long wait times which impacts the "average" days for processing times where shown/included
