PermanentResidentCard Renewal TimeFrames During Covid-19
-
I applied for my permanent resident card to be renewed in March 2020. I am planning to fly to UK for a wedding to take place in September 2020. May I get my PR card by then or I have to apply for a travel document?

According to IRCC website (cic.gc.ca), posted on June 30, 2020, the PR Cards will take 287 days to get renewed. In your case, you can send a new application with an airline ticket and proof of wedding, a statutory declaration (invitation letter), and a request to expedite. You may be successful to get it renewed earlier. The first application will be closed by the officer. If not, you can apply for travel document from UK and return to Canada.

As per the latest guidelines, IRCC has changed the processing time for PR card renewals from 287 days to 138 days on July 28, 2020. Generally, I can say PR card renewals will take approximately 4 months to process.
