The processing and mailing time for a Permanent Resident Card (PR Card) can vary depending on several factors, including the workload of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the method of application. Here are some general guidelines:

Online Application:

• Processing time: 12 to 24 weeks (3 to 6 months)
• Mailing time: 2 to 4 weeks after processing is complete

Paper Application:

• Processing time: 16 to 30 weeks (4 to 7.5 months)
• Mailing time: 2 to 4 weeks after processing is complete

Express Entry:

• Processing time: 6 to 12 weeks (1.5 to 3 months)
• Mailing time: 2 to 4 weeks after processing is complete

Note: These times are estimates and may vary depending on the complexity of the application, the volume of applications received, and other factors.

After submitting your application, you can track the status of your PR Card online through the IRCC website. You will receive an email notification when your application is processed and your PR Card is mailed to you.

If you have not received your PR Card after the estimated processing and mailing times, you can contact IRCC to inquire about the status of your application.
