A member asked how long it typically takes for a PR card to arrive after uploading the required photo to the IRCC portal.
What the thread reported:- Reported wait times varied — one member was at 25 days and counting, another reported around 45 days. This shows there's a meaningful range rather than a fixed number.
- The IRCC portal status stays as "in review" throughout the wait, and only updates once the card has actually shipped. So the portal itself won't show incremental progress — it's normal for it to look unchanged for weeks before the status changes to reflect shipping.
Practical takeaway: budget for roughly 3–7 weeks after your photo upload, understanding this varies by case, and don't be concerned if the portal status stays on "in review" for an extended stretch — that's the expected behavior until the card ships.
