Hi,
does anyone know how long approximately it can take from the card being printed after the application has been checked and verified to getting mailed out?
I don't get the same response from CIC.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your question with us.
You can find some information specific to processing times directly on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) website in the Processing times: Permanent Resident Card section.
It states, for New permanent residents it is 42 calendar days and for Existing permanent residents it is 164 calendar days (Working on applications received up to May 27, 2015).
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.

Hello Anna,
I, too, have a question about the length of time to process a PR card. My application was sent in March 2015 and now 7 months later I still have not heard from anyone at the CIC. My MP has been very active at trying to help me but to no avail. I have been a landed immigrant since I arrived from the UK when I was two years old. I lived in Canada until I was 30 years old at which time I moved overseas, married a Canadian, had three children that each have Canadian passports. We returned to Canada three years ago. I waited the required time to begin the process for a PR card and yet I continue to wait. ANy suggestions or advice? I travel to the US in early November and am growing very concerned. Thank you very much.
