Tracking Your PR Card

Steps to Link Your PR Card Application After Landing

After landing in Canada, follow these steps to link your Permanent Resident (PR) Card application to your account. Please note that you have up to 5 attempts in one day.

  1. Log in to your CIC account.

  2. Navigate to the "Link an existing application to this account" section. Click on the "Link application to this account" button.

  3. Select the category as PR Card.

  4. Provide your Unique Client Identifier (UCI) and Family Name.

  5. Fill in the required details. Ensure correct capitalization and punctuation.

  6. Enter your landing date in the "Date you became a permanent resident" field.

  7. Click on "Search my application."

  8. Once the application is found, make sure to apply. Failure to do so will prevent it from being linked.

After successfully linking your application, it will show a "Submitted" status. When it is ready for dispatch, the status will change to "Approved." If you receive a photo request, the status will not change.

NOTE: Regularly check PR card processing time on the CIC website as photo requests or PR card approvals come in the last 5-10 days.
