I just received a request for new pictures landed on November 17
I read somewhere that your application was approved so why the request for new pictures again?
Does IRCC always have a bug in their computer system or what? Keep sending the wrong info to applicants. I'm a victim too during my Permanent Resident application

Exactly what I'm referring to. I read that the pr card was approved so why the sudden request for another photos?
My PR card never showed as approved on GCKey.

Thought I’d start a new thread to keep track of the current processing and wait times for the first PR card, especially now that there’s quite a backlog of mail due to the CP strikes.

Landed: November 17
POE: Coutts/Sweetgrass border
Province of destination: Nova Scotia
Linked PR card to GCKey: November 19
GCKey updated to approved: waiting
PR card received: waiting
Ok. Hope you get it soon when you send the request

How did you recieve the request, in email or you need to check the ecas?
Email. If you didn’t link your PR card to GCKey it will come by regular mail.

Hi all, sorry if this is a stupid question but how do you link your PR card to your GCKey when you don't have the card yet? All that happened when I landed was the guy stamped my COPR and told me to look out for the card in the post... should I have a new number or something? Thanks

I received a photo request in email. I took the photo in Costco and it is rejected. Do you guys have any other suggestion for a place to take photo?

How long would it take to receive PR card after sending the photo?
