30 days, so phone the call centre and ask if there is a problem.

I am in problem now, As my wife has already gone back to drop my 10 month old baby to India in a week after landing. I was just waiting for her PR card here and just called today to check and came to know that they want me to go to their office with Photo because there is some problem with photo and before they proceed with PR card they need to have new photos. and I think the same problem should be with mife wife and mu daughter application also.
I really dont know what to do now.

Please somebody help.

Get your fixed up, then when your wife and child want to return, they apply for a travel document at Delhi.

I did call the immigration call centre and they told me it would take around 4 - 6 weeks. I am unable to check for him because he is the main applicant and they said I can't check the process unless it's my husband. (He doesn't speak English).

Is there any other local phone number I can call other than call centre number? I am in Mississauaga, ON.

I think that I would believe what CIC posts on their web site, rather than what an IO states. 30 days for new PRs and 130 days for renewals.

I can tell you from expreince that most people are getting PR after minimum 2 months these days. Some people might have got ealrier, probably those who landed during the earlier part ofthe year.

Phoning the Call Centre is of no help... we tried that.

My husband landed on April 12, and we were assured that his PR card would arrive in 4 weeks, and no later than 6 weeks. It's been over 6 weeks now, and nothing. We have plans to go to Arizona next week, so he called to find out if the card had been mailed, if it was still in processing, or what. They couldn't tell us anything. The only thing they told him was that he could still leave the country without it (and I confirmed that with WestJet, that they'd let him board), and since we are driving back with his truck, he's not required to have the PR card to return by land, in a private vehicle -- his Landing Papers/Confirmation of Permanent Residence papers would be enough.

I still wish the PR card would arrive before we leave -- I'm a bit nervous about it.

Having called CIC to confirm time lines for the PR card, as there seems to be conflicting information, they did confirm that the web site time line of 30 days was wrong, they have not got around to updating the site yet.

It appears they are having problems with their photo scanning machines, the CIC agent on the telephone was not sure herself what the problem was, but she advised me that currently, realistically, PR cards were being issued approx 60 - 90 days from landing.

This is bad news for my 17 year old son, whom was hoping to get his SIN number for the summer so he could work. But as Service Canada will not give a SIN number with just the COPR paper, he is still stuck not being able to work.

Sometimes, immigration just sucks!!!!.... :p

Go to another Service Canada office, if you check the forum you will see tons of new immigrants getting their SINs with their COPR.
