If your PR card photo is rejected, how long does it take to get an update after sending a new photo to IRCC? The Photo my wife sent to IRCC got to them on 28 April 2022 but there have been no update on her profile.

Hello All.. Myself Akash frm Delhi, India. I applied for PR card renewal on H&C grounds as was nt meeting the Residency obligations.. I applied last year in April and still it's under process..

Fortunately yesterday I was able to speak with agent and he confirmed me my application still under process and stucked at Etobicoke office.. And he requested for urgent update on that..

Here are few questions:

I am in Delhi, India at this moment, and in case i need to pick my card in-person.. I will need PRTD to enter Canada as PR card already expired..

Would I get PRTD easily based on the email received for pick my card, or any issue or complications would be there?

Is there any chance they issue pr card and send to the address I had given in the application and in-person pick up not required?

Can I apply PRTD now like, can I mention that I need to visit Canada to get my pr card or visit my friend, and then wait to get the pr card?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Absolutely common. Those two applications are independent and can move at their own pace.

Thank you for responding . Is there a possibility of card not being issued because he has already left the country for now?
Received a letter asking 2 new photos from him , I believe photos must be stamped by the studio , will it be a problem if pictures are taken in another country?

What form you get the letter? Is it in the mail? or email(PDF)? did you have your dad's PR Card application linked? if so, What's the status? please advice.

Hello All.. Myself Akash frm Delhi, India. I applied for PR card renewal from India only on H&C grounds as was not meeting the Residency obligations..

I applied last year in April and still it's under process..

Last Friday I did speak with agent and he confirmed me that my application is approved but its selected for In-person pick up from Etobicoke office, and I should get the email with 1-2 weeks.

Here are few questions?

I am in Delhi, India at this moment, and in order to pick my card in-person.. I will need PRTD to enter Canada as PR card already expired.
Will I get PRTD based on the email received to pick my card, or any complications would be there?

IRCC might have renewed the card and would ask to pick up In-person as they might have assumed that I am already in Canada and applying PRTD will jeopardize things and I should travel through US by road, and pray would not reported while crossing the border?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Not an expert, but I think applying for PRTD, you will have to again apply on same grounds (H&C) and not on basis of card collection reason.
