@ShaDawood, We received our card on May 12th in EdmontonHey! I got my renewed PR in the mail yesterday! Just thought to update you hereGood luck!
Hi, I applied for renewal of PR card on 9th May after meeting residency obligation. There was nothing on my application until yesterday when I called IRCC and they said they will do first check and an officer will review it today. Now today the application was returned due to photo not meeting requirements. Given my application has surpassed processing time, I have some questions:
1. I resubmitted the photo soon after I got the message of rejection- would this mean my application will take 12 more days to process? Based on current processing time or will it go back to the same queue
2. I have international travel scheduled on Monday, given Friday is the Canada Post strike are there any options where I can request from IRCC that I would like to collect the card in person?
3. Can I leave without pr card for one week and come back via US border?

Yes, the resubmission date of photo will be the date of new application. From that date, 11 days. This was told to my wife application too, when she resubmitted on 14 th may
hi all,
My wife PR card application has been returned for the 2 nd time stating that photo is poor quality, ( out of focus, shadows,facial features not clearly defined )
My photo is approved. We took photo from UPS store.
I am trying again with same UPS, but is there any other option to take quality pic ?
Walmart, staples, shoppers drug mart are few options, but which option is best ?
However, it says "updated at " 26/05/2025

Go to a professional photo studio who are experienced in clicking photos for visa/passport applications. Some photo studios also guarantee to retake your picture for no cost, if you can show them the proof that the photo wasn't accepted.
Hi all,
My PR card received today thro canada post.
My wife's card still in process. New photo uploaded on 26 th May.
Hi, could you let me know if you’ve received an acknowledgment of receipt from IRCC or if the status of your online application has changed? I’m also waiting for an update.
PR card portal says still " submitted " status. I called IRCC on the 14 th May, and that time they said, the card was sent on 14 th May. Postal duration 14 days
No AOR received.
Hi! Are you all receiving your cards via Canada Post, or is IRCC mailing them through Fedex lately? Sent my application on Friday and seems like a national strike is still a possibility after CP's final offer. (Not sure if there's a May thread)
My application included a name change, not sure if that will take more than the expected 2 weeks : (
