PR Card renewal - September 2026

Do not change anything!!

Your reason for return is very obvious so just rectify the objection. Keep the photo as it is, and reach out to the place where you took your photo. Ask them to stamp it and give it a time to dry.
If it was a digital photo you should not even put a stamp, rather the invoice/receipt.

Dear Faraz
I really appreciate the way you give hope through your posts. If possible, I would also like to know your views regarding my case. I submitted my file on August 2nd, and after that, the JSON status was completed on September 4th. There has been no update since then. I also called to agent and sent a webform, but everyone gives the same reply: that your file is under process. This might help other applicants who, like me, have been stuck for a long time.

Hi,

Well, unfortunately, I will also say the same. If the JSON status was complete around September 4th, then it is bit strange that the cards did not end up in your mailbox.

Perhaps share your Rawapi data with expanded reasons for rejection menu and we can see some more info.

8 weeks is unusual, but this tells me that your case must not be straightforward and must have complexities.
1- A lot of traveling history with small trips
2- Living with Canadian spouse outside Canada to count for Residency Obligation
3- Agent not immediately convinced with documentation that you have provided as a proof of living together in case of point 2.
4 - Cutting close to the RO.

I always tell people: Be happy as the Good news is NO NEWS from them.! No news or update from their side means things are moving forward and they can verify things independently without your input of additional documentation. You are lucky that they are investigating and they are taking it forward without additional requirements.

Good luck

Thanks for sharing your views on my case. I am sharing my JSON status here. In the last 5 years, I have travelled back to my home country twice and have stayed in Canada for more than 1500 days.
But as you say, if no requirements is coming up from IRCC, that is a very good thing. So far, this is the best thing about my case.

Everything looks absolutely complete.
Your programId, phase and sort order are selected correctly (PR card renewal).

Just do not worry. The surprise in the mailbox is coming :)
