Phewwww finally i got my 1st PR card after almost 70 day.

I have been seeing too many comments on photo request.

Just to let you know for me there was no photo request because i have submitted photo with my all other documents when i applied after getting Express entry invitation.

But you are wondering why they rejected photos.
PR Photos has to be in certain dimensions.
  • Taken by a commercial photographer.
  • 50 mm wide X 70 mm high (2 inches wide x 2- 3/4 inches long) and sized so the height of the face measures between 31 mm (1- 1/4 inches) and 36 mm (1- 7/16 inches) from chin to crown of head (natural top of head).
  • the subject’s name and date of birth
  • the name and complete address of the photography studio
  • the date the photograph was taken.
  • Photos has to be 6months old not more than that
Your timelines please

In order to link your application select UCI and family number as the options. What causes most people to no be able to link is the place of birth. It must be the same spelling as your CoPR.

I.e.: my place of birth is Sao Paulo (city). On my CoPR it shows Sao Paulo, SP (city + province). I only managed to link them when I entered the exactly same characters as shown on my CoPR. If it still doesn't work, play around with comas/spaces. You have 5 attempts per day anyway :)
Well that's interesting. For me, it worked when I entered the place of birth exactly as per the passport. Initially I entered it as per COPR and it did not work.

Thanks, Are you sending from Overseas? Have you linked the application in CIC account and what it shows?

For My wife and Daughter it still says Submitted same as mine but for them i haven't received any photo request.

Will it be good idea to send photos for them as well with the form. I am also planning to apply for PRTD for worst case scenario.
Yes, i am sending from overseas. I managed to linked the application and both of them shows submitted only.

Haven’t got anything for my daughter but i have sent a picture of her anyway with my spouse picture. I just enclosed a letter explaining the details.

I received the physical letter in the post for my kid 10 days after my spouse and I got our email rejections.

However we sent our kid's photo before we received the physical rejection letter with a note of explanation and details like name, uci number, date of birth etc.

We still haven't heard back from CIC so we don't know if it worked or not.

Good luck.
Thanks. The email for photo resubmission came on 8th May but until now we havent heard anything for my daughter’s application.

Since I’m outside canada now, I cant call the helpline number to check. I hve to wait for them to answer my web inquiry.

I sent her new pictures anyway with my spouse and i enclosed a letter of explanation, hopefully it will help.

Goodluck to all of us

They received my re-submitted photos on the 23rd of April, and when I called last week they told me that my card was sent to production on the 23rd of May. So I guess they're already processing photos received on (at least) the 23rd of April.

I've been reading a lot on this forum (going months and months into the past) and have noticed that the call center agents don't actually know for sure which date the officers are processing, because they don't get updated regularly by the officers. For example, they were stuck on April 9th for almost 2 weeks, but ppl who had submitted in April 14 were being processed.

Moral of the story, always add a few days to the date that the agents give you.
I just noticed this afternoon that my application was updated. I will call them on wednesday to see if there is the photos were approved

That update is most likely your card going to production

That probably means your PR Card has been sent for printing.. You can call to double check but that's generally the trend here. You should received it within 2 weeks
