Hello everyone and thanks in advance for anyone willing to advise...

Can anyone give me exact wording of photo resubmission mailed letter (regular mail not email)?

Reason I ask is that I only now received a photo request for my son's card dated 21st December 2018 (!!!) ..I have already raised a CSE earlier this month and received an almost immiidate reply asking for the photos that I have sent..yet this letter comes later with a bit of confusing wording mentioning "my recent photo submission" and I'm not sure if they mean the original photos with application or resubmitted ones..

If anyone received this letter please share the wording... thanks

Even stranger! Could be due to the strike or maybe they send out these photo resubmission letters in batches? Could be the cause of the delays...God knows how they operate!

Anyway hang in there it's just the final step hopefully...

I shared these information before, but I thought may be somebody need this now...

I got these instructions in the e-mail
Permanent resident card - Photo retake required

If you applied for a Permanent Resident card (PR card), or if you are waiting to receive your initial PR card, and the Case Processing Centre requires that you provide new photos, we invite you to:

  • Send two photos according to the photo specifications, and
  • Include:
    • if available, the letter/email received to that effect, or
    • an explanation letter (including your complete name, date of birth and UCI).
Where to send them

By regular mail:

Case Processing Centre - PRC
P.O. Box 4500
Sydney, Nova Scotia
B1P 6L1

If you would like to have proof that your photos were received, you may use registered or express mailwith Canada Post or a courier service such as Purolator, UPS, FedEx, etc. Please instruct the courier service to use this address:

Case Processing Centre - PRC
49 Dorchester Street
Sydney, NS
B1P 5Z2

Please send the requested information within 30 days from the date of the letter that was sent to you
I got my and spouse's photo requests by email on 14 December and I sent the Photos via Xpress Post Canada to
Case Processing Centre - PRC
P.O. Box 4500
Sydney, Nova Scotia
B1P 6L1


However, I got tracking confirmation together with the recipient signature on 21 December. Do I need to worry as I haven't sent photos to
Case Processing Centre - PRC
49 Dorchester Street
Sydney, NS
B1P 5Z2
