New PR confirmation portal

[vvin.win]

Hi All,
Finally, received my credentials today after the first email which was on May 25, 2021.
I received an email to upload a photo and confirm my presence in Canada.
Did anyone submit the same photo which was uploaded during EE profile submission? I got a photo taken in January 2021 and it satisfied the 6 months condition. But while uploading the photo during express entry submission, photo specifications were 35mm x 45mm and now they are pointing to https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/apply-renew-replace/photo.html where it's 50mm x 70mm. I know this page was for a hard copy while we are submitting the digital copy with only the front view. Curious to know what others end up doing.

This is what was in the help icon (?) while submitting the EE photo
Temporary residents (students, workers, visitors), Express Entry and Canadian citizenship certificate

• The photo must show a full front view of the head and tops of shoulders, with the face in the middle of the photo.
• Size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31mm and 36mm.
• Image size: at least 420 x 540 pixels.
• We accept JPEG or JPEG2000 format.
• File size: approximately 240 kB, no more than 4 MB.
• Image must be in colour (24 bits per pixel) in RGB colour space, the common output for most digital cameras.

Temporary residents and Express Entry

• The final frame size of the photo must be at least 35mm x 45mm.
• If you scan an existing photo, the minimum resolution must be 600 pixels per inch.

Hi andy00, I think it is better to upload the newest photo for them. The size might be a little different because one is for your application, and one will be print-out on your PR card. Thank you.

Whats did u use to Confirmed the address?

Hi onamoisa, You don't need to show them with rent contract. Once you put the checkmark on the declaration. You are already admitting you are now in Canada. It's all about "Integrity", failure to do so, will be disqualified for the PR. They can easily found out where do you lived after you apply SIN and other duties if they wanted to.

Hey guys.. we've submitted the required info in the PR confirmation portal on May 17th. Now after over two weeks with no response and both address and photo being "In review with IRCC", I'm wondering if there's potentially an issue? Are they normally taking as long?
VO is Etobicoke

You can simply type in your current address. They will approve that later.

Hi PrasadK, I upload photos and address on May 12. They approved the address on May 28, photos are still under review. So I think it is normal. If they approved both, they are ready to send out your PR card to you with 1 week.

Is there anyone waiting for portal credentials since May 28, 2021?

@PrasadK same here posted everything on portal on 21st May, address and photo still in review. VO Etobicoke. I think officers in Etobicoke are concentrating somewhere else.
