Mine were dated sometime in August. They are at max 5 months old. But I got a request anyways.LDRLDM said:
Hi I also just got this request from my CIC that I reply to an email that does not exist! I am having trouble finding the place to upload the document on MyCIC, could you help me in figuring out where it is that I upload it onto my account? Thank you so much!Joyce_tosf said:
In anticipation of your PR Card, they need the most recent ones. Your previously submitted photos will be more than 6 months old by the time your PR Card is issued. Don't worry about the pictures. They ain't gonna request them if they don't need 'em.knowledge101 said:
My husbands were done middle of September right before we sent in his application, and he too has to do new ones and send them in as well.knowledge101 said:
It's not all bad news! I have read that even non visa exempt PPR requests have a less than 1 week turn around time. I believe we literally would have our COPR mailed back within 1-2 business days from when they receive it. Personally for me an extra week or two isn't a big deal so I am just going to do FedEx ground both ways. Right now it cost me $20 USD to ship to Canada via FedEx ground and return is $16 USD thanks to the currency exchange. Round trip was $36. I printed them on Fedex.com. Priority was somewhere around $100-$150 EACH WAY so for me $36 sounds much nicer than $300. In all honesty I have shipped things to Canada and Fedex Ground only takes 3 business days so its not a big deal really. If you're in a rush you could pay the premium for priority but I'd rather save that money for other things than to get my COPR 2 days earlier. Now I just need to figure out where I can get the passport photos done to spec...will try USPS tomorrow!Stevin said:
Hello everyone, we're in the same boat with the same confusing email! Our photos were done in September, but....knowledge101 said:
Do they actually care what address it's coming back to for the prepaid envelope? Like does it have to be the PA's address? Or when the time comes, can I just have it sent to my husband's house in Ontario? We left the photos with my husband to expedite mailing them off if it would come to that (which, there's no way it won't, as I had my original photos done in July before you guys did). His mom works for Canada Post so it's much easier for her to mail stuff than it is for me to get stuff mailed from here. Also, aside from the photos and the copy of the passport (and the return envelope) is there anything else that needs to be included? I've seen people in the past mentioning needing to include a copy of the PPR e-mail.knowledge101 said:
1) It lists it right there in the email:sweethunkUSman said:
That's an interesting option. That very well may work.knowledge101 said:
Well the point is the website makes them to the proper specifications and it will give you 4 photos of that exact spec on a 4x6. Just printed it today for 29 cents! Going to cut them and write the proper info on the back and mail them in today, wish me luck! This way any photography studio would only need to take the picture for you if you didn't want to do it yourself and they can use that website to generate the passport photos for you. Only option at this point honestly...danawhitaker said:
I asked someone from another group. The address doesn't need to be the same with what they have on file. So if you fill up a different address in the Annex A form, they will send the COPR there and later your PR card too (if you don't update it).danawhitaker said:
