I hope it's all positive for is for the new year .....August aor is too slow comparatively because we expected to get PPR in Dec and they got really slower at this time of the year and processing for next year .....i wish everyone all the best! PPR in the new year to all !
From what I read Ottawa is getting slower due to increased number of applications, I hope I am wrong though.

I hope too ! But we all are anxious as there is not even a single update after medical as it is more than 4 months now we and our file is still untouched . Each passing day it's making us more tensed. Let's hope in January there will be some update .

Waiting impatiently too! But I guess we can’t do anything until after the holiday so let’s enjoy the festive season instead!

Hey everyone, since a bunch of you already got PPR emails, figured someone went through this and can help.

I am trying to arrange for the photos needed to send along with the passport for the Visa after PPR (not the digital one post-ITA). Can anyone suggest where I might be able to get them to the required specs (50*70mm or 2*2 3/4 inches) in U.S? I have tried all the Costcos, Walgreens, Walmarts and Fred-Meyers (Krogers) around me (Olympia,WA). None of them seem to be able to do what's required. Walgreens says it can click the picture to specs but doesn't have the cutting tool needed for the size, same with Fred-Meyers. Costco apparently doesn't have Canada as an option in its system at all. There were several people on other threads that suggest Costco. Are there any special directions (in their system, i.e) I can give them that will help them produce the photos according to the required specs?

Any help is appreciated.

Why not cut it to prefered specs? Let them print a little bigger then simply cut it to desired spec .. and thats it?

Thought as much. Only problem, they don't have a cutter with a ruler on them apparently! So, I would have to buy one specifically for this. But I guess that's the last resort. Thanks though.

Hi Pranay,

I went through the same challenge and posted about it earlier in the forum. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a good answer to this. I had to hunt locally a lot to find someone. If you do not mind, what city are you located in? I might be able to help. The larger chains will be of no use. You’ll have to find a local photographer.

Thank you. In am in olympia, WA. There's apparently one photographer around that can do it, but he is on a vacation for a whole month. I guess I could try Walgreens and then cut it to size, if all else fails.

Ah, ok. I know a few places in LA but I guess you’re just too far from there!
