Hello all and @legalfalcon ,
I have question regarding PR card. there was a typo error in my COPR. That is my country of birth is male. And my sex is India. And my address on the COPR was wrong. Half of it was mine and the rest was of my representative’s. My representative told me to mail the photos with an explanation and correct address to mail it me. I did that but now I am afraid that will i get those or not. Is there any way that i can figure out that they considered my explanation or not? I mailed it on 14th may. I dont have access to online portal as my representative has its access.
Eagerly waiting for your reply.
Thank you.
It varies from the kind of information you are requesting to be amended, and the workload at the OSC.
i just received my PR card today and to my surprise, the hand written explanation did work for me. The information is right on my PR card and it got delivered on my residential address. I am glad that i dont have to get into any more hustle but thank you too for your help @legalfalcon.

It doesn't get printed in Vancouver. All cards are shipped from CPC-Sydney.

Yesterday I received an update in the portal with a rejection message exactly like rejection message exactly like what felix-m received, giving me 30 days to resubmit new photos. I guess in my case it's because I took the photos myself, although of a similar professional quality. I will be submitting new photos by going to London Drugs.

Have anyone had success with submitting photos that you take yourself, fulfilling all photo requirements except "taken by a commercial photographer"?

Congrats and any idea when was your card approved ?
if you didn't link application then your expiry date will give you idea when was it approved
