I was a new migrant in skilled worker category and after landing in Canada, I was requested to submit photos for my PR card stating in the letter which I received from Canada Imm that My photos are not fulfilling the specific requirement. I submitted the same photos which I posted when I applied my application.

After discussing with my uncle, he suggested me a photo studio which is very famous for his photography and the photographer knows exact size for specific requirement set by Canada Immigration and I had two photos from that photographer. I was sure that this time immigration will accept these photos and I will get my PR card soon.

After a week, I received a letter saying that you need to submit 2 photos again because the photos I have sent by post is not fulfill the requirement.
and now you need to bring your two photos with specific size in person not by post.
I been to Canada Immigration office in person and submitted them.

The day after my submission, I received my PR card by post in my mail box......
Now tell me how silly this Canadian Immigration????????????????
I have doubt about their working potential and working system. before moving to Canada, I was in Australia on student visa for three years and I like the way Australian works...........

Why not present the facts, without calling CIC "silly", phrase it as a helpful suggestion on how to improve efficiency, and send it to the Minister's office?

since they finally they gave you the PR card - you should be grateful, why call them silly? What you mentioned above is no big deal at all, in third world countries one can experience much much worse situations. Anyway, enjoy your life in canada i believe its a great country, (or so i heard) ..
