Quick question. Considering there are significant delays with PR renewal, when is the right time to apply within the 9 month before expiry. If my 9 months till expiry start tomorrow, is it advisable to send this early or I should wait a bit longer? Also I took my pictures 3 months ago. I know they can't be older than 6 months, is it an issue to send 3 months old pictures?

Thank you in advance for your reply and hoping any of you who have sent right after the 9 month period can provide any comments.
I would send latest pictures. Just be safe.

CoPR received on June 16, 2020. PR photos sent on June 18, 2020 and received on June 19, 2020. It has been 4 months and there are no updates. This is the London office. Has anyone received their PR card from the London office?

I found there has been a ghost update on my linked first permanent resident card application on GC Key. Anyone knows what it means / how long it will take after a ghost update on a new permanent resident card application?

There is decision made on ecas .there is nothing about the PR card being mailed or no update on IRCC. Does that mean anything
