I would recommend just filling out a new paper application, new photos and sending it in. You probably don't need to pay the fee again. I did my soft landing in 2020 at the height of COVID-19 pandemic and never got my PR card. Finally made plans to move to Canada. In Nov 2021, submitted new paper applications along with new photos and $50 receipts. Yesterday, got the notification that my PR card has been mailed and today got an email that they will be refunding the $50.
Did not know I could even do that. More depressing knowing I have to wait longer. Will try this and see how it goes. Have nothing to lose beyond $50. Just hate no one gives you exact answers.

Were new photos requested because its closer to 5 months. IRCC holds up the application and then expect us to run around again. Are you uploading Photos or mailing it to IRCC Novascotia - Sydney.
First of all why it took 5 months (after decision made) is the main doubt here. The letter we received said 'photos not matching the requirements'. Nothing specific. And we can only send by mail. No option to upload online.

Hello Vignesh, my wife's status is very similar to what you have updated above.

  1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on October 4, 2021.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on December 9, 2021.
  3. We started processing your application on December 9, 2021.
Status changed to 'Decision Made' almost 5 weeks back and no updates since then. My kid and myself received our PR cards 4 weeks back though all applications were sent as one package.

Can you please let me know the URL for webform?

Nothing happens without the will and desire of Orwellian Triple Hermetic Secret Worshippers. If your PR card is not being printed, don't listen various excuses, but know that it is so desired, that you shall go without PR card. What is PR card for? Mainly for travel outside of Canada, so you can return to Canada. Thus, logical conclusion is that the feudal lords/slave owners don't want you get out of Canada, they want you permanently chained to Canada. Who else will pull the rickshaws on the streets of Toronto and Montreal?
