So I managed to speak with the agents at IRCC just now. I believe they don't have any latest information - I was told that CIC is clearing backlogs of photographs received on the 12th of September - which was the case 10 days back as well.

PR card of My friend who sent his photos on 02/10/2017 has been approved yesterday. He doesn't know when CIC received the photos.

So, they started processing photo received in Oct.
 
help please........
landing on: Sept.30
sent new photos: Oct 13th
received :Oct 17th
Booked a flight to US on Dec.20 ,2017, I really don't want to cancel my flight.
Would you guys suggest that I may receive my firs PR Card before the 20th?
Thank you
 
Actually I should cancel my Dec 15th flight anyday soon! It’s obvious that I won’t receive my PR card sooner than that! They received my photos Oct 16th!!!!!!!!
Do not cancel as of now. They have already approved an application on 9th Nov whose photos were sent on 2nd Oct (must have received by 4th or 5th Oct). You should get your card by Nov end

Thanks so much the quick reply. The thing is if I apply for a travel document which takes 20 days+mailing time would that be too late waiting till end of Nov? I guess I can do Express which cost $50 more($120 application feel). Feeling CIC just a cash cow....

Hi,

Just one question: you landed on 30th Sept and sent new photos after 13 days. How did you come to know that the original photos were not as per the specs?
Thanks,

Hi,
Have you also linked her application to your myCIC account? Sometimes they take a few days more or less as each application including photos are processed independently.
