No, I have not. My photos were also delivered to their office on April 25th, which was over 6 weeks ago. I called the IRCC this morning and the call agent refused to even open my file. She just said there is a delay and they are working on the new photos received in early April. I don't fully trust their information though. Some of the call agents don't hesitate to lie or say things that are not factual.edmonton1985 said:
Regarding the other question that why our photos were rejected, the only issue that comes to my mind is that my photo was perhaps not zoomed-in enough for the 5x7 cm size. Although the studio that took my photo is probably the most professional looking we have in our town, I think they may have left too much white space in the background. As the other user pointed out, it is not just about the size of the photo, but the proportion of it, the size from crown to chin, etc. are also important. I do believe they are being too picky, especially considering the fact that out photos are being scanned anyway. So the whole photo-resubmission issue does seem a little odd. I made sure the new photos were a bit bigger and the sides of my face filled the template picture they used. But who knows, they may reject these ones too and I will have to miss my trip. Oh well...
