I tried calling them today...but their lines are busy...so phone is automatically disconnect ed....my father is not well and I was hoping to travel asap if I hear from CIC...
I know what you mean. My flight is on the 25th of this month and if my card doesn't arrive by the 24th, I'll just have to apply for a PRTD. I hope your card arrives soon and that your father recovers quickly. Best regards.

It will show submitted and then approved and then finally approved and please check from what day your pr card validity starts. Add 7 days from the validity from date and that would be your pr card receiving day. Looks like IRCC people are having a joint. That's why ghost updates are normal these days. October 17 420
Great! Thank you for your reply.

Just called the CIC agent and she confirmed that my dependents cards have been already printed and sent out and I might receive it by the end of this week... but my card will be delayed as the delay was due to printing and I might receive it by the last week of August..... she was not sure the reason...all cards have been approved and no photo were requested..

This is also confirmed by my CIC account status as submitted rather than approved but all of my dependents statuses changed to approved.

A quick question: I only see my name and PR card document number, I don't see my wife's card issuance details there. Do I assume that hers is also printed? Does IRCC just list the primary applicant and we assume that the dependents' card have also been printed?

Anyone else with similar timelines/situation? The wait is really frustrating especially because they don't even specifically tell you why the photos are being rejected.

June 21, inland from Montreal and still waiting for an update. Just got off the phone with CIC and they say there's been no movement on my application because of the backlog but no photo request or anything on it too, so just sitting tight and hoping I won't need to apply for a PRTD for our return to Canada from vacation. *fingers crossed*

We got the Ghost Update today!

Landed: 24 April 2018
Photo Request: 7 June 2018
Photos Received: 4 July 2018
Ghost Update: 14 August 2018

I had to call IRCC yesterday because things were simply not moving. Calling them definitely makes them pull up and look at your application.
