Hello, I landed on Feb 22, 2019, so I too can expect some communication from IRCC in next 2 weeks. Can you please let me know how did you receive the photo request? Did you get any letter in mail or did you get email/account update?

Email at spouse's email address.

Landed In Calgary on March 10. I could not add the PR card status to my CIC page. It was saying "couldn't find application". I submitted a IRCC request from CIC page but they suggested nothing. Any ideas on what should I do?

Thank you.

My problem was the city , on the copr it has also the state after the name of the city and I was only adding the city of birth on the form on mycic. So, I added exactly how it is on my copr and found the application

Any idea by when can I expect PR card for myself. I am based in Toronto.

Also does ghost update necessarily means approved all the time?

Wow! Can't believe it! My family & I landed on Feb 22, 2019 and this morning when I checked, all the 3 PR Card application status shows as "Application/profile updated"

I hope it gets changed to "Approved" soon. Really excited that our photos got accepted in first chance. We got the photos from Walgreens in USA and I was really concerned for the quality of the photos.

@Others -- Can someone please confirm if "Application/profile updated" status means IRCC has accepted the photo?

 

[adigautam]

No, as long as photos are of good quality. Not all Walgreens the same. Personally, I've tried 2 different Walgreens, but both photos of their photos got rejected. Their photo quality was worse than the one taken by an iPhone. We had to drive 1.5 hours one way to the nearest city to get a professional photographer specializing in international passport/visa photos.

Thank you for writing back, our PR Card status got changed to "Application/profile updated", can you please confirm if this means our photos were accepted by IRCC?

Anyone on the same boat or has any advice? Landed 12/1, photos request 01/09, photos received 01/11. I call 888 number almost every week, filed a complaint, raised two web requests and received a generic response each time (we forwarded your information to the appropriate department, they will contact you only if they need additional information).
Is there anything else I can do? This is beyond frustrating. Spoke with an agent this morning again, and was told to wait. I don't understand why this is happening. Are they doing background check on me or did they lose my photos/application?

Most likely your photos were accepted and sent for production. This is because I didn't get "profile updated" status when the photos were rejected. Profile was updated after acceptance and once again after approval. Check your profile in the next 2 days to confirm.
Applications are moving fast these days.

Yes There might be a chance they lost your photos. My wife and kids cases were worse. We landed in August and didnt have photos request until January. Just got every ones cards this month, so totally more than 6 months. Sometimes some applications just slip thru the cracks. I hope you get your card soon but just in case prepare for longer wait.
