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?

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.

Wow this really sucks. I'm glad you finally got your cards. Did you try calling them/raising web request or did you just wait?

I know it can differ but generally about how long does it take for the card to arrive once it's been mailed?

Thank You! Yes, for this time, I am really lucky I was very concerned on the quality of the photos as they were taken in Walgreens and the person was not a professional photographer. He himself had made it clear he has not done it before and the risk of rejection will be on us.

I am glad the photos were accepted and not just one of them, all of them, really lucky & happy. Waiting for the cards to arrive.

I clicked from London drugs so I don’t know will it be accepted or not . Worried

Hi everyone, finally after 5.5 months today I got my cards.

October 9 Landing in Lewiston. Have been living in Canada 5 years.
Dec 3 Photo resubmission request - The letter got to our attorney on the 17th of December
Dec 20th Photos delivered - Used Fedex
Feb 28th attorneys got an email that cards were mailed
March 5th Cards actually mailed (date on the stamp)
March 10th delivered to Canada (different address than CIC told us they mailed to).
March 19th delivered overnight to the US

A few things to note for those of you in the process. Because we did everything through an attorney since this was a corporate sponsorship, we could not track ANYTHING online as most people do here.

Also, we requested that all info (photo resubmission and cards) were mailed to our Canadian address.

First photo resubmission was sent to attorneys, not our address -got to them 15 days late-

Attorneys emailed us that they got notice of CIC having mailed our cards to them (attorneys). 15 days looking for the cards. THey were sent to our OLD address in Oakville.

So just for information purposes. We had the email from CIC saying what mailing address they used and they used a different one.

I have been traveling in and out of Canada for the past 5 months via Buffalo. Some people have asked about this. I rented a car every time. Just answer shortly and honestly at the border. I crossed with passport and CoPR. In some cases they did not even look at the CoPR. Zero issues at boarder. My kids traveled with school for hockey on a rented coach bus and no issues either.

Good luck everyone! So glad this nightmare is over.
