I am waiting for my card to be received so meanwhile thought of sharing two links to check what's the processing time for canada post to deliver standard mails from source to destination. It looks reliable as I have been following posts from people who have received their cards.

for source postal code we need to provide Sydney, Nova Scotia and I found some postal codes here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/case-processing-centre-sydney-nova-scotia.html you can select one of them based on your case

***Update ***
Landed: 21st September
Approved: 21st November
Delivered : 30th November (delivered to my neighbor's mailboxo_O he just gave it to me)

I just couldn't be happier :) just hang in there, your cards will be delivered soon. Don't forget to ask your neighbors if your card is undelivered for a long time. Good luck!
Did your mail envelope say "DO NOT FORWARD"? I ight need to do mail forward to a new address and Canada post doesnt allow dorwarding for any mails stating that. Could you tell me please?

We've got photo request for all the applicants - me, spouse and daughter. the reason clearly is the photos were taken more than 6 months prior.. (when we got our PPR). we landed quite late ( close to COPR expiry), so we were meant to get a photo request. have couriered the photos today. guess will only get the cards by Jan 2019, since dec end will be holidays..

If this is true then this is so stupid. That photo is going to be on that PR card for 5 years, what difference do a few months make? Also they should then not issue COPR for more than 6 months or should request new photos for somebody who landed after 6 months.

I landed just inside of 6 months - they should have requested new photos at the time of landing since they already know it takes more than 50 days to process PR cards. Honestly, waiting for PR cards has been the most frustrating part of the whole process. I will be livid if I get photo requests for this reason.

Landed Oct. 9th. I just received an email requesting me to submit 2 new photos, because the photos I originally submitted didn't meet the specifications.

After we submit new photos, is there any way to verify CIC received them? I'm thinking of sending new photos with regular mail, but would like to have the confirmation that it didn't get lost or whatever.

Yes, when you post it you'll receive a tracking number and you'll be able to confirm that it was delivered.
