I landed on 27 May 2015 at the BC border. On Tuesday (13th October) I received a letter saying that my photos had been rejected and needed to be resent. That's nearly five months of waiting...

I'm noticing a pattern here on this forum with a lot people who landed from late May to early June receiving this letter claiming their photos were rejected. What makes it even stranger is that it takes so long for CIC to send out the letter. Is it just me or did CIC perhaps mess up in some way with the May/June batch and are now trying to cover it up with this rejected photo stuff?

Maybe.. I've read of a post somewhere saying that the person received a photo retake letter and 2 weeks later received his pr card with the old pictures. CIC works in mysterious ways :)

I did my landing on 22 Aug. on Rainbow bridge and I asked to immigration agent, he told me that they send my PR cards on Oct.8 2015 but I didn’t get yet in mail box.
But He is not sure for which office my cards are issued.
Please tell me your card come from where? Means which address?
Which type of mail service they use? Like normal or express post or courier
Please and I appreciate your response.

Please give me suggestions

"You entered Canada at the Lester B Pearson International Airport, Terminal No. 3 office on May 6, 2015 and became a Permanent Resident."

I changed my address on the middle of July.
I enter there 2 weeks ago and the address was changed, so I assume that they saw the application.

It's complete, but where is my PR Card?
:(

Guys -

I have landed on Aug-26. we recieved PR cards of my Family. But mine was missing. So i waited for one week & i called CIC care.

CIC care generated the letter & asked me to send photo graphs.

I didn't understand why they didn't do untill i ask. I am hearing the similar cases, but PR cards still received with old photographs.

Is it CIC just buying time or they really need photographs. Anyway i am going to send new photographs. But i am furious to know about these cases? Can anyone comment on this?

That person was me lol. I am out of town and they sent a letter asking me to come in person. I told them give me some time to apply for the travel document because I just left the country. Instead of doing that they decided to use my old pictures and send the card lol.

Very True. My wife Landed on June 03 at Calgary Airport. She was also asked to re-submit her pictures with the COPR copy they sent along.
Photos sent and received at Sydney yesterday.
Did you send your photos? keep updating me.

Can you please tell the specifications for sending the new photos. Does it have to be stamped with the address of the studio. Is it ok if the photos are taken outside canada?
