If we do not receive the requested information within 30 days of the date above, your application for a permanent resident card will be considered cancelled.

If they have 6 weeks of backlog, how would this work. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Where the photos were taken doesn't matter, my original ones sent off before landing were from within Canada, same place PR application photos were taken and they requested new ones 2 months later so it's nothing to do with that. I'm still going with the theory that they are just so busy/disorganised that they simply lose lots so have to request new ones.

My new photos were received 7th Oct, I've been away so not sure if PR card has arrived yet, I can't link my PR card to my Gckey for some reason, it won't accept any combination of information, if they request a second time like that guy who landed in May I won't be sending any more pics until they explain why they were rejected.

please give us an update once you received the PR Card. you are right, it does't matter where you took the photos. Maybe CIC need to implement a better scanning system and speed up the card making process!

A thought for CIC!

Ideally they should take photos at the time of landing and use it. Since it will be the system they own, they should take the photos there and then only as per their specifications. That way, there will be zero resubmission request. In India, passport photos are taken at the location of application by the Govt only so that there is no question of photos being rejected.

Hello Folks,
I have update to share.. I sent photos for my parents through regular mail on 2nd Oct and they have started processing it. I recieved one of the card and waiting for other. Hope will get soon.

All Resubmitting the photo request journey was really frustrated as .. no clear instructions on,
1) If can use regular mail or tracking post
2) sending the photos for only requested person or whole landed family as specially another adults they consider individual application and send another photo request (which happens to me) so i sent another copy

but finally, here is the conclusion...
1) Use the tracking post to send photos for your record..
2) Even request come for 1 person, better to send all the family. Chances are you will save time on reprocessing...as i sent for both and they processes both of the cards rather than primary requested one...

Best of luck to all... this forum is really helpful ..

Hi,

Congratulations. But if the photo resubmission request comes for say individual 1 from a family of 3, and we send the new photos for all of 3, then what to do if after a few days, request for individual 2 or individual 3 comes?

Thanks.

Permanent Resident Cards
  • Courier address
    49 Dorchester Street
    Sydney, NS
    B1P 5Z2
Hi,

Is it ok to send the photos via courier to this address? Asking this because in the letter, they mention the address with PO Box and technically if one doesn’t send to that address, one is not complying with what is requested. Has any one sent to this courier address and seen their photos approved and PR cards also getting approved after that?

I'd not recommend sending the photos to any other address unless someone verifies it. Send it to the one on your letter. Where are you sending it from? If in Canada, send it via registered post. It reaches in 3-5 days and you can track it.
