hey guys, my wife's a may 1 applicant and we just received a PPR from Vienna. AOR2 was Aug 2. I have a question regarding the COPR photos..
if i'm reading this correctly we DONT need to send them new photos (we sent two copies when we submitted our application). The SA approval was done in CPC Mississauga and then transferred to Vienna for the applicant. Here is what the PPR says:
Two Passport-sized photographs as per Canadian norms
These photos will be used for your IMM-5688 form and for your Permanent Resident Card after your arrival in Canada. Please note that IRCC requirements for photographs differ from those of the European Union. Our photograph specifications can be found at
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf. Depending if you already provided photographs or where you submitted your application, you may have to submit photos.
a) You have to submit photos if:
o You submitted your application online (such as under Express Entry)
o You submitted a physical paper application to one of the Case Processing Centres in Canada (in Sydney, Nova Scotia, in Ottawa or Mississauga, Ontario) and your file was primarily processed there or it was transferred for processing at any other IRCC offices worldwide other than the Embassy of Canada in Vienna.
o You submitted a physical paper file application which was transferred and processed primarily at the Embassy of Canada in Vienna, without photos or with photos of incorrect specifications or with photos older than six months.
b) You may not need to submit photos if you submitted a physical paper application less than six months ago with passport-sized photographs matching the requirements above to one of the Case Processing Centres (CPC) in Canada (Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia, CPC-Ottawa, CPC-Mississauga) and you were informed that your file had been transferred for processing to the Embassy of Canada in Vienna.
Please if anyone can help out that would be appreciated! its been a looong wait and im glad its almost over, hang in there those who are waiting and stay positive!
thanks!
