Well a photo request means a completely different route. The time taken for cases where there are photo requests is way more than those who get their cards processed straight through. I dread receiving a a photo request after waiting for 61 days. That would mean another month or more.Landed: 30 Aug 2018
Photo Request: Oct 12th
Photo Received: Oct 15th
Approval: Under process (89 days and counting)
We have people who came 1 month after me already have their PR card.
To say, IRCC is unfair would be an under statement.
