How can i get the stamp for the digital photo?

You are supposed to get your photo taken at a pro studio, authorized to take photos fir passport, or cards, etc. They stamp the back of the printed card.

Hi all, my application status in now Approved as of Friday afternoon! However, I have not yet received any letter, correspondence or an official COPR letter. Is anyone else also in this situation? Any idea how long a wait there usually is between the application being approved in the IRCC system vs. receiving the COPR letter?

Thank you for creating the help document on get gcms notes website. It's very informative. I have a question rather a dilemma, my medicals expired in November 2020 and in my cic account the medical status says, 'You do not need medical exams. We will send you a message if this changes". I have received the gcms notes after my medical exam expired, the analyst has mentioned re-assessment is required but I could not find any notes by the officer stating that it has been sent for re-assessment, is this normal? or asked to to re-meds until now. I have asked the call center agents too but they could not find any information regarding medical exam in gcms. Should I inquire about it via webform? Will the webform be escalated to the visa officer to whom my file is assigned? Is there a timeframe for the officer to respond back? I am also worrying about re-med request because the earliest appointment for medical exam is available after Sep 2021 in the province.

Also, two of my friends who applied for PR through consultants advised them that if an applicant inquires too frequently about the status of their application by call or by submitting webforms then the application assigned to an officer goes down in his/her queue, is this true? could you please advise?

I have completed 8 months of processing time and have not received any update after my biometrics were processed in Sep 2020.

Following is the current status of my application as per the gcms notes generated on Jan-22:

Eligibility: Recommended Pass
Medical Exam: Pass - Expired - Nov-2020
Criminality: Passed - 24-Sep-2020
Info Sharing: Complete
Security: Not Started

It happened to me as well. I got same request two months ago. Submitted the documents, then a long silence with two ghost updates. Nothing more yet.

I got Schedule A + CV request on Feb 1.
Two ghost updates (reviewed my ADR and passed criminality) and long silence as well.
At this stage (almost 2 months after ADR), I am pretty sure mine got sent for security screening if not comprehensive.
Everyone is different, some were asked for the same thing just to check whether you are still in Canada and COPR soon.
Good luck!

My AOR was Jul 14th, sent Schedule A on Mar 6th. Same here, no any update. Have you tried to call CIC? I plan to order GCMS notes to see what's going on. Almost two months waiting, that's awful.

My AOR was Jul 4th. I called CIC only to find out that they have started my Security after ADR on Feb 21.
Your case might be different, maybe they just want to finalize your file.
All the best!

I've ordered CBSA notes and they've asked for an extension for another 30days, sigh...
Then I've ordered another set of GCMS notes, hasn't arrived yet....
