PR card timeline (Etobicoke office only)

[rydeone]

I applied for the pr card on the 10 january and i linked my application to my gckey but it says submitted. When will it be approved? does anyone know?

My photos were delivered on January 15. I think we will see January applications shortly because of two reasons. First they heavily used confirmation portal in December. Second They didn't work full month in December. I believe we ll see January pr cards in one or two weeks.

Processing time is roughly 4 to 5 months. You can link your application to know the status.

Hi,

Please advise how to link application to my account.

Thanks

Congrats!!

I've small query.. In the COPR document, I see that we need to write the name and UCI number behind our photo. But, the photo card specification states that the studio's information should be written behind the photo. Please advise what all should be written behind the photos

I think so. It should have photo studio stamp with address and date.

Most of the photo studio will redo(for free) if the photos does not match the specifications. Please ask them to put a stamp.

Yes, Log in to your IRCC portal, on your home page, you will find a link "Did you apply on paper or don't see your online application in your account? Add (link) your application to your account to access it and check your status online."

Use that link, and choose the "Permanent Resident Card" option for What program did you apply for? Then follow the rest of the steps.

Most of them faced problems in entering the "Place of birth". Try entering the exact words given as per your GCMS notes or your passport.

If all done, you will be able to successfully link the application, and you can see it on your homepage.

Thank you!! Funny fact: I was able to link mine, but not my Boyfriend, that is the main applicant!

I sent two photos instead of one. because one has 69x50mm and other one has 70.5x50mm, not exactly 70mm. Hoping, they can pick any one of them.

Is it fine if, sending two photos. Will they accept?

Hello everyone,
I think the picture I submitted digitally yesterday won’t be accepted. Can I contact IRCC through the form and submit a new one?

Any particular reason for your suspicion? I hope you got it from professional photographer.

All it matters is : From where you got it?
If it is from some standard shops like, ProPassport Photos, Shoppers, UPS store etc... then it will be accepted.

I really don't think half a millimeter difference is what will get any photo rejected.

I took the call based on the google reviews and it seems to be professional for a very long time.

My shoulders don’t look straight. And the picture is almost all my face, with only the very top of my shoulders that is showing

Per your observations, the photo doesn't match the following specifications :
1. height of the face measures between 31 mm (1- 1/4 inches) and 36 mm (1- 7/16 inches) from chin to crown of head (natural top of head).
2. Taken straight on, with face and shoulders centred and squared to the camera (i.e. the photographs must show the full front view of the person’s head and shoulders, showing full face centred in the middle of the photograph).

I would suggest to show the photographer the specifications or redo it from other location who does PR card photos with acceptance guarantee.
