Anyone submitted their photos in April (by physical mail) still waiting? I've called them twice and they said that it is nothing to worry about. I don't know what to do, please help. I did not get the Portal invitation.
My copr date was 28 april 2021
Sent the photos on 30 April with express post
Reached ircc by 2 may. I linked the application on 13 may. Called ircc in late june. Agent told me the processing time is 133 days, call us if you dont receive the card by this time frame. What about now its only 44 days now huhh?? :D:D:DNo updates after that. I have been silently following the forum. Gives me hope when someone post regarding receiving the card.

Yes worst part is if we didn't submit our photos then, and submitted it now, we would have received it faster lmao. I am always wondering whether its only me, maybe they lost my application, or what not. Everytime I call IRCC they tell me to sit tight. I asked them if I should send the pictures again, they said no need.

Also, how did you link application if you sent the photos by mail? Could you please let me know?

I dont remenber exatly but as i sumbitted, it automatically gave me result “ one application found” and i was good to go. Funny thing it is only showing sumbitted from day one

Based on the timelines of others here, you will probably receive your PR Card by the end of September/October. They are mostly processing now photos received in March. Your photo probably only arrived there at the beginning of May, so unfortunatelly you still have few weeks of waiting time…

Called IRCC today..the agent took all the details (tracking number etc.) and said they have sent a note to Etobicoke office for status..the agent also mentioned that hopefully this will expedite my PR case processing (not sure how :rolleyes: )..she had no other details..
Anyone else received similar updates from IRCC??

They were working on March applicants still. End of last week is when I believe some people from April started to get GU. You good, I’m from begging of April and still waiting.
