They actually removed the possibility of self made photos. At one point they even allowed selfies if they satisfy the criteria. https://web.archive.org/web/20230921202358/https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/pr-confirmation-portal.html Apparently...

Do not apply for Québec. It's a door to the world of pain and frustration. Just Google family reunification Québec and read the news. You'll likely endup waiting few years. In summary they halved the number of admissions for next two years and will enforced it via csq issuance. Even their...

Is your photo professionally taken? If it's correctly taken then there should be nothing to adjust. If it's not, there maybe dark or bright spots and no postprocessing will do it right. The lighting must be uniform, no shadows.

Literally two hours and three minutes between we got portal 2 email inviting us to submit photo and eCOPR. On a serious note there is no reliable time frame for virtual landing. From hours to months. Just wait.

About two hours...

After confirming your address, yes.

It is. Next step is to provide a picture and local address on a link that will be sent to you

Switching to virtual landing can be a real pain. It can be OK but many horror stories of months of waiting. On the contrary the plane tickets can often be changed for a relatively small fee depending on the tickets. I would suggest evaluating this option as this maybe cheaper in the end than for...

Absolutely no reliable timeline for that. BTW to get eCOPR the photo is not needed. We submitted the photo like a week after getting P2. But making the certification part got us eCOPR the same day.

Send them a request to cancel the owp application and request a refund. You'll get the owp fee and maybe processing fee as well (if they didn't even start) but it depends. If your wife is currently on implied status because of owp application, I'll wait for eCOPR since technically she isn't pr...

Dependent child`s eligibility never updates. It will stay "not started" even when your application will be approved and closed.

Where did you get the "last 10 years" part for pcc?

Since @armoured has already provided your with in the most complete answer possible, I would just add that it's better to post everything on forums rather than sending private message as this might help others in their quests. Hence my direct messages are disabled. You may tag a user if you wish...

Since the P1 usually asks for "Date of last time you entered Canada" you travel may invalidate it. Also my wife's P1 indicated a deadline of 7 days to reply. However, I'm not sure how strict they are. I don't know the nature of your travel (it might be very important), but I would personally...

About a year ago this was changed. Right now, if outland applicant is able to enter Canada (using TRV or is VISA-exempt), can apply for OWP. The OWP application grants PA a long-term status so he/she can live and work in Canada. The applicant must stay in Canada for the duration of the OWP...

CoPR is indeed a needed document for landing. They should have received this paper along with their passports. If they don't have it, this might create problems at the border. I would presume that immigration authorities have access to those documents but I'm not sure if they can provide a...

If he has an entry stamp and no end date indicated on it he's status is valid for six month, so you can just send a copy of the passport with the stamp page included. This should be enough. But normally this question is asked for inland applicants. Are you applying for inland processing? Keep in...

Length alone have no effect. We declared 6 months and got approved in no time. Strong profile with a consistent application is the key.

Unfortunately the pre-arrival is the most unreliable cue. I know few who waited over a year after pre-arrival, few got pre-arrival a day or two before PPR.

I agree with @scylla , you made grave mistakes in you application. It's just my humble opinion but: it seems to me that the officer is deliberately asking questions in the way that masks the most important problem with your application. There is just a hint that either you or your sponsor...
