Watch out for the photo spec. are different between the application and the PPR. The photo spec. for the application wants 31 to 36mm from chin to crown, the PPR one wants 25 to 30mm from chin to crown.

HELP!!!!

I received my PPR August 24th. Sent my Passport + Photos on the 25th and it was received by Ottawa on the 26th.

However, my myCIC is STILL in progress - it has not changed to "APPROVE".

It seems to me that people who delivered their passport later than me are already seeing the "APPROVED" in their myCIC.

Am I screwed? Is there any reason why CIC would refuse my application AFTER I got the PPR???

I am freaking out guys...

Are you visa exempt or not? It usually takes longer for people who are not visa exempt since they have to stamp the visa onto your passport.

I have the exact timeline, received PPR on the 24th, sent package on the 25th and it was delivered on the 26th. I'm even in Ottawa!
From what I've noticed, myCIC doesn't change to approve until they finish the entire process, then same day at night tracker is activated after PPs been picked up. It's Friday already and nothing changed this morning, so probably we will not hear back until Tuesday after the Labor Day long weekend!!

I am NOT visa exempt, I am originally from Brazil so I need a visa. Well let's hope everything is fine?

Ok well, that makes me a tad calmer - knowing that someone on the same timeline as me hasn't seen a change. Let's keep each other update.
I have a trip planned for October 1st and really need my passport by then.

Have you heard of any complications post PPR?

Speaking about travel, my spouse was supposed to be on a plane this Sunday - obviously this is not gonna happen.... paying more money to change the ticket and try the next weekend hoping that PPs will be back by then. You should be fine with Oct. 1st! Looking at the pattern it takes about 10 days to get PPs back so technically we didn't reach that limit.

Never heard of any complications post PPR other than someone his PP got lost for week in its trip back to him. Honestly, my worry is PPs got lost in CIC office!!

YAY! Mine is weird, in the first page it says "APPROVED" (WOOT WOOT) now but when I click in it it still shows "Open" and "In Progress" - maybe just a technical glitch?

Do you mind letting me know when you tracker gets activated? It really seems we are in the same timeline.
I am in Van tho so mine may take some time to arrive, where you at?

No tracker has been activated yet, so I guess they will be out after the labor day holiday!!
I'm in Ottawa!

I guess the system might experience technical issues as I've noticed a message says that the on line tool is experience some delays.....
