Some visa offices have their own standards. Did your PPR say anything about any photo specifications?

I just found the link with the photo specifications in a foot note within the letter. I guess I missed it the first few times I read it because there's just sooo much information in it .
Now writing CIC to see where to send our passports. We are not in Canada nor USA and we don't have a local visa office in our home country :

Which country are you presently in? Not all countries have visa offices hence they are grouped under other country's visa offices. Check the link below to locate your country's visa office:

I'm in the Dominican Republic. Applications with the previous system were processed by the visa office in Mexico, I can send the passports to either office (Ottawa or Mexico) without any problems I just don't see why I should be sending it to Mexico if Ottawa was the processing office in the first place. I guess I will have to wait to see what they say...

You will have to send it to Mexico, Ottawa is for only inland applicants. CIC will let you know,.

My ECAS truned to decision made on Sep 26. I called CIC a few times to inquire about the decision. I was not given a specific "approval" response but told that it will be "most likely positive".

I have also been told that the ECAS doesn't always mean decision has been made. Usually, it means everything is complete and the VO will take a decision soon.

Regarding PPR, I am told that, it is sent in batches. And that's why we saw so many people getting their PPR's on Sep 25.

Other than that, we have to wait and watch.
Good luck.

To those who got PPR last week:

My PPR letter did not mention anything about the photos being signed and dated by the photographer; I did not receive the link with the photo requirements that other members have either, is this the same for you guys?

Thank you and congratulations again!

Congrats for your PPR.
