Hi all. My family of 3 had our pictures and passport copies delivered on Jan 31, and now it seems we are the some of the few people still waiting for our application to be approved at CPC Ottawa. It has been 12 days, and most people's apps are processed much quicker than that - https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/passport-processing-tracker

Do I have reason to be concerned? We already booked our landing flights for end of March, which was probably a bit hasty, but what can we do. What might be cause of delay when most are approved so quickly. This whole thing, we've always been waiting longer than average...

Also, our pictures were taken at Walgreens, but I didn't have a lot of faith in the people helping us. The final products looked a little iffy. If the pictures get rejected, does it happen now, or after landing and while waiting for official PR card? Could bad pictures be cause for delay?

Not really but you should probably contact them.

Mostly at PR card stage. There have been a few rejection at this stage. But, in almost all cases the photos were 2x2 (US style) instead of CIC recommended dimensions.

Could bad pictures be cause for delay?
Highly unlikely
