Dear colleagues,

I along with my wife and two kids (4 years and 1 year) landed in Vancouver at the end of December 2009. After couple of days, we returned back to England to complete my study. I gave the postal adress of my relative in canada while lnading. My relative in canada already received three PR cards but not of my son. At the begining of April 010, immigration office in Vancouver sent a letter mentioning that my son should be attend in person to retake photo.

Right now, I am outside canada and also not possible to come back within another 10 months.

I need suggestion in the following two questions:

- Is it possible to submit the photos of my son through my relatives in canada?
- If not, how can I bring my son with me when I come back to canada next year?
- What happen if my son missed the photo retake deadline (i.e. 180 days)? and the status of his PR card?

Thank you very much. Hope, I will get your feedback.

No.

Unless he is a citizen of a visa exempt country , you will have to apply for a travel document for him. http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/united_kingdom-royaume_uni/visas/travel-documents-perm-titres-voyage.aspx?lang=eng#apply

- What happen if my son missed the photo retake deadline (i.e. 180 days)? and the status of his PR card?

You will have to submit a new application for a PR card for him, pay the fee, and pick it up at CIC. Processing time now about 98 days.

Thank you very much. Hope, I will get your feedback.
