Hi, just as an FYI. After having waited for my PR Card replacement since June of last year, I received an email last week saying my photos were too dark. I called the BS and said they probably lost them. I then talked to others who had received similar emails for photos not meeting specifications.

Anyway, I thought they had just lost my photos and used that excuse. Turns out, when taking my new photos I found out from the guy at WWFS Photo Centre in Scarborough (awesome place, great price, and service btw) that they actually changed the photo specs on Jan 4 which has pissed him off because people think that the photos were not good enough.

So, instead of admitting to their change of specs, they come up with an excuse so they don't have to reimburse the applicants...

Effing hate CIC.

Anyway, will be resubmitting on Monday, hopefully I will get my new PR card before a year has passed....
