PR card Photos....

[tarekcanada]

Hello,

I have heard that the photos used for the PR card application at the time of landing are those attached on the COPR, and that they will not ask for new photos, correct?

I have received our COPR for 3 persons, myself, my wife and my 1 year old child.... the photos attached to the COPR were the ones sent at the time of the initial application (my child's photo taken when he was 1 week old, now its more than a year)... so when we do our landing, if they are going to use same photos attached to the COPR for the PR cards , then they will not be according to their specifications (as photos are older than 12 months and my child has changed sine then), our photos also have march 2011 written on the back.

So can i give them new photos in the airport at the time of landing according to their specifications, would they accept them.

Thank you

No Photos are required at immigration time for PR cards. I am not sure if you offer them new photos, they will accept them or not, but no harm in trying. A friend of mine who landed in May 2011, got his daughter PR card after a year because of old photo issue. In hinge sight he also thought of providing new photos at time of landing

I did carry latest photos with me and asked the IO whether the photos on the COPR are ok or he wants me to provide new photos, he told me that the photos on the COPR should be ok as he don't see any issues.

Any one knows how much time Embassy take to return passport with visa and COPR to Karachi

@ the time I applied for visa, my baby was very small and My wife's face was full of swelling and dark brown ratiese mark. I sent the current pics at that time of application but now wife's face is cleared and there is no mark and swelling. She looks like a different Person from that pic I provided with application and my Son has also grown up to. I'm also worried that the pics I have provided on initial stage would be different form now!!

I will carry some latest pics during landing time and request to IO to put new pics on PR card coz there is no harm to try/ask. PR process is very lengthy and we all had waited very long, I would prefer hassle free life in terms of immigration formality after landing. I Might not be happy to wait for my son's PR card for a year after landing like ankit_20's friend!!

well my concern is not only the lengthy procss, but the fact that if the photos were not according to their specifications, they will not process the PR cards and ask you to submit new photos most likely in person so if you were not in Canada at the time, you have to find a way to travel back again just to give them the photos....
In my case our photos have the same measurements they want exactly, but the only problem is that they are more than 12 months old, as the date is already written on the back as March 2011 (its shown from the backside of the CoPR form)... so i will be giving the IO the new photos at the POE, he'd better take them or else i'll be in all sorts of problems..

If anyone has had the experience where s/he has given the IO new photos at time of landing and they accepted them instead of the ones on the CoPR, please share this with us.

Thank you

Yes you need to send photographs, they will specifically ask for it when they send a request for Medical, RPRF, PCC

Actually they never asked for photos at this stage in my case... only the passports, funds, RPRF and updated shedule1.... They did not ask for more photos, so i did not send any....

I'm done with our medical last month and CHC request only PP,RPRF and PCC. They never asked for new photos...I recommend to stick with what ever is requested and need not to be over smart during file processing (it can delay the processing) but we can request for a updated/recent pic on PR card @ landing port.
