I had a photo re-take request on 14-Apr and I submitted it on the same day. Do we know what is the processing timeline for review of photo re-take request ?

From what I have seen, it usually takes around 3 months to process the PR Card when there is a request for a new picture. However, I was able to speed mine up after it passed the standard processing time. I reached out directly to the visa office processing my application using the initial PR portal e-mail address. Hope it is helpful. Good luck!

Did you receive the GU yet?

No, we received one GU on the same day when we linked PR in GC account. But that is also for an application which starts with 'E' and not with 'R'

I did the same thing, didnt get a reply back, processing time is beyond the standard 37 days. ECOPR generated date is March 7, no updates on portal or gckey.

Should be within a week but owing to the strikes, can't be sure of any timeline

Junior IRCC officers make between $71,599–$77,368 a year. With 4.5% increase they want, they'd make $81,706 - $88,289 in 3 years time.

I finally received my PR card since ecopr day of February 7th.

I provided by mistake my work/business address where I usually receive my packages instead of residential. Now wondering when they will reject the address before or after e-COPR issuance...?

Your mailing address does not have to be your residential address.

 

[hello2020]

Your mailing address does not have to be your residential address.

Thank you. You're right, however, there is also says it cannot be a business address, so I messed up)

Your CoPR will be issued only after the address is accepted
