I have applied for PR through CIC Express Entry.

I got an email last week requesting my passport and 2 photos.

Although my online application hasn't been updated, reading posts on this forum seem to indicate that this means my PR has been granted.

They received my passport and photos on Monday and I was just wondering if anyone knows what the approximate turnaround time is.

Thank you
 
Drawn from Express Entry pool: 10 July 2015
Full application for PR uploaded: 27 August 2015
Request letter for further details:15 September 2015
Further details sent off: Approx. 22 September 2015
Passport request letter: 13 January 2016
CIC received passport: 18 January 2016

If anyone has any information on how long it normally takes from when they receive your passport to getting it back, that would be amazing.

Thanks! :)
 
It hardly takes 5-7 days after PPR.

Good luck

Hi Nutshell,
I wanna ask you something regarding photos.
As you know we provide JPG photos when we submit our application online.
My question is, did you send the same photos' print-outs?
And what was the format of them (size)?
Can you please inform me?
I will post it so that people like us can use this valuable information.
Thanks in advance.
And congratulations! :)

You can use same pictures as long as it has been taken within 6 months. Also follow the instructions from CIC regarding size and color details as well as the fact that has to have the stamp from the photo studio. Must be hard copy pictures (non digital).

Did you see any changes to your account online yet? I just sent the passport today, was hoping to get it back in a week's time.
