I am in the same boat.

Landing in toronto - 25th Jan
New photo request - 7th March
New Photos delivered - 15th March (as per fedex tracking).

No update after that..
It seems they are processing photos received on 8th March .... so a few more days for 15th March photos to be looked at.

Hey thanks pranab24, how did you come to know about the 8th March date ?
:) Just by looking at how many days it is taking other folks in this forum to get their PR cards approved - which is 18-19 days after CIC receives the additional photos. In some corner case scenarios I have seen otherwise, but majority follow this rule.
Also, my own photos reached on 5th March and my PR card got approved on 23rd March (18 days). My wife's photos reached on 8th March and her PR card got approved today (19 days).

Hence my conclusion of 8th March.

Did you call them and they gave you this information?
No, calling them and asking for processing date will get you an answer of 16th Feb. But if your application has been received in March and has got approved, they will confirm that. I know it is stupid and they realize it too, but the contact center has no other info to give.

I think you should not worry till they ask you for more additional photos. I had a chat with the contact center person and he mentioned that some cases could be delayed (maybe yours is one). However, if they are not happy with the photo they will keep asking you till they get the right pic.

If you have to travel out and get in Canada again, you can easily get the PRTD doc. So don't worry .... good luck

Yes, i have also waited for 30min or more to chat with an agent. I am in the UK right now, so my call does not connect if i call thru a normal phone. I used to use Google Hangout call ... which is free. Used to walk away and finish other stuff while the wait time is on :)

Hi sudeep1201,

Have you heard anything regarding the photos which you had sent ?

When was your photos delivered and what is the current status of your application ?
Hey apurvgaurav,

My CIC account was updated yesterday, indicating that my PR card application has been approved.

So now I'm just waiting it to be delivered.

Hope you also get the good news soon.
