So I received another email from the embassy asking for another 4 pictures. The guy from the photo studio took the pictures exactly how they asked for them. I have 15 days to send them again.
I'll have to go today to take them, so I could send it as soon as possible.

Hey Catherine,

How many pictures do they usually ask for?
This is the second batch I will send, the last ones I sent were a week ago.

Just once because they change size. They just need two and after the others they send them back with your file and passport. Maybe it was something wrong with the pic you sent. It should be just that!

Have a look before to send it to ensure that the size of the face also is the right size.

No worries.They wanted updated pictures and proof of relationship from us as well. Not sure why they wanted more proof since we sent in a huge binder full of pictures and letters of proof. But what I was told by my immigration lawyer was that some times they just like to pick a few files and try and make sure everything is still in good standing with the relationship.

This was all most a month ago that I sent those documents in and no word yet if they have them or if everything is ok.

Thanks for sharing that information, I'm planning to send them on Saturday so it arrives to the VO on Monday. Have you tried asking for GCMS notes? I think that they are very useful, just to see how the process is going. My husband asked for them before yesterday, he didn't want to wait for the end of the month.

No I have not asked for gcms notes. Not sure how to go about it really . I have a immigration lawyer I'm not sure if he has to do it or if I can.

It finally came! PPR! My husband got a call today from the embassy. Apparently, they were supposed to send our PPR a while ago with the last batch of requests but they never did. He has to land in Canada before August 23! Looks like we'll be there sooner than we thought. It took us exactly 12 months from application submission to landing in Canada. I wish you all the best of luck. Hang in there!

That's awesome, congrats jorlando. I'm glad everyone is receiving good news!

No I have not asked for gcms notes. Not sure how to go about it really . I have a immigration lawyer I'm not sure if he has to do it or if I can.

Josh, GCMS are notes that you order online to see how your case is going.
It takes about 30 days to receive them by email or mail.
You can ask for them or your lawyer.
