landed on 3rd october no news yet. mycic says the additional documents you provided are being reviewed. never provided any additional documents and no photo request.
Almost similar landed on 5 oct and additional docs being reviewed status since 13 days .. neither approved nor any photo request .. worried
I suggested you to give a call to CIC to check if you need to re-take the photo. I landed on Oct 4 at Kingston Bridge.
The friends who landed together with me have received their PR cards on this Monday, so I just called CIC on Tue to check if I will get them very soon as well.
BUT, they told me my photo need to be re-took. My status also change to "the additional documents you provided are being reviewed" since Nov 14, and I also got confirmed that the officer leave a new photo request at the same day. But i never received any email or mail from CIC about the new photo request.
The agent said the communication between the officer and applicant is really slow now, even sometime, they just leave a note only,
and you have to find the photo issue yourself after you passed the processing time.
This is very common issue for PR card, so some officer just ignore the note.
Anyway, better to check yourself about the PR card, I may say after 50 days is the best time to double check the photo.
Here is the new photo request that I received this week,
"
Permanent Resident card - Photo retake required
If you applied for a Permanent Resident card (PR card), or are waiting to receive your initial PR card, and the Case Processing Centre requires that you provide new photos, we invite you to:
- Send them according to the photo specifications, and
- (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf)
- Include with the photos the Supplementary Identification form.
- (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5455B.PDF)
Here is the address to use if you are sending your photos by regular mail:
New permanent residents (if you are waiting for your initial card):
Case Processing Centre - PRC
P.O. Box 4500
Sydney, Nova Scotia
B1P 6L1
OR
Existing permanent residents (e.g., PR card replacement):
Case Processing Centre - PRC
P.O. Box 9000
Sydney, Nova Scotia
B1P 6K7
If you would like to have proof that your photos were received, you can use registered or express mail with Canada Post or a courier service such as Purolator, UPS, FedEx, etc. Please instruct the courier service to use the address listed below:
Case Processing Centre - PRC
49 Dorchester Street
Sydney, NS
B1P 5Z2
Please send the requested information within 180 days from the date of the letter that you have received."
So do you think, if there is a 10 to 15 days delay after "being reviewed" status, means we need to confirm that we have to send a photo request?
Did you receive email after you talk to the agent? When ? Immediately?
If we will not receive any email and if the Agent confirms, need new photo, can we send the address mentioned with our PR Application number and Client Id?
thanks,
Just call CIC and ask as once it's approved it only takes a few days usually to get the cards

Hi everyone,
I have two questions:
1. I landed on Nov 17th. when I can expect the PR card?
2.Do they always as for pictures?
I tried calling IRCC but I cant reach them. the wait time is too long or they super busy so they cant answer calls.
I have flight booked for feb25, 2018.

Yes, i will suggest you to call CIC to double check if you have waited in "Being reviewed" for a very long time, and your PR processing has almost reached to 61 days but still did not receive your card.
Yes, I receive email after you talk to the agent immediately.
If the agent said you need the photo, but you did not get your email, just follow the instruction that I have posted.
I check the photo request with my wife, ours are exactly same.
About 15% - 25% people have the photo issues as the agent said to me. This is a very common issue.
Another thing is, it also depend on the officer who made the card for you, they will just need to scan your photo to their card maker.
I have one friend re-send the exact same photo as he sent at the first time, and he has got his card now. So you never know.
I do not think there will be any issues,
but you have to make sure you send them by FedEx or UPS which you can have the tracking number to check the arrival.
you are lucky to be received by that time unless if you will be asked for a photo request.
