One thing I'm curious about: How can people who did their Landing in mid-December already be receiving their PR Cards, while people who had to re-submit their Photos in mid-November are still waiting? Are these applications going into different queues? It just seems skewed and unreasonable to me that some people have been living in Canada for 4+ months now without having a PR Card (expelling them from many important services) and others are getting prioritized over them.
Personally for me; I landed October 9. Re-submitted my photos December 10, but am unable to renew my BC Services Card or apply for a Driver's License because the Landing Document is not an accepted ID for PRs. Right now I'm hoping to get it sometime in February, which would be a 4 month wait for a super essential document.
