Did anyone get there photos taken at London Drugs and get them rejected as I know LD have a special machine. mine got taken many times due to issues with shine/glare on my forehead.

Last I heard my card is in production from CIC so is that a good sign? I could ring them again this week as it should be mailed this week (over the 41 days of processing time)...
when I resubmit my photos, I took it at London drug, and my forehead is also too shinning. But lucky they provide makeup, guess many people have the same issue. Good news is that I just called CIC and my card was mailed on Monday. Since I am in BC, it probably gonna take 5-7 business day to be here... When i first call CIC, the agent told me my application is still in process and didn't get to the production process before I got photo retaken email. Since yours is in production, i think your photos should be alright...

And yes, call CIC. at least you will have a peaceful mind... and I dont think you can totally depend on CIC, if you know what i mean.

It is all so random!

I called CIC yesterday and they mentioned that they will not tell me any update till it is not 30 days from the day photos were received. It is so so sad that we are being made to go through all this. I am afraid they will come back after 30 days that the photos are not right and please resend.

Hmm, i have that fear as well. We both took the new photos at London drugs, so i would be really upset if they did not accept my photos.

Will wait and see

One Of my Friend had similar issue. CIC asked him to send new Photos after two months of wait without much explanation. Hope this will be one in thousands

Hi
Finally I got my all pr cards.
Landed 19th june with a family of 4.
Got 2 pr cards on 2nd Aug and got to know about photo requests of remaining 2 on enquiry by phone.Got email for my photo request on 2nd Aug. My pics reached cic on 5th Aug(forgot to include letter but my details were mentioned on envelope) and my son's reached on 8th Aug (as they told later about my son's pic request on further enquiry by phone.Actual request reached by mail on 12th Aug due to lack of email address of our son)
Got my pr card on 23rd and for my son on 25th August
My advice to every1 is to call cic after the time frame for pr card production reached and follow up them with calls until you get your pr cards as they are really slow most of the time to send photo requests if any error in them and waste lots of time
Good luck to everyone

Congrats Taha!

My photos reached Sydney address on 10th August. I called them 2 days back and they told that no update will be given before 10th Sep as they need 30 days to process the card after receiving the photos. This is so difficult to digest that i feel like pulling my hair out. I have to be in Canada for an interview and I am waiting for my PR for 2.5months now.

I hope it is delivered either this week or next.

Yeh
Many agents refuse to give any information if ur photos were resent. I had to call multiple times to get the correct info

Can you give some tips on how to persuade the agent? :)
