Just wanted to keep folks updated. I called CIC today and they told me that there was a production error on Sept 11. There is NO note for photos or anything else that says something is missing. I'm not sure what's going on but just wanted to share this detail with others.
Track your PR card timeline and processing times here

I landed on Aug 27 in Etobicoke as well . Seems like Etobicoke is slower to process

No update, just called CIC. Agent said he will put a note saying it is over SLA, other than that he told me to wait.
The pictures they use originally are the ones in the COPR (CBSA copy that they keep when you land). The VO are the ones that stick those pictures in your COPR before sending it to you, I guess they are not as thorough as the CIC guys printing the PR cards.
My wife’s photos was rejected because of the smile (my guess), wasn’t a problem with the VO but it is with The PR card, sometimes the CBSA asks for new photos when you land (recent ones). My advise, get fresh photos when you land (no smile) and keep them with your friends if any at your Canadian address if you plan to do a soft landing.
Still waiting on ghost update or any update
I am so sorry for your situation. I guess maybe because the number of landing in Ottawa is much fewer than airport landing so they just wait until having a certain number of application and process them all at once.
Thanks ...It is indeed stressful not knowing whether or not I am gonna be going on the vacation that I planned in October because my loved ones haven't seen me in a while and I don't know what to tell them...
Can you try to apply PRTD during the mean time, I think that can be done in 3-4 weeks and get you ready for your vacation.
