Hi Everyone,
I got my PR Card today. Let me share my timelines with you all:
Landed on 18th August 2022 in Toronto Pearson
My pictures got rejected and received an email on 14th Oct 2022
I sent the pictures to 49 Dorchester Street Sydney Nova Scotia via UPS and they reached them on 19th October 2022.
Note: if you are sending via UPS, Fedex etc you can send to 49 Dorchester Street Sydney, NS B1P 5Z2 It might get delivered to Waterford NS. You don't need to worry about that. If you are sending via Canada Post follow the address mentioned in the letter.
My status on IRCC website changed from submitted to application updated on 26th Jan 2023.
The status changed back to submitted on 27th Jan 2023.
On 7th Feb 2023, my status changed to approved.
I received my card on 9th Feb 2023.
Please note these things:
- When sending the pictures again, ensure the dimensions are correct. Your facial is neutral and follow all the instructions mentioned on their website about pictures.
- Your pictures might get delivered to Waterford NS, instead of Sydney as this is there new digital office.
- The processing time on their website is applicable for those whose pictures get accepted on the first try. For resending pictures they follow a different pattern
- If your pictures are rejected you might get a reply in 40-60 days it all depends on IRCC.
- If you are from Canada, call the IRCC helpline from 8am - 9am or 12pm-1pm. You can request a call back, which they always do
- Ensure that your address is correct as they put the wrong address on my file at the airport. I had to get it corrected by calling their helpline
