Hi
@Spogmey
Yes, I sent the picture to the Etobicoke office and it was delivered on 3/3/2021. One week ago.
The only way to track it is to use the ' Link my application ' option on GCKey, by entering your information, then the system will find all active applications for you. The same like what you did when you linked your pr application and were able to track it.
Now bare in mind ( according to hundreds of people in other threads ) that some people who sent pictures are able to link their application, some can't. The reason is that officially speaking you can't link the application until they physically open the envelope and start the application, which may take time, that's why some people can't link their application until this happens. However, some other people ( and I am one of them ) were able to link the application even before they open the envelope. I actually linked my application BEFORE I send any pics LOL. The reason ( according to some threads ) is that sometimes the immigration officer initiates the application for you on the system. When I linked my application, I saw on the system that the application date was 24th February 2021 ( same date of my COPR, but I actually received PDF on 1st of March ), which means the application was created by the officer on same day I became a permanent resident, even before I receive the copr pdf.
Right now my application says: " Submitted " on GCKey, however some other people can not link it till they open the envelope.
Try it and let me know. Best of luck.
