Landed - 16 March
PR Card in the mail - 1 May

Exactly 46 days

Ah, I'm a bit worried now.
We're only 6 days apart but my card hasn't been mailed, which may indicate I need to send them replacement photos...

No one?

DO they inform (by email) when the card is sent by mail? Thanks.
Please advise.

No, IRCC doesn't send any update regarding when they mailed your card. The only way to find out is to call them.

Hi,

I am not sure if I sound stupid. Can please someone tell me how and why does one land before getting a PR card?
I have submitted my PR application yesterday and from what I understand a lot of people land in Canada before getting their card?

Thanks!

You do your landing with your CoPR paper (confirmation of permanent residence), which you'll get from IRCC when they approve your application. Only after the landing you'll get your PR card in the mail at the address you provide to the CBSA/IRCC officer that processed your landing.

Oh alright. Thanks so much!

How long does it take on an average to receive the CoPR paper?

You'll get it when your application is approved, so expect around 6 months (assuming Express Entry) since the date you originally applied, according to IRCC.

Reading through this thread, it is utter BS that CIC requests for photos. Clearly seems like a procedural problem on their end. They should ask for retakes before sending COPR.

As Baji mentioned, most of people who are being asked for retakes sent photos for COPR as per specifications (50x70mm etc). I have a feeling with this being a small physical item, some get lost as our files move from office to office, which is so lame to hear from a big organization like this.
