Hi guys,

I just submitted my EE - online application last week. For my photo, I submitted the original digital copy and attached a scanned version for the back of my photo.
I took my photo at a photography shop and have a stamp on the back with the shop's name and date.
I signed my name, but forgot to write my date of birth. Until now I noticed I also need to have my date of birth included.

I am worried this might make my application rejected. Does anyone know if I should raise a webform and inform IRCC? Or this isn't important as they can find my date of birth everywhere in my application?

Thank you so much! Appreciate your reply.

No, don't worry about it. You don't need to upload a photo of the back or a signature for the Express Entry application. I took a selfie with my phone for the EE application, and submitted that. They accepted that. Also, for the photo, you still won't need to upload the back of it even when you are approved and receive the PR Portal email. You only need to upload the front.

haha, same here. I took a photo from my phone and adjusted the specs before submission. The stamped photo is only required for PPR/RFV.

I took a professional photo because I wanted to look good in it o_O
That photo won't matter much as it is only for internal processing. The one that you upload to the PR Portal email or when you receive your PPR and send it in is the important one. My photo looked so funny, and I sent it in anyway at the time because I knew it didn't matter lol.

Do you mean the photo uploaded for EE online application is for internal processing?

I believe so because they ask us to upload a photo in the PR Portal once we are approved we need to upload a new photo on the PR Portal.
