I have a quick question for this. For the photo to submit, does it need to be a new photo or is the one taken for when you apply initially good enough (so basically just to resubmit the same photo)?
No, it is for people that get assigned the Winnipeg office as their Primary Visa Office (PVO), but I am not sure how to check what office your file got assigned to.
Another disheartening thing is that I think the August spreadsheet is not really updated anymore, there seems to be a lot more updates from what I read in forums for August applicants than in that sheet.
Does anyone have a different spreadsheet for August applicants? This one does not seem to be updated/maintained anymore:
