Hey Guys,

I am planning to apply canadian PR through CEC. Was stuck at photo requirement which states

The photos must:

bear the date the photo was taken (not the date the photo was printed) directly on the back (stick-on labels are not acceptable).

I am from chennai, India and No photo studio in my place prints date in the back of the photo. I am wondering if i have any alternative(Like writting the date on the back of photo myself)

Thanks in advance

If they have a date stamp, ask them to use that. Otherwise they can just write it on the back and should be fine.

Mannivanang,

What did you eventually do... Does anyone know on the forum if the application can be rejected if dates are hand-written?

regards,
Shalini.

If the photos did not match the specification at best either they will return your application or ask for new photo. They will not reject your application based on photo.
