No they don't.

The need to have the name of the person, dated taken and who took it.
As I said before, one is entitled to take photographs themselves - even a selfi will do provided they meet the specifications. So, will an individual be required to get a "stamp" made? C'mon folks, wake up.

Here it is from CIC Website:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/citizenship-application-photograph-specifications.html


Requirements

• Provide two (2) identical citizenship photographs (except Renunciation applications, where only one (1) photo is required.)
• Your photographs must comply with the specifications below. If the photographs do not meet the specifications, you will have to provide new photographs before your application can be processed.
• Photographs must be printed on quality photographic paper.
• Provide the name of the photographer or the studio, the studio address and the date the photos were taken on the back of the photos
• Print the name of the person on the back of the photos.

Specifications

• The photographs must be identical and taken within the last six months. They may be either black and white or colour.
• The photographs must be clear, well defined and taken against a plain white or light-coloured background.
• If the photographs are digital, they must not be altered in any way.
• Your face must be square to the camera with a neutral expression, neither frowning nor smiling, and with your mouth closed.
• You may wear non-tinted prescription glasses as long as your eyes are clearly visible. Make sure that the frame does not cover any part of your eyes. Sunglasses are not acceptable.
• A hairpiece or other cosmetic accessory is acceptable if it does not disguise your normal appearance.
• If you must wear a head covering for religious reasons, make sure your full facial features are not obscured.

Hey Folks,
I am not experienced but can tell you from my own experience that it is NOT mandatory for the photos to be stamped. In my case, My application was returned because I missed one of my child document. However, when I got the package back, CIC personnel already affixed the photos on our application forms and our photos were not stamped at all but they were all affixed correctly under each applicant form. They also send a letter along that states my and my spouse app is correct and I just need to add one document for the child and resend the package, thats it, which I did on Dec 22 (Delievered Dec 28).

Regards

AOR's depend on so many factors.
It depends on the case officer who takes up your application to assess for its completeness.
(Some take their sweet time and some are quick)
Compelxity of your application. (factors like stay in 2 or more countries for more than 6 months, your calculation period includes work permits and student permits)
Your physical presence calculator has too many entries.

Stay Calm and carry on.... start calling or writing to CIC if you have passed 80 days after your application delivery date.
