Hello everyone,

It's my first time posting here so I want to thank you for helping out in advance. I applied for Canadian citizenship yesterday but I forgot to send my photographs. Is there a way I could send my photos to Immigration?

My suggestion is to reprint all the application forms, photocopies, and receipt and resend with the photographs, since that first one is going to be rejected anyway.

No , send the copy of the same payment receipt
Update: I spoke to Immigration. They gave me three options:

Option 1: Wait for the officer to open the application. He will send the application back to you and ask you to reapply.
Option 2: The officer might not send the application back but they will ask me to just send the photos. (This is at the discretion of the officer)
Option 3: Send a new application right away AND write a letter saying that I forgot to send the photo in the previous application.

I went with Option 3. Thank you once again for helping out!

Do you think this will delay my application significantly?

It might delay it one day, but it could speed it up ;) Shouldn't have any impact at all. A great deal depends upon whose desk it ends up on.

sorry . i was asking how you reached out to immigration. By email or phone.
Ah I see it got buried after the quote tag so is hidden. I’d guess phone based on what was said. Takes a while to get through, one does have to persevere.
