Thanks a lot mate.
I have another question. My consultant told me to write my name and DOB behind photographs. However in PPR mail they have suggested to write name of the name of photographer and date of photographs being taken.
Plz clarify what to do as I am confused.
Hi Navdeep,
Refer to this Operational Bulletin which was released by CIC on Dec 16th, 2014.

Guidelines
When an APR is received at a visa office, the registry clerk must confirm that proper photographs have been submitted. The photograph should be examined to ensure that it was taken within the last six months by a commercial photographer and that it meets the photo specifications. See Appendix A (Permanent Resident Card Photo Specifications (PDF, 3.25 MB)) for a complete list of specifications. The name and complete address of the photo studio and the date the photo was taken must be included on the back of one photo.
The same photo should also contain the name and date of birth of the applicant. One photo should be left blank.
When examining photos, visa offices should pay close attention to the following errors, which most commonly appear on non-compliant photos:
Altered original
Taken from an existing photo
Out of focus subject
Incorrect photograph background (must be white)
Poor lighting
Shadows on the client’s face, especially around the ears
Incorrect head size (too large)
If the photograph does not meet the required specifications, it should be returned to the applicant, along with a copy of Appendix A and/or Appendix B (Photo Specifications – Notes to the applicant and the photographer (PDF, 537.18 KB)) and instructions to submit new photos. Processing can continue as usual even though the new photographs have not been received; however, the application should not be finalized until new photographs are received.
Compliant photos must be on file when the Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) is printed. The photo without the applicant’s information on the back must be mounted to the COPR using a photo patch (double-sided tape).
