Immigration photos for PPR

Hi,
For the Immigration Photos, it states not to write on the back of them.
I got them taken at Shoppers and they've put their stamp with their address and wrote in the date on when it was taken. Is this ok, the photographer said they do it all the time and it's required by them to do so?
Does CIC just mean writing my own name or anything else on the back?

It is fine with the stamp on the back. Mine like that too.

With a written in date as well?

Oh sorry I reread your question and found you said they wrote the date. It's a little bit different from mine that came out a stamp on the back with date on it. It was not written.

Strange as my letter specifically asked you to write your application number and name on the back of each. I'm sure the date stamps will be fine.

On mine it said to write the application number and name on the small envelope you put the photographs in

Here is the instructions:
Notes to the photographer
The two photos must:
 show a full front view of the person’s head showing full face centred in the middle of the photo;
 be clear, well-defined and taken against a plain white background without shadows;
 be produced from the same unretouched film or from the same file capturing the digital image or from
two identical photos exposed simultaneously by a split-image or multi-lens camera;
 be original photos (not taken from any existing photo);
 New: measure between 25 mm and 30 mm (1” and 1 1/5”) from chin to crown (top of hair);
 have a 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8″ x 1 3/4″) finished size;
 be on photographic paper that has a backing which accepts and retains the date. Photos without this
backing are not acceptable;
 be on prints that are well-fixed and washed to prevent discolouration;
 bear the date the photo was taken (not the date the photo was printed) directly on the back of one print
(stick-on labels are not acceptable).
