passports to CPC-ottawa in October 2015

[mtrx]

Just checked my CIC and it says approved . So happy right now. Moving to Canada last year was the best thing I have ever done, allowed me for the first time to be open and honest with myself by coming out as gay. Met a wonderful guy and was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to stay, but now I can stay I am so happy !!

when did you send your passport? would you share your timeline please?

And who said that your name and date of birth should be on pictures? If you submitted them with your passport you are good. Please read the PPR you received, there's nothing indicating you should write your name and date of birth on your pictures- although some may argue that it is a good idea. You are fine, stop stressing over nothing.

It is in the photo essentials

The photo with the photographer's information must include your name and date of birth. One should be left blank.

many people have received their visa with this mistake so don't worry about it. Only problem that you may run in to when they will issue your pr card and in that case they will request you to send pictures again.

Do you guys get notified via email if the PP is sent back from the Ottawa office or do you simply spam the refresh button on the canadapost tracker website? ;D

Received email update from CIC Saturday noon, logged in to myCIC and now my application is approved and closed.

Hopefully they will send back my passport on Monday or Tuesday. Will report back when return tracker is activated. ;D
