Hi Guys...need some help around the digital photo scan, this is what I see for all visa applications in CIC's website -

The following must be included on the back of one photo:
The name and complete address of the photo studio and the date the photo was taken. The photographer may use a stamp or handwrite this information. Stick-on labels are unacceptable.
Your guarantor must clearly write: "I certify this to be a true likeness of (applicant's name)" and sign (guarantor’s name and surname). If you are renewing an adult passport, a guarantor is not needed.


Now as we all know for e-APR, we do have to submit a digital photo, would this photographer's stamp as well as guarantor's name and surname at the back holds true even for e-APR applications, getting a perfectly scanned photo itself is becoming a challenge, I'm wondering if I need to get the back also filled with the above and scan it in the same doc? How can I do that for jpef. they mention that it shouldn't be a PDF.

No you dont need to scan back side of photo. It is only when your filing paper application and if they ask photo. I think this is just general instruction from CIC.

I am filing my online WP application today thru my representative and he said just give us your photo we will scan it. He also mentioned no need to have a brand new one.
 
Ok.thanks.

There were no group name or no in my 1st GCMS notes. Location PS.
It got added when I received my 2nd. Location PACE.

So seems like it's gone to next department.
Our timelines are pretty much similar.
So I am sure yours must have gone to PACE as well.
May be it will be added on your next GCMS.
Good luck all

Hello there,


I am Oct 13 applicant, they asked for new medicals for my dependents on Oct 1, I submitted those on 3rd Oct and got the verification for it in a week. Now its been 2 months and my background check has still not started yet. I am very depressed about the pace at which they are processing my application. What should I do? I dont know if its going to take 16 months or I will be stuck like this forever ??? ??? :'( :'( :'(
 
I have been working for the same employer since 2.5 years now and he has started harassing me these days. I dont know what to do?
 
What do you mean harassing? Refer to provincial work place harassment guidelines if you think something is not acceptable.

Sept 30th applicant

My passport is expiring on July 2017. Should I renew them now?

Definitely, without further delay.

When CIC ask for passport request and their condition is passport has to be valid for more than 6 months,
 
My background changed today to In Progress. I guess CIC is also working on the weekends. Im still counting on to what the officer told me back in October that I should have a decision by Nov. 30. Fingers Crossed
