Something weird happened today: I received an email from the embassy saying that I need to submit new photos because the one I sent doesn't comply with the no facial hair policy. The weird thing is that I got AOR from the embassy explicitly saying that police certificate results were uploaded directly into my application. And also, I got P1 on Aug 8th.
I replied to the embassy asking if there was confusion. I will also call IRCC tomorrow to confirm if my PCC were uploaded to my application. Hopefully, it was a mistake and I don't have to send documents to the Embassy again, also it's very frustrating they (I guess the FGR) are asking me basically to change the hairstyle, it's not like I have a long beard, it's so short that you can see skin through it., it feels like an aggression to the individual choices.
Oh, that is weird, so sorry to hear what you are going through. Have you got any news? Maybe the Canadian Embassy mistakenly sent that email?
