PPR Photographs

Hi,
I just got my PPR this Wednesday. I went to Costco this afternoon to take 2 new photographs.
I just realized that I accidentally wrote down my name + date of birth on the back of the 2 photos even though the specification states that:

*The back of one (1) photograph must:
  • bear the name and date of birth of the subject, as well as the name and complete address of the photography studio
  • bear the date the photograph was taken
  • the photographer may use a stamp or handwrite this information. Stick-on labels are unacceptable.

It is too late now for me to correct that since I already sent the documents.

Has anybody made similar mistakes? Would it make my post-PPR process delayed?

Thanks.

I am sure it won't be a problem - in the worst case they will ask you to resubmit them.

I guess best to wait and good luck. Congrats on PR.:)

I noticed in your signature that your PPR was on August 31, 2017. Did you receive your PP back?

I just submitted my passports for stamping at Sydney Office. It has been a week already.

How about you?
I submitted my documents on Friday (Sept 29). I just checked Canada Post Tracking, the documents have been delivered this morning.

You will have to resend the photographs as Costco does not provide photographs according to Canada specification. You may get a mail asking for it again.

You can go to walgreens to get photographs according to Canada specifications. You will need to let them know that you need Canada passport photos.

You meant Canada Permanent Resident Photo?

The Costco location (Burnaby, BC) I went to has the specs chart for Gov. Photos requirement and they explicitly said that it meets the CIC standard. (besides my mistake)

Ah ok, then you are good. Hopefully they do not ask for more.

Thanks!
I hope so.
agghhh... I always have things to worry about :confused:
Reading your post again more clearly this time. Don't think it would be a problem, I wrote the details on both my photographs and they did not have an issue with that.

P/s:
I have done the same mistake, did you receive it? Or did they ask you to send new one? Thankyou in advance

Hi Guys,

we recently got a ppr request, i have sent passports and photographs but forgot to get the photographs stamped from CVS and also forgot to write name and DOB.
