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 !!

I got email on Oct 6 requesting passport but there is no update in MyCIC.
Did everybody received email instead of message in MyCIC?
I sent my passport to following address on Oct 8 and they have received on Oct 9, with no update in MyCIC.

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.
Photo essentials
The two photos must be taken by a commercial photographer.
The photos must be original and not altered in any way or
taken from an existing photo.
The name and complete address of the photo studio as well as
the date the photo was taken must be included on the back of
one photo. The photographer may use a stamp or handwrite
this information. Stick-on labels are unacceptable.
The photo with the photographer’s information must include
your name and date of birth. One photo should be left blank.
The photos must have been taken within the past six months.
The photos must be printed on quality photographic paper.
The photos must be 35 mm (13/8”) by 45 mm (13/4”).
The head must measure between 25 mm (1”) and
30 mm (11/5”) from crown to chin.
Note: Crown means the top of the head or (if obscured by
hair or a head covering) where the top of the head or skull
would be if it could be seen.
Clients with special needs
A letter of explanation is required when the applicant is unable
to meet the photo specification requirements.
Consideration will be given to individuals with special needs
who cannot meet all the photo specifications.
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
