    I sent them a copy of my passport with my original application as well and they still asked for it. You didn't jump the gun. I think it's more of some verification process for them. Who knows! lol

    With me they only requested a photo copy of my Passport, which I emailed to them. So it was pretty straight forward. From what I understand, if they do request for your physical passport, they will return it to you with your COPR, since you would need it to enter Canada.

    Photo Evidence

    One thing to note with your photo evidence, regardless of the contents of the photo is to give a detailed explanation below each one. For example, with mine I would write under each photo the following: Photo of John Smith and Jane Smith on May 30th, 2010; taken by a Janice Smith (John Smith's...
