I would assume they returned them because they had enough? I know this sounds crazy cus we always say the more evidence the better... but my husband and I been together 13 years have 2 kids and I sent only 20 photos, 1 from every year we were together and 7 wedding photos... My husband is they laid back chilled type and me I tend to over do it, so he said don't overkill we sat and decided which 20 to send.
I guess you don't have to prove anything with 13years and 2 kids :)

My approval was not stamped and it was emailed. I do not want you to worry because there is nothing to worry about. But I have not heard of returning pic, there are people on this forum who had a very huge package and 100's of pictures we have never heard returning any till after decision/approval ...
The problem with CIC is the complete inconsistency!!
 
hello all

just want to share some thing which is a little confusing and different

1) revived confirmation letter from Mississauga for first step

2) revived letter from Mississauga for that file has been tranfered to Islamabad and in that letter they have clearly mentioned the VO address in Islamabad

3) Called call center agent confirmed file in Ottawa


no corresposndance at all after that and my madical is expiring on 1st Oct



what do you guys think of this

I am not sure if your VO is Islamabad! Did they send your application to Ottawa? Are they sending Islamabad files to Ottawa?

for Pakistani's their VO is ISL its just that Ottawa is (or was supposed to but isnt) to help expedite the process and hence most files are being sent to Ottawa who will do stage 1 and stage 2 up till the ppr, that's when they send the file back to ISL and they will complete the process. Buffalo office closing has effd up everything though... its become a dumpster... mine is in Ottawa, yet ppl who have similar timelines with me and had files go to isl are getting ppr's already... :(

its a cultural thing, otherwise known as giving away of the bride by the parents to the husband...

well they ask for 20, and you sent in literally 5.5 times of the amount lolz... up to 50-60 they dont mind, but after that its their call... dont worry much about it... they take ur case to be genuine... just prob are taking some weight of the file down ;)
