So it ended my application was returned because my wife's picture, taken a few days before at Costco, weren't dated.
I unfortunately didn't notice that.


They've returned my package too, considered complete.
I'm sending the applications again, with the picture amended.

Doesn’t Costco stamp the photos with the date? My husband's photo was taken at Costco, Burlington. I hope they stamped the date. I’m quite sure he just wrote his name on the photos.

Did you write the date yourself or did you get Costco to stamp the date?

Thanks and good luck!

So sorry about that. Why don't you consider applying separately online. Looks like online applications are currently processed at much higher speed nowadays.

They should had written the date. They've done on my picture.
Unfortunately, they made a mistake and I didn't identify. Very frustrating.

They've already considered my application complete. So they've requested to resubmit all of them together.
But I'll speak to them tomorrow to understand.
Thanks

They sent by regular mail (Canada Post). Didn't know what had happened with my application until today when I went to the mail box and the package was there.
Hey. have you already sent back your application?
Did you send a brand new one with all the documents again? Or just the missing pictures?
did you send the letter informing what is missing?
Thanks!

Hi, Yes the package has been sent to them again. I actually filled out the new form (CIT 0002 - Oct 2020) with the date in the original form (Nov 28, 2020), but that form can be validated and give you bar codes, which will help ease the review process, I submitted the new photos and each package with the returned letter they provided. I also sent a Letter of explanation indicating that the photos were attached, the new forms were filled out with the date as in the original submission. My package arrived there on March 2, 2021, praying that this time it will be reviewed and considered complete and finally receive my AORs (Family of 5).

If you changed forms, I would have used a new date, as it will be considered a new applications and applications can’t be signed more than 90 days in the past.

Well I was just following the instructions they sent in the returned letter, both application forms were included, the one sent in December (2019 form) and the new one (2020). Maybe I messed it up, but we will see in about three months when they start processing the March applications.
