Yes, on your tracking account, a new section will appear asking for additional documents. It should be above your application history.

Hi All,
For the photo in the citizenship online application, I got the digital photo from Pro passport and added the photographer details in the fields provided for this in the online citizenship application. Is that sufficient or do we need the stamp of the photographer by taking print of the photo with photographer’s stamp at the back and then scanning both sides of that photo for upload in the online citizenship application ?

IRCC notes the following about uploading a digital copy of your photo:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If your photographer gave you a digital copy of your photo, upload a document with your photo that includes:

• the information that would normally be listed on the back of the photo
  • the name and date of birth of the person in the photo
  • the date the photo was taken
  • the name and complete address of the photo studio
• a confirmation from the photo studio (for example, a receipt)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So you will also need to upload proof from Pro Passport confirming that the photo was taken at their studio on the specified date. It could be the photographer's stamp on the back side or a receipt.

You don't need the stamp for online. Fill the details, and if the application asks for upload receipt, i forgot if it asked

Exactly 3months now for test invitation.

Test completed: 22nd August 2025

Test was not as simple as everyone told.
Pretty much 14 were straight forward.
But took chances with 6 questions.
Got 19 with a bit of luck.

Hopefully everything is done from my end. Finger crossed for the final decision.

Took the test on Aug 22nd and passed.
It wasn't easy and straightforward.
There was too many questions asking about the names and the dates that stuff happened and I couldn't pass if I have not studied them before
