Hi,
I just have a minor problem with my passport sized photograph that I just had taken. The photography studio stamped and dated the back of it, like the CIC instructions say they should, but there is one small issue- they did not put my name and DOB on the back (I asked them to, but they said they don't do it). What should I do? I think I have two recourses:

a) Just scan and submit the photographs as is; especially given that my photograph is also on my (verified) medical examination sheet, my PCC, and my passport, I don't think it should matter much if my name and DOB aren't on the back... right?
b) Try and cram my name and DOB on the back myself. There's isn't much space left, but maybe if I try, I can get my first name and date on the back

What should I do? Please advise :)

A: Not sure if you are asking for eAPR submission or PPR? For eAPR only digital photos are needed. Physical are needed for PPR only.
b) Try and cram my name and DOB on the back myself. There's isn't much space left, but maybe if I try, I can get my first name and date on the back
A: You are supposed to write your Name and DoB at the back of ONE of the photos and not the photographer.

What should I do? Please advise :)
 
Thank you! I am actually not sure of the difference- I received my ITA from CIC under PNP FSWP Express Entry, and I am submitting my documents online according to the checklist.
Does that fall under eAPR or APR?
And so it's okay if I write my name and DOB myself?
Thank you!

Its eAPR, and Yes you can write

I was told by forum members that writing on the back of the photo is only required for the PPR. For online submission, a normal digital photo would suffice?

You were rightly informed by this forum.
