You are not likely to hear anything until probably 22nd November . Try linking your application to gckey around the mentioned date. I hope that helps

I dont have an answer for this. You need to call and check with IRCC on the exact issue with photo, rectify it and re submit. Just make sure everything in application is updated before you submit. Also keep.this forum updated. Might help people. Thanks and best luck.

Agree with someone else that processing g is taking around 6 weeks although that is an approximation. If normal processing the card will show up in his mailbox (if currently in Canada) in late November or early December. All he can do is wait.

I called them. This is just stupid. They said the year in back of the photo shows 2028. Because of the ink it might look like an 8 but come on. It was done the day before. Like seriously???

I think so, when you resubmit, it will show the new date of submission as Oct 29th

Yes if returned you start the process again when you resubmit.

Thank you. It delays my application.
But, at least it is a good news for others that the September 18 week applications are in-process now.

Do not change anything!!

Your reason for return is very obvious so just rectify the objection. Keep the photo as it is, and reach out to the place where you took your photo. Ask them to stamp it and give it a time to dry.
If it was a digital photo you should not even put a stamp, rather the invoice/receipt.
