50x70 photos are not passport size photos, bit bigger than that and the face should be between 31mm to 36mm.
they asked me too and i have sent them on 9 Nov still no reply hoping everything fine.
Malik,
Does your MY CIC account says Document: "Provided" or "Received"
Did you send any physical photo or just uploaded the digital one?

After a day receiving re-medical request, my wife has received PFL.

I have determined that you may not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act because you are a person described in paragraph A12(1) and R4 of the Act. You may therefore be inadmissible to Canada
It appears from your application that you did not celebrate the Rukhsati after your marriage. I note that your sponsor remained in Pakistan for 2 months after your wedding. You have submitted an explanation for why you have not celebrated the Rukhsati and indicated that you will celebrate it in December 2016. It appears that you have not followed the cultural norm in traditional Pakistan weddings of celebrating the Rukhsati straight away or soon after the wedding celebrations, and this is a serious concern regarding the bona fides of your relationship. Given the above, I have concerns regarding the bona fides of your relationship. Please submit evidence that you have celebrated your Rukhsati as planned in the wider community; please submit documents such as photos of the Rukhsati celebrations including guests; banquet receipts; a copy of your sponsor’s passport showing entry and exit stamps; evidence of accommodation on your honeymoon.

My Comments:
1. I didn't stay for 2 months after I stayed there for 25 days after even I provided them with ticket, i wonder how are they saying this?
2. I informed them that my wife is doing housejob and it is mandatory requirement (provided letter to confirm this). She will finish in May and we will plan Rukhsati/Reception in Decemeber.

Barat is planned on 29th Dec and walima afterwards. What should i be sending them? My Ticket, Banquet Hall booking for Barat and Walima? Receipts of bridal dress? Receipts of my dress? Marriage invitation cards?

Should i be sending the communication proof too? like viber chats?

Thanks for the help.
Please make sure to provide as much information to satisfy the visa officer as possible. Remember, this is a third person who is looking into your relationship and needs to understand the reasonings for not having the rukhsati with the Nikkah.

So, prepare to send them the following, some of which you've already mentioned:

- Flight itinerary
- Hall books/payment receipts
- Cards/Invitations
- Receipts of the dresses
- Communications (Viber, FB, Whatsapp, Snapchat etc) between you and your spouse where the details of rukhsati are specifically being discussed
- Gift exchanges

Anything you can solidify your relationship and the intention of performing rukhsati. In your cover letter, make sure to reiterate your reason for not performing rukhsati at the time of the marriage and that you are planning on XXX date due to XXX reason.

i have sent 2 photos physically because they told in the letter that photos should be stamped or written at the back by the photographer shop address and date as well. after they received my cic status was not changed but than i have uploaded as well then immediately it changed to provided.
