Application / Regulation advice Rejected photo

I already have a PAL. I applied to upgrade it to a RPAL. The online portal just updated showing they reviewed it last week and to wait for an update. I called them to see how are things going. They told me my photo was rejected and that I would receive a letter related to that.

Has anyone experienced that? How long did it take to receive the letter? It sucks because I have to mail my Photo Guarantor and references, wait a week for them to receive the papers, then wait a week to receive it back, then wait a week for Miramichi to receive it, then wait for them to process things.

When I took my safety course the instructor recommended going to any place they do passport photos and spending the twenty bucks it takes to have it done there. Make sure to specify it's for a PAL, they'll get all the settings just right. He said he's never had anyone report a rejected photo when they went that route.

Unfortunately my wife's was rejected using a professional service. They dont always know what they are doing. We sent our paper work in same day, i had my PAL in hand in 6 weeks. She got hers nearly a year to the day.
