Renewal not supported :(

I don't understand why it can't be this simple for people "already" approved and "identified" and have a card you already approved to compare it to. Booo

Good app but…

The system should validate the information before allowing submission to ensure the correct registration number is provided.

Canadians paid for this?

This app is glitchy, unintuitive, and poorly written. Using an iPhone 13 and an iPhone 16E the app doesn’t display all controls, covers text over controls, and locks the user to an instruction screen that can’t be tapped next on and can’t be cancelled, leaving the only option to close the app and start from fresh. I cannot believe Canadian tax dollars went into this trash. Oh wait, yes I can.

It is likely caused by your phone's font size settings. Could you please try changing your font size to default or smaller and try again? Thanks!We tested this on the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 16, and iPhone 17 Air, and everything works fine; all controls display properly on the screen. Could you please provide more details about your issue? --Specifically:What is your phone model? --What are your current display and font size settings? Thank you!

Not working

Other reviews say that after you take the picture it freezes, well guess what, it’s still freezing! Waste of time!

Please let me know if it works. Thank you.

We sincerely apologize for the troubles you've had with the app. We'd be happy to take a look into. Thank you.

Options

It would be nice for new applicants to just have that option. So we can provide a photo before we apply.
As of right now the app is for people who are renewing.

Couldn’t validate picture

I tried to take photo of myself for verification with a white background, no shadow. I had a ring light and 2 other lights after that didn’t work I went to Walmart and tried it there with someone didn’t work. Then I tried at pro photo shop and it didn’t work. Couldn’t attach a professional quality photo only take one with the existing camera.

Not functioning

I have used this app several times over the years, it’s always been great. For some reason, this year it’s been awful. It won’t let you get passed the photo screen. Freezes up. It’s hard when you have appointments with people to help guide them through the process and the system fails. Please do an upgrade as this is a very useful app. And yes my phone is updated. Newest version of iPhone.

Hello, What is iOS version your iphone installed? Please upgrade your iphone iOS version to the latest one, and try again. OR it may be the font size issue? Could you please set your device font size to default and try again? Thank you!

Doesn’t work

We live no where near a place to get a picture and have a time limit to get them in. Not sure what to do now

DOES NOT WORK

App will not let me continue once I have taken my photo on my iPhone. A screen comes up saying I will be shown comparison photos but there is not way to go forward from that screen. Need to pay for passport photos now. Not sure why they cannot make this work- seems pretty simple.

Issues with update

It shouldn’t have auto correct automatically. Increases spelling mistakes.
Revert client signing back to full size.

I appreciate your input and We'll take it into consideration. You can turn off auto correct option in iPhone device. Please open the Settings app, tap General, then tap Keyboard, and finally, toggle the Auto-Correction switch to the off (white) position. Thank you.

Not functional

This app is a waste of time. I did everything the instructions said to but it constantly said there were shadows. I changed my lighting setup multiple times. The fact it won’t let you upload is frustrating because I have digital copies of my passport photo and couldn’t use those as an alternative. You can only take photos on your phone and it doesn’t work.

No longer has guarantor signature prompt

The app was functional and worked well for my community that lives 1.5 hours from a passport photo service. Since October 2023 the app no longer prompts for guarantor information or signature. Photos are still being submitted but applicants are receiving letters back that their applications are incomplete because the photos are not certified by the guarantor. Please fix this app. It served us well until it didn’t.
