Are you guys using Matte or Glossy Paper for Photos

Hello!

Guys what are you using Matte or glossy for spouse photos for passport stamping after PPR.
IRCC has not mentioned anything.

Is it fine if I use photos on "Matte" paper?

TIA

It depends on your printer I guess. Usually printing on regular paper is enough and very clear. Test it and see.

Thanks for replying!

Our Matte paper photos are more clear (getting from a professional photographer), so thinking to send those.
Just wanted to make sure they will accept Matte paper.

I don't really think IRCC cares much either way.

But personally I think the simple way is to ask at the photo studio, what's the standard for passport-type photos.

Sorry I initially thought you meant spouse photos as in proof of relationship ones. In case of PPR photos it should be whatever is standard for ID/passport photos, in my life I've always seen them as the glossy type. But again, if what you have is standard then I don't think it matters.

Thanks! Yes Studio guys said they mostly provide Matt paper photos for Visa.
As IRCC doesn't have any strict requirement. I will stick to Matt paper.

Thanks. Photo studio said Matte paper photos are normal for visa-related work.
