Ok, today i got the PPR. great news!!!!!! for a change, i do feel good and full of hope. In the email i got they also want 2 photos, they give you a link with the photo specifications, its their CIC website for permanent resident card pictures. They say that they are different then passport pictures:
"Notes to the photographer
The two photos must:
•show a full front view of the person's head showing full face centred in the middle of the photo;
•be clear, well-defined and taken against a plain white background without shadows;
•be produced from the same unretouched film or from the same file capturing the digital image or from two identical photos exposed simultaneously by a split-image or multi-lens camera;
•be original photos (not taken from any existing photo);
•measure between 25 mm and 30 mm (1” and 1 1/5”) from chin to crown (top of hair);
•have a 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8″ x 1 3/4″) finished size;
•be on photographic paper that has a backing which accepts and retains the date. Photos without this backing are not acceptable;
•be on prints that are well-fixed and washed to prevent discolouration;
•bear the date the photo was taken (not the date the photo was printed) directly on the back of one print (stick-on labels are not acceptable)."
where do i go to take photos with date on the back in the USA? walgreens,CVS do they do it? i don't remember doing this for my initial application, or maybe i just forgot... thanks and keep your hopes up. your turn will come.
