Hi everyone,
I have already submitted my application on June 10th, 2020.
I have a question about the digital photo specification
Temporary residents (students, workers, visitors), Express Entry and Canadian citizenship certificate
Above is the digital photo specification that I checked on IRCC's website. As you see, there are two different sections of the requirements. The top one is for "Temporary residents (students, workers, visitors), Express Entry and Canadian citizenship certificate", and the bottom one is for "Temporary residents and Express Entry".
According to the photo specification of the top one, it requires the image size to be at least 420 x 540 pixels (0.77 W by H ratio). My submitted photo had 924 x 1188 pixels (0.77 W by H ratio as well). Is this okay?
According to the photo specification of the bottom one, the final frame size of the photo must be at least 35mm x 45mm. Since mine is a digital photo, I don't think I can measure the size of the photo in mm, right?
The format of the photo I submitted is in JPEG, and its size is 411.7KB, which are all correct. The only things I am worried about are about the 35mm x 45mm requirement as well as the pixel size of the image.
1. 420 x 540 pixels and 924 x 1188 pixels have the same width by height ratio, but different pixel size. Is this going to be a problem?
2. How does a digital photo measure 35mm x 45mm ?
If this is a problem, please advise me how to resolve the issue!
Regards,
