Firstly I m sorry for my question.

If I take photo from shoppers and from Walmart both are same size but one face comes littles small other one is little bigger

tho both are same size but one of them face is little bigger and other one is smaller

So my question is how much CIC do consider about photo requremts

Does it mean as long as size is ok it is ok

I am talking when you send Passsport with two photo

I have photos taken as per specs given there and also with date/address of photographer.

The easiest way that I get scan copies of my documents is by clicking a photo of them in my phone 12 MP camera and converting them to PDF. shall I do the same for this 50mmx70mm photo as well.

It might look a bit bigger or smaller depending on how far the phone is, while clicking a picture.

Scan is possible but it would be BW and my phone cam gives better clarity.

Are you going to upload the photo to your eAPR? if yes, then you should upload the photo as image file like JPG, JPEG etc, NOT PDF.

At designated upload holder page, when you will upload photo you can find it by clicking help button, I think

@duckirha Where did you get the digital photo requirement link from? Did CIC mail it to you upon receipt of application?

Further, when is the digital photo to be used?

My application is being processed through a consultant and hence I've no idea as to what the status of my application is.

I took the digital photo on the basis of another CIC document in which the photo specifications were different than the one mentioned in the link submitted by you.

Hence, if that can be rectified, I'd like to get fresh pictures clicked.

Regards,

Addie
