Please click your photographs from professional photographers only, those who have experience in Canada Visa passport photographs as per the specification. We tried with a professional one who did Visa photographs for Aus and USA, turns out the photo was not up to the measurements. We wasted 4-5 hours, some cash and ended up with frustration. In the end, we had to repeat the process and spend more time, money etc.
Be careful while choosing the photographer.
7. Application approved and document found valid (final approval) 10th Jul'19.
