My friend is about to submit her application but having issues with the digital photo. She went to walgreens but they only print the photos they can't give them to her on a cd or email them to her. How can she ensure the specs are correct if she scans the printed photo or are there any cheap photo places in the North Carolina where she currently lives that will give her a digital copy for upload?
Ask some one to take photo for her
Frame Size:
• The final frame size of the photo must be at least 35mm x 45mm.
• The photographs must show a full front view of the head and tops of shoulders, with the face in the middle of the photograph.
• The size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31mm and 36mm.
• Digital dimensions are often expressed in pixels or DPI (dots per inch). The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540.
Quality/resolution:
• If an existing photo is being scanned, the minimum resolution must be 600 pixels per inch.
File Format:
• The file may be submitted in JPEG or JPEG2000 format.
• The final size of the image should ideally be 240 kB (kilobytes), but not less than 60 kB.
• The image must be in colour (24 bits per pixel) in RGB colour space, which is the common output for most digital cameras.
If photo does not satisfy CIC, You will be asked to submit a new photo and your application wont get rejected. (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/final.asp) found this info here.
