Do I need to bring photos for POE Landing?

[jenkinson]

Hey guys,

I'll be landing shortly at an international airport. Do I need to bring along additional photos with me, for the landing process?

I don't see any instructions to do so on the letter they sent me along with my passport & COPR document but just wanted to make sure.

(I sent a pair of photos to CPC Ottawa when they had requested my passport. I see they attached one on the COPR. I believe they kept the other one for themselves.)

Thanks in advance!

I would do so, just in case (if you have any copies). I have heard instances where they asked for it upon landing. Good luck!!

Thank you! I'm currently inland and I'll depart for the US early tomorrow. I was planning to get a pair today but I overlooked the fact that no photo store would be open since it's Armistice Day. I guess I can get some taken while I'm there.

According to CIC, no you don't need photos

Personally I didn't bring any, border officer only asked for COPR and passport.

That's good to hear. Thanks for the reference & telling about your experience. I appreciate it.

Don't worry because most likely, you won't need it.

They won't ask for them, and likely won't accept them if you offer them.
