Hello everyone I am working on my application for the EE CEC and they require a digital photo.
Does this photo need to be taken within six months? I wish could use the photo I took two years ago which I have used it for my study permit extension and also PGWP application,
both of them got approval.
Here are the instructions in my upload section, I didn't see they ask EE applicants provide a photo that taken within 6 months but i still want to confirm :
Temporary residents (students, workers, visitors), Express Entry and Canadian citizenship certificate
