This might be a stupid question, BUT hey why not I still ask

In my PR card it says my eye colour is black (my mom filled this out, as she did the migration papers when we first came. I was under 18)
But my eye colour is not black, its brown. Would it be an issue if I put 'brown' as my eye colour on my citizenship applications as well as my PR extension?

eye color do change but not sure at what age they stop changing.
my response would be: 1) write what you see. If your eye color is brown, write that. 2) if you have previously said your eye color is blue and now you are saying they are black, that would be blunder. I do not think, hazel, brown, black will create any issue but they might not change it on your card. they will put what they had initially...

Well, I have the same situation for my son. I filled out his eye color as "black" when he was 1.5 years old which is reflected in the COPR and his PR card. Now, he is 7.5 years old and it's the time for citizenship application, his eyes are clearly BROW, actually "dark brown".... I typed brown but not sure if this will be an issue?

After sending the application, I found a research saying that children eye's color could change till the age of 6 years old but unfortunately I didn't attach any explanation of a such with the citizenship application, I hope the citizenship officer understands this scenario in lieu of returning or delaying our family application!!

Interesting -- I have recently got passport request and need to give details on eye color and height. As others, i also have mentioned eye color as black for myself and family but now we are realizing that it is actually "DARK brown" , I am confused if i need to change it before COPR or lets live with black eyes as this wont matter much at the end.
