Dear Qorax,

I've seen this photo specification needed for PR card in cic website, but can you clear the last 3 points if this are really required, do the photographer here in Dubai would know if I show this requirements?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

NOTES TO PHOTOGRAPHER

  • show a full front view of the person’s head showing full face centred in the middle of the photo;
  • be clear, well-defined and taken against a plain white background without shadows;
  • be produced from the same unretouched film or from the same file capturing the digital image or from two identical photos exposed simultaneously by a split-image or multi-lens camera;
  • be original photos (not taken from any existing photo);
  • New: measure between 25 mm and 30 mm (1” and 1 1/5”) from chin to crown (top of hair);
  • have a 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8″ x 1 3/4″) finished size;
  • be on photographic paper that has a backing which accepts and retains the date. Photos without this backing are not acceptable;
  • be on prints that are well-fixed and washed to prevent discolouration;
  • bear the date the photo was taken (not the date the photo was printed) directly on the back of one print (stick-on labels are not acceptable).

U don't need to see anything in the website... The PPR letter carries a Photo Spec Sheet for the Photographer... this specs r the ones required for our PR Cards. And every photographer, worth his salt, can print our pics to that size/dimensions if u show them that sheet. My street corner studio@Dubai did it for me in a jiffy.

U need the CV for what?
If it's for applying for PR - note that u don't require a CV for it. Your job ref letters, labour contract, org.chart, work mails/docs etc. suffices. Anything & many things that could prove your 'actual' experience to that NOC.

At the port of entry, do we need to mention that we have not come to Canada for settlement now?!? since we will just stay for 2 wks to apply for the PR cards, Health Card (MB) & SIN.

THanks!

Sure, but Immigration Officer might tell you to get your PR cards at a later time when you are here for good.

Very informative post. Thanks Qorax.

I have some questions:
1. I plan to carry only my personal stuff (clothes, camera, laptops, blank CDs, pre-written DVDs, money, jewelery, utensils etc) during landing. So I understand that all these items must be listed in the "on person" list. Now I will leave Canada after 3 weeks and will return after 6 months for final settlement. Do I have to list any items in Goods to follow list as well in this case ? Most of the things I will carry while landing, I will be taking those items only later as well.

2. Do we need to declare the jewelery items (and carry their pics) when I return to Canada second time ? I suppose that time, I can enter without any formalities as I will have the PRC with me by then.
