Hi Guys,

Just a pondering thought....

"IF" I got a JOB OFFER from a Canadian Employer, will my application to CIC be faster???

What do you think? And how are we going to inform CIC? Will they expedite the papers that has a job offer with it?
Job offer is defined as job with LMIA. If you are paper based, once it reaches the stage of CIC, everyone follows the same queue and they will not expedite. EE has an advantage of 6 months process time.

Mim23, The previous APPENDIX-A doesn't require the photographer's details. Only the family's (yes we (3) are all travelling to Canada) details on 5 photos and the 6th blank.

But on this link, (pls check below)

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EP7TOC.asp#appendixA

The photo requirements are totally different. SO I am confused which one needs to be followed. CHECKLIST or THE APPENDIX-A which is just updated now, NOV-2015!

All three of us just passed the package on this same month too. Not knowing the APPENDIX-A already changed.



HELLO GUYS, I THINK WE SHOULD FOLLOW THE CHECKLIST KASI YUN ANG INCLUDED SA DOCS NA ISESEND SA CIC. AND PHOTO REQUIREMENTS DIFFER FROM CATEGORIES WHICH YOU ARE APPLYING FOR. SAMIN, PROVINCIAL NOMINEE CLASS, SO ANG SINEND NAMIN IS BASED FROM THE CHECKLIST WHICH IS 6 PHOTOS FOR EACH (PRINCIPAL APPLICANT, SPUOSE AND EACH FOR ACCOMPANYING CHILDREN). ON THE BACK OF THE 5 PHOTOS, IT SHOULD BEAR THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO APPEARS IN THE PHOTOGRAPH, DATE OF BIRTH AND DATE THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN. LEAVE THE 6TH PICTURE BLANK.

Yeah, the document checklist still shows the 6pcs photo requirement. But the CIC page uploaded a new APPENDIX-A saying a different photo size and different number of photos required, that where the confusion arises. MAgkasalungat kasi ung sa checklist vs the updated APPENDIX-A Photo specifications.

What's your TIMELINE by the way?

Kami rin eh, checklist rin ang sinunod namin. Pero ung size hndi ba 50-70mm na sa bago ngaun?
Pero ang pinasa namin yung DATI pa rin, 30-45mm pa rin. ikaw ba> anong size pinasa nyo?

Ang mali ko lang yata,,, wala akong stamp or infos ng STUDIO who took the photos. :( :eek: ???
Praying na sana naman OK pa rin.

Goodluck sa atin! Sana may AOR na by JANUARY!

oo nga, ang pinasa namin size is yung bago, 50-70mm ang sinunod namin kasi sa checklist ang sabi is "refer to the IMM7000 for photo specifications" kaya sizes, yung bago ang sinonod namin. Pero kung ilang pieces and kung ano ang ilagay sa likod is sa checklist po namin ibinase.. Masyado lang tayo napaparanoid guys! hehehe ang sinulat lang namin sa likod is Name, date of birth and date the photo was taken.


OO nga sana, mabilis na. Kasi sa Facebook page ng CIC Philippines, ang bilis ng takobo ng papers nila sa CIC, within 4-6 months nag VISA on HAND na sila. Sana tayo rin.. Let's all hope for the best!

Hi All,

I have a doubt in photo specification.

In checklist they have mentioned.

Out of 6 photos 5 need have the name and DOB of the person who appear in photo and one photo blank.

In Appendix A - Photo Specifications they have mentioned as,

The back of one (1) photograph must:

bear the name and complete address of the photography studio;
bear the date the photograph was taken;
The photographer may use a stamp or handwrite this information. Stick-on labels are unacceptable.

SO totally how many photos we need to keep. 6 or 7?.

If 6 means, in back of 5 photos we need to provide name and DOB of the person who appear in photo and in 1 photo we need to write name and complete address of the photography studio?.

Am i correct?.

i believe we should leave the 6th photograph blank.
