Hi everyone. I have come up with another issue that I would appreciate any clarification you can give me. This issue deals with photo requirements. I am a US citizen and my wife is Canadian and sponsoring me, if that matters.

So here is the issue, I found two separate links on the Canadian immigration website with two different directions.

This first link asks for 2 identical photos and gives the required measurements.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/photospecs-cit.asp



The next link has rules it says are specific to US citizens. If you scroll down to Appendix B it asks for 4 photos not 2. And it has different measurements than the first link.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3910e.pdf


I have no idea which one I need. Or maybe I need all of them, which would mean 6 total photos, 4 with one set of measurements and 2 with a different set of measurements. And then what about my wife, the sponsor? What photo requirements should she follow? Or maybe neither of these are right. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Thank you again,

Kyle

The first link is for citizenship applications. You are not applying for citizenship, you are applying for PR. So ignore that one.

So follow the rules in the country specific USA guide for PR outland applications (if you are applying outland).
