Stupid question but eh! with CIC we never know... :-[

Do they only accept pictures printed out on "photo paper" or I can print 2-3 photos on a "normal 8.5X11 office paper" (not glossy) with the explication next to each pic ?
 
I printed out mine, with 2 -3 photos per page, no glossy paper, just standard paper with the explanation next to them by hand. They were accepted, received FSA (First Stage of Approval).
 
That's a great way to do it. Pictures in a word document with captions printed on plain paper is perfectly fine. I wish I'd done it, it would've saved me some money and made my application a bit neater.
 
I had mine printed from Staples on photo paper, approved as sponsor, I'm sure it's a non-issue. Good luck!

man, staples aint cheap - that must have been quite a bill!

We used Word - created a little two column, 5 row high table, added date, location, event and people in the pic as info on the side, placed the pic in the right hand side (after merging the rows on hat side)

printed straight on normal pinter paper, 28g i think, came out perfectly clean and clear.
 
I do not think it matters at all, it is more important you have each photo labeled location, date, and people in the photo on the back. I used Avery labels to make it all neat. Some of the photos I printed myself on 4x6 some I had done at Costco (15c each) or Wal-Mart. Basically .15c/pic is cheaper then you can possibly do it borderless on glossy paper yourself. We sent in 81 pictures originally (Wedding + three visits) and I am sending my Wife a Update in case she has a interview 82-106 of our recent family vacation.
