Hi guys, my friend was asked by CIC to send 2 pics fogether with passport. We both read the instructions. Do both pictures need to be stamped by photographer or only one of them? All our friends said that she needs 2 pics to be stamped, but CIC instructions state to leave one pic blank?! Ur advice will be highly appreciated!

CIC instructions are quite clear about it:

"One photo must be left blank" (this phrase is even bolded in the instructions).

Thank you, lammawitch! Funny enough, we went to Walmart in Calgary today and the lady told us that both pics need to be stamped:) We insisted on one to be left blank.

This happened to me a couple of years ago, even though I had the CIC requirements in my hand!! I had to *insist* too.
