The CIC site says 50x70mm: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/photospecs-cit.asp.

However the Shoppers Drug Mart I went to said they typically do 35x45mm (as is also mentioned in other sites) for citizenship applications.

Which one is it?

Do whats on your instruction guide. This lady at staples kept arguing with me. The thing is they change requirements. Everytime its annoying how these people want to tell you what is rught or not. I gave her the form and she refused to read it saying she has been doing it and thats how it is like B please!!! I had to insist to get both stamped if not. She gave me some bull story of how it will be returned if both were stamped

Thanks, I had a big argument with the woman at Shoppers myself. Showed her the actual CIC link, and even then she was saying that she's only done 35x45mm photos for citizenship applications, and made me doubt myself.

Trust me she made me feel stupid. I was beginning to think photos mean one. But thanks to you i never realised the measurements were important too. i checked mine now and its 50*70. Phew thank God. This forum is good. You see things you migt have missed out

Just ask them to have your passport photos made. The cic has made a change and now all the photos (PR, Citizenship, Passport) are of the same size 50x70mm, with same specifications.

Just ask them to make you passport photos :) or go to Costco.

London Drugs all the way. The photographer corrected me saying the dimensions have changed. Super professional and cheapest after costco. $11.99. Everywhere else was much more.
