Passport Photos

[R&N 0]

Hello all.

I am putting together stuff for my interview at the Montreal consulate, i had a question about the passport photos:

Does it matter if the photos are Canadian or American standard. I think they will accept either or, just need a clarification.

Thanks in advance for all your responses

They should follow the American standards, as listed on the form from Montreal.

I got mine at Blacks and they had the standard American info in the store

I had mine done at a CAA office and they also did it to American specs.

Hi there, I know when we got our packet three it stated right in the letter the photo's required, but I laughed because it said US passport photos and listed the measurements 2x2 I think, and then it said, "the same as Canadian Passport photos, which is wrong! Ours are a little bigger. So I emailed the consulate, she said US passport photo sizes, but that not to worry, us and canadian photos have the same size requirements! I went with the US size, and had no problems. Its amazing any of us have any hair left on our heads after this whole process! LOL Good luck and take care.

The walmart I went to here does the US standard. I just had extra copies made back in Dec. when we sent off the petition. They were fine for the medical and interview.

OH for #######'s sake, are you kidding me?

Good. GODDDDDDDDDDDD!

I got 4 passport pics done yesterday for the DS230 and the Medical -- please don't tell me that I have to get them done again for a 3rd of an inch or less? It's not like they're mounting them in a passport, are they???

God damnit.

God.

Aaaaaaaaaagh.

You can always use them and see what happens.

They use one of them when they print your visa... otherwise, who the heck knows where they go. I remember reading a thread a while back where someone e-mailed the Montreal consulate and they told them the Canadian sized photos were fine. I never heard the follow up though! They don't seem to know the sizes are different.

I got mine done at Walgreens when I was visiting my fiance for $7 a pair. Not bad!

I really don't see them pulling out a ruler to check, why not try and see if they work. Worse comes to worse you'll get an RFE to submit some new photos

All of the photos I sent throughout the process were 2 x 2 (US specs). Had mine done at Shopper's Drug Mart - 2 for $9.99. They had the templates for multiple countries.

Wouldn't put it past them to pull out the ruler though! I recall someone that had their Expresspost envelope measured.

yep, that's where I got mine done too. After the commute home, I feel much better about it and I'll get a couple more done. Why not? maybe this time I can avoid looking like Cruella D'Ville in them.

Oh and yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at them pulling out a ruler either.

Oh well, it's just the way it is.
