I was just reading about the interview (mine has not been scheduled yet) and I read that we must take two 2x2" photos of ourselves along. Now, I thought Canadian passport photos like the ones taken at Black's or Shopper's Drug Mart are 2.75"x2". Is that correct? If so, how/where do we obtain the correctly sized photos?

Thanks!

The beneficiary (the one being interviewed) is the only one that takes the pictures in. One of them in fact is the one that appears on your visa that's placed in your passport. I went to a photoshop across the street from my workplace that did passport photo's. I told them they MUST be 2x2 as per U.S. regulations. They knew about this, and produced same. Same price as from somewhere else as well.

I got mine done at a local CAA location, they asked me what size I needed and I didn't know at first but the girl behind the counter was able to go online and do a search for me. She was so helpful and she saved me a trip. I sent my photos in with my DS-230 so I hope they have it at the interview. I'll probably get another pair of photos just in case. Oh and it was cheap, only $12 for the photos, free if you have Premium CAA membership. I have an AMA membership so I don't think it's free unless I'm in the US taking the photos.

I just asked for 2 passport photos for the U.S. I went to Japan camera and they made up for me..no problem. I went for my interview yesterday in Montreal and also had already sent 2 in t the NVC. I also took 2 more just in case but there was no need as they had the ones I had sent in with the paperwork from the NVC.

I went to a photo shop- I think it was a Blacks. The guy who did my picture used to work in the US and knew exactly what I needed.

I don't think you should have any problems- just call around and ask before you go.
