montreal - interview & medical photo size???

[pluvka 0]

I'm receiving very conflicting information in regards to what size the photos must be for the medical and visa interview. In my packet 3 from Montreal, it says the 5 photos I need for the interview and medical must be 50mm x 50mm, which is the same size as American passport photos. The bottom of the sheet states, 'These are the same standards for Canadian passport photos', which isn't true - Canadian passport photos are 50mm x 70mm.

For my medical I was told over the phone that I just need 'passport size photos' and they didn't seem to know if it was Canadian or American passport size.

So I called the consulate and they said it didn't matter what the size was as long as it's passport size. I don't think they understood what I meant when I asked if it was CANADIAN or AMERICAN passport size. How can it not matter? The two are very different sizes.

I am getting the medical very soon, out of town, and the photos are already done (at 50mm x 50mm). Now I am worried that they'll reject them. If the photo size is different for the medical than the interview, how can I have the same photo for both? I am so confused...

50mm x 50mm is correct

After all the worrying about picture sizes for the medical, when I gave them my photo, the first thing they did was pull out a pair of scissors and trim it by hand to fit the form they had. So don't stress about it.

The interview photos I have are the exact same ones I used for the initial I-129F petition. 50mm x 50mm, standard US passport specs.
