Medical Photo Vs Immigration Photo

[Brad_N]

Hi All,

Does anyone know whether the medical photos need to match the immigration photos exactly?

I made a silly mistake and got a set taken that were not perfect (my head was not centred vertically), so took another set and got it right.

But I decided to keep the better set for the immigration photos and use the less than perfect set for the medical photos. Now I am stressing about whether I should submit the perfect set with my application or get copies made of the less than perfect set so that they all match, but risk having them rejected.

Do the absolutely need to match? they were both taken 5 minutes apart so they are really simlar, just one set are out of allignment.

I feel pretty silly about this, I got the medical done a couple of months ago before I was familar with the process.

Thanks

Brad

-What you meant by kept the perfect set for immigration photo? Havn't you submitted the immigration photos with the initial application already?
I guess there is not concrete answer about your concern. As long as the photos match with the immigration office requirements you will be fine. It does not need to be exactly matched up with the previous immigration photos. Still if this is bothering you too much, you may forward another set of photos to the immigration office and request them to consider those. Mention your file number in the covering letter.
I guess you shouldn't be worried that much for this.
Good luck!

Thank you.

No sorry I have not submitted the immigration application yet, we are just pulling it all together now.

So perhaps I should go and get 12 taken now, submit the 8 suggested in the document checklist - then submit 4 identicle additionals with a note to say these are a replacement for the 4 medical photos if they don't meet specification.

sound like a good idea? think that will work?

thanks!

- How you did your medical before submitting the immigration application?

[Brad_N]

You can just go in and get it done anytime, they are valid for 12 months I believe. The DMP gives you a receipt which you submit with your application.

I thought thats what most people did? Medical before submitting application?

-Did you apply under skilled worker program or spouse category?

Thank you.

-Okay. I thought it was skilled worker application. Anyway, you are right, you may forward the photographs you took and as you planned already.

Wish you good luck.

Thanks
