It was changed in August 2017 to 50 mm x 70 mm (2″ x 2 ¾″) and used to be smaller than that before
Yup. When I went to take my photo I had remembered it was 50x70 and the photographer in the corner store asked what for. I said Citizienship. He was like that's not the right size. I showed him on my phone, and he was like "OK Whatever, Lets Go".

many of us have given addresses or employment dating back 2010

Why would some people give employment history from 2010, when they form clearly says within the "eligibility period"... which cannot be older than 2012 (if you are applying between now and december)?

As I wrote on another thread in regards to photos, I suggest you guys use Costco (if you or relatives... are members). They already have the latest specifications and instructions and it costs less than $7

On the photo spec, it says:

  • Your photographs must comply with the specifications below. If the photographs do not meet the specifications, you will have to provide new photographs before your application can be processed.
Maybe they wont return the application, just ask for you to submit new photos. Wait a month or 45 days to find out.
Thanks

Hi guys,

I just discovered that the studio I went to take my photo in Calgary printed me the old specification even though i told them about the new specification and the guy told me they are aware of the recent change and that the settings in their system would automatically print out the new photo size. I believed him and thought they know what they were doing. I got to know mine was the wrong size when I took a friend there yesterday and I noticed the size that was printed for him was bigger than the one they did for me last month so I ask what was going on and the guy was telling me stories bla bla.

Now I'm not sure if my application would be returned because of this? Any idea what could happen to my application? anybody once in this kind of situation with wrong citizenship photo size? Anything I can do to safe my application from getting returned?

Thanks guys
I told mine photographer just to make two passport photos and stamp both, she said usually I stamp only one. I said that's what they want now .
She agreed.
End of story.

I Hope it too, it's mentioned everywhere that your application will be returned if it's imcomplete,but about pictures it's mentionned they ll request others prior to get your application processed,which loggically would mean they wont return your application.
In my opinion it heavily depends on officer cause apparently some had their applucation returned.

i see, yeah the officer in charge too is the greatest worry, just pray it wont even be noticeable by him

If you satisfy the 1095 residency requirement, then you can apply now. Fill in the online calculator and see what it says.

I've been looking for where it says what happens, if you don't include the checklist .. couldn't find a definite, except that one needs to be submitted ..
Would they return the app .. and where does it say so ..?

At the end of the Document checklist (CIT0007E), it says, "Mail your fully completed application form and all required documents with this checklist to: ......(Include this complted documents checklist with your application package). "


But it doesn't say whether an applicaion would be returned if the checklist is not included.
