Hello,

We received a message yesterday by email from CIC after sending in our application. Its a request form saying,

***In order to continue processing your application, further information is required. You must complete and submit the following to this office within 30 days of the date of this letter (2017/03/01): 95821163 - Pirita Outi Inka Pritchard: > Passport photos: Passport size photographs (photographs must conform to the specifications outlined in the Guide to Immigrating IMM 3999 and Appendix B Photo Specifications) This must be received at this office by: 2017/03/01***

We included 4 photos originally (2 for the sponsor and 2 for the applicant). We put name, date of birth, date, studio name, studio address (although we did not sign). Our sizes that we did were according to IMM 3901E and were (50 mm x 70 mm (2 inches wide x 2 3/4 inches long) and sized so the height of the face measures between 31 mm and 36 mm (1 1/4 inches and 1 7/16 inches) from chin to crown of head (natural top of head)

ALTHOUGH Weve read some other posts saying they included 8 photos total!

1. We cant find the form imm 3999 and appendix b ANYWHERE - can some PLZ provide a link for us for EXACT measurements
2. Could someone please let us know what they may think the issue is? Not enough photos? Wrong sizes? no signature?

If we had imm 3999 appendix b we could know the issue BUT we can cant find anywhere .... Shocked

Thanks!
Jason and Pirita

IMM 3999 was the old Guide using the old forms. Basic Guide 5525 replaces IMM 3999:

Thanks, interesting it seems very similar info requirements to the new guide we were using.

It says,

"Make sure that you provide the correct number of photos specified in the Checklist."

How many photos to be exact?

I just received this same letter!! And to renew my passport (which I was told would be fine). Grrr. I feel like I have followed the instructions already so who knows what I need to do now. I will perhaps just do the same but make it obvious that I followed the instructions? Let me know how it goes for you!
