For those who received PPRs - I’ve heard that the photograph specifications aren’t very straight forward, is that true?
Can someone plz copy-paste what you’ve seen about it? Also, where in US people usually get their photographs from? Do you click at home and get them printed some where? Or visiting studio is recommended?
I’m taking my PPR hopes to the next level and keeping everything ready

They are very straightforward ... The details I think would be in PPR mail.
See this link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/citizenship-application-photograph-specifications.html
Towards the end of the page

I have heard Walgreens, Walmart and Costco. Costco seems to be the better option. Do not click at home as you need stamp at back of photo.

Visiting studio is highly recommended.

Thanks @cansha!
I thought Costco only printed pictures. So do u mean I get clicked at studio and printed at Costco?

Never used it but people have mentioned they do click photos. may be it is location specific.

The photo specs are here: https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445eb-e.pdf

This link is from the PPR mail...

It's also available here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/apply-renew-replace/photo.html

I just took it yest, its a weird size, 2 inches wide, 2 and 3/4 inches tall. Need to submit 2 photos per person on the application

And on one photo per person, there is a requirement for the Studio to stamp/write the date and details of the studio and write the persons name and DOB. (see the right side on the pdf link I've shared).

All the best!

CVS clicks and prints photos for country-specific requirements.

Yo June folks!! How are you all doing?

Today I entered the "PPR expectations are high!" zone. Based on the data we have I think if I'm lucky I should hear something from Montreal in this week. And if it is not in this week then who knows how long they will take.

Till now I have been patient (albeit forcibly and not that I'm virtuous) ... BUT not anymore. Let's see what does the last week of November has in store for us.

All the best to my Oct15/16 25/26 IP2, Ghost Update and "Sydney why are you sleeping?" club friends! Hope this week is good for each and everyone of us.

I don’t know how those fit in to the picture here. But to your original question your passport needs to have a validity of 6 months and it is mentioned in PPR mail. Seems like you are inland candidate so someone inland who got interview request recently can attest to whether the same holds true for inland candidates or not.

Thanks Cansha. Yes i am inland candidate.
Also do you know how long they take to process the application after you submit additional docx procedural fairness.
