For express entry application:
  1. Can I upload a already taken photo which is more than 6 months old?
  2. Do I need to scan the back-side of the photo or just the unscanned digital version in JPEG for format would do?
  3. Do I need to upload 2 copies of my photo or 1 copy will work?
 
Similar questions here. I received an ITA, so it's for the part where they ask for all the documents.

I found a thread here that talks about the digital photo - post ITA, but the answer is confusing. I would like to know if the digital copy you get at a professional photograph studio is enough (download and upload) or the back (with studio stamp, BOD, address, date) is also needed.

These are the specifications I read: https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/i...ormation/applications/guides/pdf/5445eb-e.pdf
It does mention the back part but I'm still not sure if it's for this stage of the application, and if it is, how to attach the receipt or a separate document if one is PNG or JPEG and the other one is a pdf (scan), and the platform doesn't let you upload more than one document per section.

If it's useful for anyone, I took my PR Photo at London Drugs (https://www.londondrugs.com/permanent-resident-photos) and they charged me 30 dollars (need to pay for the physical pictures even if I don't need them).
