Hello all,
I have been asked to re-send photos for my pr card. this is what the instructions tell me:
Appendix A – Photo Specifications
TAKE THIS WITH YOU TO THE PHOTOGRAPHER
· THE IMMIGRATION SECTION OF THE HIGH COMMISSION OF CANADA IN SINGAPORE REQUIRES PHOTOS IN ORDER TO PREPARE YOUR CONFIRMATION OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE DOCUMENT(S).
· Immigration photographs are not the same as passport photographs.
The photographs must:
· show a full front view of the person's head and shoulders showing full face centred in the middle of the photograph;
· have a pure white background, (an off-white or coloured background is not acceptable);
· be identical (black and white or colour) produced from the same untouched negative, or exposed simultaneously by a split-image or multi-lens camera;
· have been taken within the past three (3) months.
The photographs must:
· measure between 25 mm and 30 mm (1" and 1 1/5") from chin to crown;
· have a 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8" x 1 3/4") finished size.
Please:
· enclose 2 photographs in a small envelope (use a separate envelope for each applicant);
· do not write on the back of the photographs;
· do not staple, scratch, bend or leave any ink mark on the photographs;
· write the application number and the applicant’s name on the envelope.
My photo got rejected for pr card may be because I didnt follow the specification. This time I received the following in a letter:
Image of photograph requirements
The two photos must be taken by a commercial photographer.
You may wear non-tinted and tinted prescription glasses as long as your eyes are clearly visible. Make sure that your eyes are not hidden by glare on the lenses. Sunglasses are not acceptable.
A hairpiece or other cosmetic accessory is acceptable if it does not disguise your normal appearance and you wear the accessory on a regular basis.
The photos must clearly show your face. If you may not remove your head covering for religious reasons, make sure your full facial features are visible.
Photos must have been taken within the last six months to ensure an up-to-date likeness.
Photos may be either black and white or colour.
Notes to the photographer
The two photos must:
show a full front view of the person’s head showing full face centred in the middle of the photo;
be clear, well-defined and taken against a plain white background without shadows;
be produced from the same unretouched film or from the same file capturing the digital image or from two identical photos exposed simultaneously by a split-image or multi-lens camera;
be original photos (not taken from any existing photo);
measure between 25 mm and 30 mm (1” and 1 1/5”) from chin to crown (top of hair);
have a 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8” x 1 3/4”) finished size;
be on photographic paper that has a backing which accepts and retains the date. Photos without this backing are not acceptable;
be on prints that are well-fixed and washed to prevent discolouration;
bear the date the photo was taken (not the date the photo was printed) directly on the back of one print (stick-on labels are not acceptable).
Q. So should I ask photographer to include address? or should i ask him to write date on just one photo?
