Hi,

I am a bit confused about the requirements on the photo that needs to be uploaded in my ITA.

When reviewing requirements on the http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp in the pdf file with photo specifications it says that the photo should be 50x70mm

However, when clicking on the question mark on the document checklist page - it says photo must be at least 35x45mm.


So which one is it?

Yes but some places say that passport photo and pr photo is the same (5x7) and some places have PR photo at 3,5 x 4.5

Hello

Please take your photo in 50x70 mm
that's the standard pic when applying for Canada. the document checklist may not be updated
the same photograph in ITA is used for your PR card as well, if you don't upload the 50x70mm pic they will send you an email asking you to retake the photo at the time of PR card issue

Please note the words at least, which means a minimum of. Therefore you can use the 50 x 70 as well.
