I am a Filipino, but working in Papua New Guinea. So outland, applying for the Manitoba PNP.
They received my application yesterday thru DHL, signed by "DAVE" from CIO.

I am just worried,as I checked the GUIDE P7000 today, they have new uploaded forms now updated this month also NOV. Even the photo specs on the APPENDIX-A, is different now 50mmx70mm and 31-36mm face size.

Which the one I passed was 35-45mm and 25-30mm-face. I cannot do much now but wait if they will return it again, its my second application actually.

You? Are you paper-based or Express Entry?

Yes i saw they updated imm0008 generic form this november and i update as well in my application but i did not know about photograph changes . I also send 6 photo same size as you send it. But they change now 50*70mm. But i saw check list and still they say 6 photographs. But in appendix A they said to send 2 photoss only of 50*70 mm. They make everything confusing. But i do not think photograph will make any difference. They might ask for new ones later. And did they returened your first application? What was reason??

hi Param,

Isn't it surprising and frustrating at the same time? Geez! I hope the photo specs will not affect my application and they will just ask for the correct one (whatever they want) later. Appendix-A and Document checklist are saying 2-difference ideas. I don't know which one is correct. But I followed the checklist instead.

The first application was returned as I forgot to sign SCHEDULE-4, the fund declaration form, so careless, I am! Grrrr! I sent it first last APR-2015, they emailed us AUG-2015 that they mailed back the package MAY-2015, so I waited for 3-months, then SEP-2015 the returned package reached me, that's the time I found out the reason. Their previous email saying it was deemed incomplete didnt specified the reason. Only a general email saying they returned it.

my IELTS was expired my LOA was expired. So I asked for a new one again for both. Wasting lots of time. I am really worried now.

Is this your first time to pass the application?

Yes lizzy this is my first time sending my application.. I got my pnp approval 2 weeks ago. So i just send a federal application. I checked whole appication like 7-8 times.. Lol... Everything signed.. But i checked photo specification last week but i was having no idea that they will change photo specification as well. I hope photo will not make any difference.. Or i am planning to send photo in separate envelope. I can write date when i sent it and date when they receive and all personal information . So what you think, will that be a good idea??

Hi Mim23! How are you? Yeah all three of us in the family (mine,spouse & baby) have passed our photos.
I just followed the DOCUMENT CHECKLIST, name of the person on the photo, birthday, date taken, (OCT-14,2015) and signature, for 5photos. I left the 6th photo blank. I didnt put details of the photographer.

How about you? Have you read the APPENDIX-A, already. ITs totally different from the checklist.

Param
Param, so you mean only 4photos are signed? 5th photo was the stamp? and the 6th blank?
Because as I read from the checklist, it clearly stated there:

On the back of five (5) photographs, write the name and date of the birth of the person who appears in the photo as well as the date the photo was taken. Leave the sixth photograph blank.

Mim23, The previous APPENDIX-A doesn't require the photographer's details. Only the family's (yes we (3) are all travelling to Canada) details on 5 photos and the 6th blank.

But on this link, (pls check below)

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EP7TOC.asp#appendixA

The photo requirements are totally different. SO I am confused which one needs to be followed. CHECKLIST or THE APPENDIX-A which is just updated now, NOV-2015!

All three of us just passed the package on this same month too. Not knowing the APPENDIX-A already changed.

Hello lizzy,

Oh yeah, we are on the same both Param. I guess they will not entertain any additional item like photo or form, outside the package envelope. Unless they requested for it.

(WE might not have any choice but to wait, an AOR or a request, or a returned package...again....huhuhu!)

By the way, I check the GENERIC FORM, and everything are just the same. Only the DATE shown at the lower left side of the form is different. The rest are the same. I hope they will consider mine... cross fingers and lots ot prayers!

Mim23, are you still single? or married already?
