Hi friends,

Will CIC reject my application if I used passport size photo taken more than 6 months ago? I submitted my express entry application with a photo taken about 9 months ago.

So what date did you put on the back for when the photo was taken given the 6 month requirement, did you lie/ misrepresent by putting a date within 6 months when should be 9 months ago .

I guess there is no real way for someone to tell in your application unless your appearance changes significantly but why would you for a few dollars extra not want to follow the guidelines for such an important application ?

If the photos were dated on back 9 months ago then although nobody can predict then my guess is either they will reject the application or ask for new photos which is what you should have submitted in first place.
