Where can I have PR photos taken around Vancouver, BC? I heard that you can get them at London Drugs, is this true? I would assume so, since they're the same specifications as passport photos now, but I wanted to double check.

Got mine done at London drugs on granville. Just take the country specific guide with you for the specs. Should be able to do it.
 
Yes, the PR Card photos are finally the same spec as a passport photo. The only difference is that one of the photos needs information on the back of the photo.
 
Thank you for the replies. Yeah, I imagine it wouldn't bee too hard for them to write the required information on the back of a photo. I'm going out today to get them taken.
 
I had my photos taken at London Drugs and got the correct amount with one of them stamped on the back. The only thing is, she used the normal stamp they use for passport photos, which does give the name and address of the studio, but it also leaves a spot for the name of the subject and the signature of the person taking the photo. The thing is, she didn't sign it and she left it blank besides the stamp. I know that for PR photos I don't need them to sign it, but I wrote in my name and date of birth on the back. Is this alright? I'm not too worried, because the photos are the required specifications and have the required information in the back, but I'm paranoid.
 
Does anyone have an idea whether or not this will be alright? I want to mail off my application package tomorrow.

Hi! I have this same case. Did you have any issue with it? Thanks in advance for your reply!
