That rings a bell for me as well. I think they go by the WES reference number that you enter on your profile. I did my application nearly a year ago now though.

jwithers

Yeah that is very true, you have to enter in document numbers for the reference, think I will go with both certificates. Cant go wrong that way!

Cheers guys!!

DigitalGhost

By all means include them if you want to. I've never heard of anyone being rejected so far for submitting superfluous documentation. If they don't want/need it then they can just ignore it.

Best of luck with your application.

Just paid $6 to use this service - https://visafoto.com

Got all of the requirements right in terms of sizing etc, face looks all in good resolution but my hair/ background looks a little airbrushed. This seems a bit weird to me or am i being too fanickity, a website that claims they do all this should nail it first time right?

These are the requirements they ask for:

Frame size

• The final frame size of the photo must be at least 35mm x 45mm.
• The photographs must show a full front view of the head and tops of shoulders, with the face in the middle of the photograph.
• The size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31mm and 36mm.
• Digital dimensions are often expressed in pixels or DPI (dots per inch). The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540.

Quality/resolution

If an existing photo is being scanned, the minimum resolution must be 600 pixels per inch.

File format

• The file may be submitted in JPEG or JPEG2000 format.
• The final size of the image should ideally be 240 kB (kilobytes), but not less than 60 kB.
• The image must be in colour (24 bits per pixel) in RGB colour space, which is the common output for most digital cameras.

P.s has anyone done a UK police certificate from Canada and paid for the enhanced posting? How long did it take to arrive?

Cheers

No idea on the photos question, but just had to say this is the best autocorrect ever!

Need some help please.

I sent off my application back on June 12th however last Wednesday I left my current job.

It says that I need to update them if my application changes but I don't see anywhere to do that, there isn't any buttons to edit or anything.

I have the years work experience, on the express entry route and my visa isn't tied to my old job. I have til feb 2018 on my current work/holiday visa so time isn't an issue, I just don't want them to check my current job, see it isn't there and refuse my application. Can somebody help please?

This is exactly what I did when they rejected mine, i.e. sent them photos 3 and 4 from the 4 photo set. Surprise surprise was accepted that time.

Engineer_abroad

Oh don't worry! That's your landing interview - it's standard!! It's the formality you go through whether you arrive at the airport, at the border - or as in this case - an inland office. You lucked out - they aren't making you go to the border!

Here's a link that might help to put your mind at rest - the process is very similar to that which they are describing for the phone landing
New Way to Validate your Confirmation of Permanent Residency

I had an inland landing and it was really nice and simple. They will ask you for your COPR, passport, etc., and then ask you about 4-5 questions which consist of 'has anything changed' 'have you committed any crimes / been convicted' 'is there anyone that wasn't included on your application' 'what colour are your eyes' or similar - then 'sign inside the lines in the box'


Congrats and 'Welcome to Canada, eh!'

jwithers

Amazing thank you!

Fingers crossed it all goes well, I left my job 2 weeks ago so hopefully that doesn't affect anything. I had been there well over a year!

Cheers
