Just wondering if for your interview you cut your passport pictures yourself to the 5cmx5cm requirement?

Or did you just bring them in as is?

I printed 6 on a 4x6 and cut them... costed me 30¢ or so for all my pictures (application forms, medical, interview...) - easy to do if you have a tripod or a friend to take your picture on a white background. Did the same for my husband American passport pictures. Contrary to Canadian requirements, you can take your own pictures, if you are comfortable doing so...

I didn't cut mine. When you go in to get them done tell them you're doing it for Immigration to the US. The US requires a different size than Canada, so the company taking your photo will make them that size for you.

Just Breathe did the photos themselves, which you can do, but they should be trimmed to the right size before the interview. :) Saves you some $$ if you can do it yourself!

I told them why I was doing it and they gave me 7 undated photos for $29 :) Usually it's only two for that price!

Just to update everyone --

I had my interview and they did not care that they were not to USA standards. They had my Canadian sized passport photos attached to the forms, no issues. I brought more pictures that were to USA standards and they did not need them.
