CANADA 2013 IEC MEGATHREAD

Hey guys, I have a quick question. I uploaded the photo of myself to myCIC and it uploaded no problem, I then filled out all the forms and submitted my application. It submitted and I received my submission letter. I check myCIC account earlier and the photo has to be a certain size. I couldn't see the size they were looking for at the time and i received no error message when I uploaded it. Will the photo disqualify me if it's too big? because I have since gone and gotten the right size for them incase they want smaller ones.

Once you had compeleted the application for the and every field was saved and validated and all marked as pending was there a submit button or does it just say pending until processed?

i see your setting up a kompass acc by the looks of it, What I can remember you once you done all that I think there was a submit button but that might not be available to you until the next wave opens.

what resolution pixel is your photo, if it comes up big then that's just the resolution pixel size mines opens up big on the computer its nothing too worry about, as long as your photo follows their specs and is at least the minimum pixel resolution size you should be ok.

how did you go about getting your photo?

Ah, so it does'nt matter how big it is, it's the res and DPI that counts. the camera it was taken on was a lumix 12mp. the photo was taken on my buddies camera, i stood in front of a white background and he emailed the pic to me, I edited it to fit my head and shoulders.

I cropped it to the size that was on this site here. http://www.idphoto4you.com/
I picked the size from this and edited the photo on my mac and it turned out well, just gotta hang on now and wait for a reply from the Canadians.

Brief update since last week: I got the verification of payment after about 3 weeks of waiting! Big relief in the end.
