Two colour or black-and-white photographs of yourself that were taken in the past year. The application form for citizenship comes with instructions on the type of photographs you need. Take these instructions to the photographer, and tell the photographer that you want “citizenship photographs.” The photographs must be stamped on the back with the photographer’s name and address and the date the photographs were taken. You cannot wear a head covering for this photograph unless you need to because of your religion. You must sign the bottom of the photographs on the white strip under the picture. Make sure you sign with your usual signature. Check the application form for more important information about the photographs. Children who are 14 or older must also sign their photographs. http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/resources/publications/howto-e.asp
