庆幸!上海竟有拍摄加拿大枫叶卡的专业照相馆

女儿是加拿大籍,作为父母前去投靠女儿需要办理移民手续,因为疫情原因又给耽误了2年,最近又开始着手办理,但是遇到了一个不大不小的棘手问题,等了6个月之后,申请材料被退回来了,竟然是照片不合格。我家住在浦东,就在我家附近一家照相馆拍的。女儿得知此事后,在网上搜索到了“上海e时代数码照相馆”电话联系后确认是一家专业拍摄加拿大移民照片机构,据说已有二十余年拍摄加拿大移民照/枫叶卡照片的历史了,也是国内首家。知道这些信息后心里踏实很多,我们老两口乘地铁到莘庄站下车步行几分钟就到店了。刚说要拍加拿大移民枫叶卡照片,店小妹就把我们带进摄影室非常熟练地指导我们头发和着装要注意的事情,提醒拍照时面部不要有任何表情,放松自然即可,否则造成面部变形有被拒的风险(PS:难怪上次浦东拍的不合格呢,摄影师还让我们微笑)专业的就是不一样。照片拍好,很快就印出来了,1份4张,其中2张背面空白,另2张背面盖英文印章,还需申请人签名和写上出生年月,为了方便顾客,店里还专门贴的有签名模板(如图):

闲聊时摄影师跟我们讲之所以照片背面敲章主要是证实该照片是在商业照相馆拍摄的,而并非你随便找个地方拍出来的。主要是因为制证的需要,加拿大移民局对照片的要求非常苛刻,稍有不慎就有被拒的风险。80% 的加拿大护照、签证和公民申请被拒绝是因为您提交的照片不符合官方要求,故为了安全考虑,不要因为方便而随便找一家照相馆一拍了之,这样会给您带来很多麻烦。第一次就做对!会省事很多。
