TLDR : Answer Summary

The user raises a question about the requirement for time and date stamps on passport scan photos for a visa application, asking if metadata from an iPhone showing "today 1pm" is sufficient.

Document indicating current location: Please provide the latest copy of your full passport, including all pages (even the empty ones). If you have a Temporary Resident Card (TRC), kindly submit it along with the passport. The photos must show the date and time they were taken.
