What's the standard for the photo for PAL application? As in, what kind of paper should it be printed on? Also, should I wait and follow the Restricted course and then ask for PAL/RPAL or can I apply for a PAL right now and later on apply for RPAL once my course is done?

If you go to a shoppers drug mart and tell them its for a PAL photo they will know the dimensions you need and print you out the right photo.
