Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Canadian passport photos different from other countries?

Canadian passport photos must be 50×70mm with very specific requirements: head must measure 31-36mm from chin to crown, photos must be taken within the last 6 months, and the photographer must sign and date the back of one photo with their full address.

Can I use an ICAO standard 35×45mm photo for Canadian passports?

No, Canada specifically requires 50×70mm photos and will reject applications with incorrect sizes. The larger format allows for better biometric data capture and ensures compliance with Canadian border security standards.

Do I need two identical photos for a Canadian passport?

Yes, Canadian passport applications require two identical 50×70mm photos. One photo must have the photographer's information (name, address, and date) stamped or written on the back, along with the guarantor's attestation.

What resolution should I use for Canadian passport photos?

For optimal print quality at 50×70mm, use at least 300 DPI (591×827 pixels). For digital submissions or future-proofing, 600 DPI (1181×1654 pixels) is recommended to ensure all facial details are crisp and clear.
