Canada uses a passport photo size unlike any other country: 50×70 mm (5×7 cm), taller than wide. This is the only major country that doesn't use 35×45 mm (Schengen) or 51×51 mm (U.S.). The unique format means U.S. drugstores (CVS, Walgreens) cannot print Canadian passport photos at all — they only stock 2×2 in and 35×45 mm templates. Photo-Visa.Online generates the correct 50×70 mm Canadian format and the 420×540 px digital file for IRCC online renewal.
IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) has two unusual requirements: (1) for paper applications, the photographer must sign and date the back of the photo and include the studio name and address; this guarantees the photo isn't self-taken. For online renewal through IRCC's portal, the signature requirement is waived. (2) Glasses are allowed only with a medical letter explaining why they cannot be removed — opposite to the U.S. and UK rules. Photo-Visa.Online produces both the studio-signed printable layout (we attest electronically to studio standards) and the IRCC-digital file.
Top reasons IRCC rejects Canadian passport photos: wrong size (most submitting U.S. 2×2 in by mistake — ~35% of rejections), missing photographer signature on back, head too small in frame (under 31 mm), background not uniform (shadows or color cast), glasses without medical note, smile or open mouth, hair covering eyes, photo over 6 months old. Photo-Visa.Online checks all dimensions and ratios against IRCC's exact published rules.
The Canadian 50×70 mm format is required for: Canadian Passport (adult), Canadian Passport (child), Permanent Resident Card (PR Card), Citizenship Certificate, Citizenship Card, Veterans Service Card, and the new Travel Document for non-Canadians. Some provincial driver's licences (BC, Ontario) accept this size for in-person renewal.
Canadian photo studios (Black's, Walmart Canada, Costco Canada) charge CAD $12–18 for two 50×70 mm prints. U.S. drugstores don't stock the format. Online services like Passport Photo and PhotoAiD charge CAD $7–10. Photo-Visa.Online delivers an IRCC-compliant digital + print-ready file from $3 USD (about CAD $4.10). Money-back guarantee: if your passport application is rejected because of the photo, we refund you.
Canadian passport photos are 50×70 mm (5×7 cm) — taller than wide. For online IRCC renewal, the digital file must be 420×540 px JPEG under 240 KB. This unique size means U.S. drugstores (CVS, Walgreens) cannot print Canadian passport photos.
For paper passport applications, yes — IRCC requires a signature, date, studio name and address on the back of each photo. For online renewal through the IRCC portal, the signature requirement is waived. Photo-Visa.Online includes a digital studio attestation on the print layout.
Glasses are allowed in Canadian passport photos only with a signed medical letter explaining why they cannot be removed (e.g., severe vision impairment or recent eye surgery). Without a medical letter, IRCC rejects photos with any glasses, including thin or rimless frames.
IRCC requires the photo to be taken within the last 6 months. If your appearance has changed significantly (new beard, weight change, removed glasses), take a fresh photo even if you have an unused older set.
Yes. The same 50×70 mm format is required for the Permanent Resident Card (PR Card), Citizenship Certificate, Citizenship Card, and Veterans Service Card. One photo session covers all Canadian identity documents.
Photo-Visa.Online charges $3 USD (about CAD $4.10) for an IRCC-compliant digital JPEG and $4 with a print-ready layout. Canadian photo studios charge CAD $12–18 for the same set. Walmart Canada is the cheapest in-store option at CAD $7–10.
