Canadian passport photos require professional capture—not cosmetic editing
For paper applications, current Government of Canada specifications require a 50 mm × 70 mm photo with chin-to-crown face height between 31 mm and 36 mm. Photos must be clear, evenly lit, unaltered and taken by a commercial photographer or studio.
Digital renewals are different
Online passport renewal uses a digital JPEG with different pixel and file-size requirements. Tell us whether you are applying online or on paper so we prepare the correct output.
Requirements can change. Bring or identify the current application/document so the correct photo specification can be checked.
