Frequently asked questions
- What size does a Canada passport photo need to be?
- 50×70 mm when printed, or 1200×1800 px at 300 DPI for a digital upload.
- What background color is required?
- Plain white, no shadows or patterns.
- What file format and size does it need to be?
- JPG format, between 200 KB and 5120 KB.
- Anything else to know?
- Standard applications require two identical 50x70 mm prints taken by a commercial photographer, with studio name/address and date stamped or handwritten on the back; face must measure 31-36 mm chin to crown. IRCC online "simple renewal" instead accepts the original unedited camera JPEG, 1200x1800 to 3000x4500 px (portrait 2:3), 200 KB-5 MB, with the face occupying 45-50% of image height. Most applicants still need an in-person photographer, not a digital upload.
