Canada Passport Photo — IRCC Compliant
Create your Canada Passport photo at home in under 3 minutes. AI-powered crop, background removal, and compliance check — all verified against official Canada government requirements.
Canadian passport photos are 50×70mm — larger and more rectangular than most other countries. IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) requires a white background with the head height between 31–36mm. The unique aspect ratio means standard "passport photos" from other countries won't work.
Shoppers Drug Mart and London Drugs are the most common places to get passport photos in Canada, charging $15–20. However, many locations produce the standard 35×45mm size rather than Canada's 50×70mm specification. Always verify the dimensions before leaving the store.
For online applications through the IRCC portal, the digital photo must be at least 420×540 pixels, JPEG format, under 5 MB. PhotoPass generates the correct dimensions and ensures the face fills the required proportion of the frame. Renewing your Indian passport from Canada?
