How the Canadian passport photo process works

A Canadian passport photo is 50×70 mm with the face measuring 31–36 mm from chin to crown, on a plain white or light-coloured background. Canada is strict about prints: the photo must come from a commercial photographer and the back must carry the studio's name, address, and the date taken, plus a guarantor or the photographer's stamp for some applications. That means a home-made digital file alone usually isn't accepted for the passport itself — but Snapfora is ideal for getting the framing and 50×70 mm sizing right first, and for Canadian visa and PR online portals that do accept self-supplied digital photos.

Printing a Canadian passport photo

For the passport, use a commercial photographer who stamps the back — that's a hard requirement. For Canadian visa, study-permit, and PR online applications that accept digital photos, Snapfora's 50×70 mm output (or the portal's pixel size) is enough; upload the JPEG directly and keep it under the stated file limit.
