Canada Passport Photo Requirements

The recorded Canadian passport print format is 50×70 mm. Canada’s official page also specifies image composition and requirements connected to the photographer and the back of printed photos. An online crop alone cannot satisfy those service and certification requirements. Read the current Government of Canada instructions and use an eligible photographer when the application requires one.
