Canada passport photo rules
- What size is a Canada passport photo? A Canada passport photo is 50×70mm (1.97×2.76 inches) on a white background.
- Can you smile in a Canada passport photo? No. A neutral expression with the mouth closed is required.
- Can you wear glasses in a Canada passport photo? No. Glasses are not permitted; remove them before taking the photo.
- Can you wear a head covering? Permitted only for religious beliefs or medical reasons; the full face must be visible.
Practical checks before you submit
- Canada uses a taller 50×70mm passport photo, so do not crop it like a standard 35×45mm visa photo.
- The head size range matters more than filling the whole frame; keep shoulders visible and avoid zooming too tightly.
