Canadian Immigration Photos
Specifications (Canada Immigration Pictures Size)
One feedback from a customer:

• Canada Immigration
photographs are not the same as passport photographs. They are also
materially different from Canada Visa photos when it comes to head size.
The immigration photos require 25 x 30mm from chin to crown while Visa
photos require 31mm x 35 mm!
Please note that Canada
Immigration photos require the Date Photo Was Taken on the back of one
of the photos. This is for you to mention when this photo was taken.
(OnlinePassportphotos.com will NOT do this for you as we do not know
when the photo was actually taken)
The photographs must:
• show a full front view of the person’s head and shoulders showing
full face centered in the middle of the photograph;
• have a plain white background;
• measure between 25mm
and 30mm (1" and 1 1/5") from chin to crown;
• have
a 35mm x 45mm (1 3/8" x 1 3/4") finished size;

Notes for Canada Immigration
photos:
- Show a full front view
of the person's head showing full face centered in the middle of
the photo;
- be clear, well-defined
and taken against a plain white background without shadows;
- be produced from the
same unretouched film or from the same file capturing the digital
image or from two identical photos exposed simultaneously by a split-image
or multi-lens camera;
- be original photos (not
taken from any existing photo);
- measure between 25mm
and 30mm (1" and 1 1/5") from chin to crown;
- have a 35mm x 45mm (1
3/8" x 1 3/4") finished size;
- be on photographic paper
that has a backing which accepts and retains the date. Photos without
this backing are not acceptable;
- be on prints that are
well-fixed and washed to prevent discolouration;
- bear the date the photo
was taken (not the date the photo was printed) directly on the back
of one print (stick on lablels are not acceptable).
