Canada Passport Photo 50x70mm Checker

Official Canada Passport Photo Dimensions & Requirements (50x70mm)

Canadian passports use a unique 50x70mm photo size, which is larger than standard visa photos. This is why reusing a 35x45mm visa photo or a square passport-style crop can lead to rejection.

• Dimensions: 50mm wide x 70mm high.
• Head Size: Chin to crown must be between 31mm and 36mm.
• Background: Plain white or light-colored.
• Expression: Neutral expression, mouth closed.

Canada Passport Photos Are Different From Canada Visa Photos

For Canadian passport applications, you typically need two identical printed photos and the back of one photo may need photographer information. The crop itself must be 50x70mm with the chin-to-crown head height measured carefully.

• Canada passport: 50mm x 70mm.
• Canada visa/TRV/study/work permit: usually 35mm x 45mm.
• Do not reuse a Canada visa photo for a passport application without reformatting.
