About this photo

Canadian Visa (Visitor, Study, Work) photos are printed at 35 by 45 mm, the size the IRCC works with. A white or light-coloured background is accepted, as long as it is uniform and without pattern. Head height from chin to crown is 31 to 36 mm. Plain white or light-coloured background. A photo taken at home with a phone is fine provided it meets these rules; ask someone else to take it at eye level. Applications are made with printed photos, so you need a physical copy rather than an upload. Upload your picture and we size it for the Canadian Visa (Visitor, Study, Work), replace the background and verify the proportions before checkout.
