About this photo
A Canadian NEXUS Card photo for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is 50 by 70 mm when printed. The Canada Border Services Agency takes your photo at the counter when you apply, so a photo of your own is usually not needed for this document. Head height from chin to crown is 49 to 56 mm. Behind you: plain white, lit evenly so no shadow falls on the face or the wall. Neutral expression, eyes open, mouth closed, looking straight at the camera. This one is still a paper process, which means printed photos and no online upload. Our service frames the NEXUS Card photo to these measurements, cleans the background and checks it against the rules before any payment.
