FAQ
What size is a Canadian visa photo?
Canadian visa photos (for temporary resident visas, study permits, work permits, and other IRCC documents) must be 35 mm wide and 45 mm tall. This is a different size from the 50×70 mm used for Canadian passports.
Is the Canadian visa photo the same size as the passport photo?
No. Canadian passport photos are 50×70 mm, while visa and immigration application photos are 35×45 mm. Always verify the required format for your specific application form.
What background colour is required for a Canadian visa photo?
The background must be plain white with no shadows, gradients, or patterns.
Does my photo get uploaded to your servers?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your photo is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere.
Is this tool free?
Yes — completely free. No account, no payment, unlimited downloads.
Can I upload a digital copy to the IRCC portal?
Yes. The exported PNG file meets the IRCC digital photo requirements for online applications (white background, correct proportions, minimum resolution). Check the IRCC website for the latest file size and format limits.
Where can I print Canadian visa photos?
Take the print sheet to Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Walmart Photo, or any FedEx Office. Request a standard 4×6-inch print and the 35×45 mm photos will be sized correctly.
