Canada Passeport travel-document photo guide (Canada)
Scope lock: this URL is for Canada Passeport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
This Canada page manufactures a passport / travel-document headshot for Canada Passeport — border and renewal systems, not a driving-licence desk.
This article is scoped to Canada Passeport as a Canada travel / passport photo (50 × 70 mm, Blanc). Driving-licence and national-ID wording is not pasted here.
Canadian passport prints are often 50 × 70 mm. Canada Passeport here is 50 × 70 mm — a common dual-citizen mistake is uploading the Canadian strip unchanged.
Shoot facing a window or soft lamp, shoulders square, no beauty filters. Upload here so FotoPass locks the biometric frame for 50 × 70 mm on Blanc used by Canada passport processors.
If an older foreign crop or licence JPEG failed at renewal, do not stretch it into a travel document. Start with Canada Passeport selected and a fresh selfie.
Border & passport-office checks for Canada Passeport
Canada passport reviewers flag wrong head height, eye line, patterned walls, wide smiles and glare. Keep a plain Blanc field behind you.
Civilian clothes only — uniforms and camouflage are classic travel-document refusals. Religious coverings that show the full face are usually fine when Canada policy allows them.
Passport renewal upload vs print pack
Online passport renewals want a sharp JPEG near the pixels implied by 50 × 70 mm. Paper packets may still need a physical 50 × 70 mm print — finish the biometric crop first, then choose output.
Reread the live Canada passport form the day you file; kilobyte caps change more often than the print millimetres.
Canada passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to Canada Passeport only: 50 × 70 mm on a Blanc background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.
Queries such as “Canada passport photo size” and “biometric passport photo” should land here — not on a driving-licence tool with a coincidentally similar millimetre size.
Canada passport note
IRCC passport prints are commonly 50 × 70 mm. Canada Passeport here locks 50 × 70 mm — a frequent dual-citizen mix-up with US 2×2.
