Canada Pièce d’identité / Permis from Suisse: identity-document crop only
Scope lock: Canada Pièce d’identité / Permis is an identity / residence-style document page, kept separate from passport and licence URLs.
Even when your FotoPass market shows Suisse, a Canada Pièce d’identité / Permis must still meet Canada photo law for that document — local domestic sizes are a different product.
This article is scoped to Canada Pièce d’identité / Permis as a Canada identity / residence-style photo (50 × 70 mm, Blanc), kept separate from passport and licence pages.
Cross-border ID work: market Suisse, photo law Canada for Canada Pièce d’identité / Permis. Passport and licence copy stay on other URLs.
Canadian passport prints are often 50 × 70 mm. Canada Pièce d’identité / Permis here is 50 × 70 mm — a common dual-citizen mistake is uploading the Canadian strip unchanged.
Home-market tip: Suisse passport photos are commonly about 35 × 45 mm. Canada Pièce d’identité / Permis instead demands 50 × 70 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From Suisse: selfie → Canada Pièce d’identité / Permis → upload → use the export for Canada registry / residence filings.
Why Suisse defaults fail Canada ID checks
A 35 × 45 mm Suisse print is not automatically a valid 50 × 70 mm ID crop for Canada Pièce d’identité / Permis.
Registries want a plain Blanc field and a current likeness — not a reused travel JPEG.
