Canada Patente from Svizzera: licence / DMV crop only
Scope lock: Canada Patente is a driving-licence / DMV-style product. Passport or green-card essays are not reused on this URL.
Even when your FotoPass market shows Svizzera, a Canada Patente must still meet Canada photo law for that document — local domestic sizes are a different product.
This article is scoped to Canada Patente as a Canada driving-licence / DMV-style photo (35 × 45 mm, Bianco). Passport, green-card and visa essays stay on their own URLs.
Cross-border licence work: UI market Svizzera, photo law Canada for Canada Patente. Passport essays are not reused here.
Canadian passport prints are often 50 × 70 mm. Canada Patente here is 35 × 45 mm — a common dual-citizen mistake is uploading the Canadian strip unchanged.
Home-market tip: Svizzera passport photos are commonly about 35 × 45 mm. Canada Patente instead demands 35 × 45 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From Svizzera: selfie → Canada Patente selected → upload → send the export to the Canada licence portal or counter — not a recycled travel JPEG.
Why Svizzera prints fail Canada licence desks
A 35 × 45 mm Svizzera travel print does not become a legal 35 × 45 mm licence photo by trimming one edge.
Licence desks also reject glasses glare and outdated likeness more aggressively than some passport counters.
Licence portal notes from Svizzera
Upload the newest Canada Patente file for the Canada transport authority — keep the selector off passport products.
Apply portal compression only after the licence crop is correct.
Stay on the licence product (Canada Patente)
Switching to a Svizzera passport mid-flow silently changes millimetres. H1 and selector must remain Canada Patente.
Canada driving-licence photo searches
Searches for driving licence photo, driver license photo size, and local DMV / transport-authority headshots map to Canada Patente (35 × 45 mm, Bianco).
Do not paste a passport JPEG into a licence application by default — glasses, background and recency rules often differ. Use this licence crop.
Canada licence note
Provincial licence desks often differ from IRCC passport crops. Keep Canada Patente at 35 × 45 mm / Bianco.
