Canada Carta d’identità / Patente from Svizzera: identity-document crop only
Scope lock: Canada Carta d’identità / Patente is an identity / residence-style document page, kept separate from passport and licence URLs.
Even when your FotoPass market shows Svizzera, a Canada Carta d’identità / Patente must still meet Canada photo law for that document — local domestic sizes are a different product.
This article is scoped to Canada Carta d’identità / Patente as a Canada identity / residence-style photo (50 × 70 mm, Bianco), kept separate from passport and licence pages.
Cross-border ID work: market Svizzera, photo law Canada for Canada Carta d’identità / Patente. Passport and licence copy stay on other URLs.
Canadian passport prints are often 50 × 70 mm. Canada Carta d’identità / Patente here is 50 × 70 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 Carta d’identità / Patente instead demands 50 × 70 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From Svizzera: selfie → Canada Carta d’identità / Patente → upload → use the export for Canada registry / residence filings.
