What matters
Passport Photo — Canada dimensions at a glance
Canadian passport photos follow the 35×45mm standard (420×540px at 300 DPI). Canada requires a plain white background and has specific face proportion requirements.
Service Canada rejects non-compliant photos, and passport processing delays in Canada can be significant. Getting the photo right the first time saves weeks.
Non-compliant photos are rejected at the counter or during processing. Common issues include wrong face proportions, shadows, and non-white backgrounds.
