We check your photo against the published Canadian passport photo rules, frame it on your face at 50 x 70 mm and lay copies out on a 4 x 6 inch sheet for printing. Canada refuses altered photos, so we replace the background, correct the brightness or contrast, or soften shine on the skin only if you ask for it and confirm that such a photo may be rejected. We never change your features or the shape of your face. We are not a commercial photographer and cannot provide the studio stamp Canada asks for.
Lo que el organismo no publica
- IRCC publishes no eye line, top margin, colour space, print resolution or uniform rule for printed photos.
- IRCC publishes no pixel size or file format for the printed path. The digital spec on the same page (1,200 x 1,800 to 3,000 x 4,500 pixels, 200 KB to 5 MB, JPEG) is for online adult renewal only and is not part of this profile.
- The page does not say whether a plain rectangular crop of a photo counts as altering it. It does say an altered photo is one "edited or changed in any way".
Lo que recibes
