Canadian visa photo size (50×70 mm)
Many Canadian temporary resident and visitor visa photos follow a 50×70 mm print (commonly prepared around 591×827 px at 300 DPI) on a plain white background. That is taller than a US visa 2×2 inch square and different from a 35×45 mm Schengen photo.
Face the camera with a neutral expression. Eyes must be open and clearly visible. Glasses are often refused when they hide the eyes or add glare.
Do not reuse a US DS-160 photo
A 600×600 px US visa file will look stretched or leave the wrong head size if you force it into a Canadian 50×70 mm slot. Choose Canada Visa in PhotoGov so width, height and white background match IRCC-style guidance.
Photograph yourself in even light, process the image, then print 50×70 mm or upload the JPEG if your stream accepts a digital file.
Photo tips
- Leave extra space above the hair — 50×70 mm is a taller frame than 2×2 inches.
- Wear clothing that contrasts with white.
- Check both eyes are visible and in focus.
- Confirm whether your application wants a print, a digital file, or both.
Common rejection reasons
- US 2×2 inch square photo submitted instead of 50×70 mm
- Shadows on a non-white background
- Face too small in a large frame
- Glasses glare or tinted lenses
