Canada Visa — 35×45 mm (413×531 px)

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.

Practical 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
