Canada Visa Photo Size

Canadian visa (TRV) photos use a different IRCC spec — 35×45mm, not this 50×70mm passport print size. This tool fits to the passport size only; a visa applicant should not rely on this page's dimensions. This tool only fits and checks against the Canada passport photo spec below (exactly 50×70 mm at 300 DPI, plain white or light-coloured background, saved as JPEG) — treat it as a starting point for a visa photo, not a guarantee.

Reference data, not legal advice. 50×70 mm passport print standard, confirmed via canada.ca/IRCC. For online renewal, IRCC also has a separate digital spec (roughly 1200-3000 px wide, 200KB-5MB) not captured by this single-size model. Head size, background color, lighting, and expression aren't checked automatically; that needs face-detection features this build doesn't include yet.

Only helps if your background is already one plain color (e.g. a wall) — this is color-distance math, not real subject cutout, so it won't do anything useful against busy or textured backgrounds.

Frequently asked questions

What size does a Canada visa photo need to be?

Canadian visa (TRV) photos use a different IRCC spec — 35×45mm, not this 50×70mm passport print size. This tool fits to the passport size only; a visa applicant should not rely on this page's dimensions.

What background does Canada require?

Plain white or light-coloured background. Photograph against a plain wall or sheet in that color for the best result — the "flatten background to white" option in the tool can help clean up a close-but-not-perfect background too.

Can I use a phone photo for my Canada visa application?

Yes, as long as it's well-lit, in focus, and shot against a plain background you can crop tightly around.

Is there a file size limit for a Canada visa photo?

No published file size limit is listed for Canada in this reference set — check the destination site directly if your application enforces one.
