Canadian passport photos at 50×70 mm — IRCC-ready framing
Canada uses a taller 50×70 mm format, not the international 35×45 mm standard. Passprint applies IRCC-aligned face height (31–36 mm chin to crown), eye-line placement, and plain light backgrounds so studios deliver print-ready Canadian passport photos without manual measurement.

IRCC rejects photos that are the wrong physical size, have the wrong head measurement, show shadows or busy backgrounds, or look digitally altered. Passprint encodes the Canadian preset so counters stop mixing US, UK, and Canada specs. Passprint automates the entire workflow from upload to print-ready sheet in just a few clicks.
Studio challenge
True 50×70 mm Canadian preset
Width and height are locked to 50×70 mm at 300 DPI (~591×827 px) — not stretched from a 35×45 crop that fails when measured with a ruler.
01 / 03
Studio challenge
Head size within IRCC bands
Face height from chin to crown targets 31–36 mm (about 44–52% of the 70 mm frame), with eye-line placement matching Canadian framing guidance.
02 / 03
Studio challenge
Fewer IRCC rejections
Plain white or light backgrounds, no heavy shadows, and consistent framing reduce the “come back tomorrow” visits that hurt studio reputation.

Use a recent, well-lit front-facing portrait (JPEG or PNG). Avoid hats, tinted glasses, and heavy shadows on the face or background.
Apply Canada 50×70 preset
AI removes the background, centres the face, and crops to 50×70 mm with chin-to-crown height in the IRCC 31–36 mm band.
Review before print
Confirm plain light background, neutral expression, and framing. Adjust crop if hair or chin sits outside the allowed band.

Canada passport photo FAQ
Canada passport photo size & IRCC requirements
Canadian passport photographs must be 50 mm wide by 70 mm high. The face (chin to crown) should measure 31–36 mm. Backgrounds must be plain white or light-coloured with no shadows. Photos should be recent, show a neutral expression, and be printed on quality paper — or supplied digitally when IRCC asks for an electronic file.
What is the correct Canada passport photo size?
Canadian passport photos are 50 mm wide by 70 mm high (5×7 cm). At 300 DPI that is approximately 591×827 pixels. Passprint’s Canada preset exports at these dimensions so printed copies measure correctly.
What head and face dimensions does IRCC require?
The face from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head (including hair) should measure between 31 and 36 mm within the 50×70 mm frame. Eyes should sit roughly in the upper half of the photo. Passprint’s Canada preset targets this band automatically.
What background is required for Canadian passport photos?
IRCC requires a plain white or light-coloured background with no patterns, textures, or shadows behind the head. Passprint replaces busy backgrounds with a compliant light tone before export. See also the white background guide for removal tips.
What are common reasons Canadian passport photos get rejected?
Typical rejections include wrong size (using 35×45 mm instead of 50×70 mm), face height outside 31–36 mm, shadows on the face or background, smiling or open mouth, outdated photos, glasses with glare, hats or head coverings (except for religious reasons when the face remains fully visible), and heavy digital retouching that changes appearance.
Can I print multiple Canada passport copies on one sheet?
Yes. Passprint lays out multiple 50×70 mm copies on a print sheet with spacing and trim guides so studios can cut clean pairs for applications without wasting paper.
How is Canada’s size different from India, UK, or US photos?
India, the UK, and Schengen use 35×45 mm rectangles. The US uses 2×2 inch (51×51 mm) squares. Canada’s 50×70 mm format is taller and uses millimetre head-height rules unique to IRCC — never stretch another country’s crop to fake Canadian dimensions.
