Canada Visa Photos — Digital Image & Printed
We handle all Canada photo types — passport, visa, immigration, and PR card. Each has different specifications, so make sure you select the correct type when ordering.
Canada has 4 different photo types. Visa and citizenship photos (35×45mm) are NOT the same as passport and PR card photos (50×70mm). Immigration photos have the same size as visa photos but a different head size. Select carefully.
