Professional and Accurate Canadian Residency Photos
Did you know the Canadian Embassy actually specifies to use a professional photography studio on their official website. They give you the cheat, and put it for all to see. No secrets here. Don’t waste your time at the drug store or currier spot…Come see us today!

At one time, the Canadian Permanent Residency photos were required to be 35x45mm.
That changed a while back and now matches the photo size requirements of the Canadian Passport
photos, 50x70mm, with a head size of between 31-36mm.
The studio’s name, address, and date taken, along with the subject’s name and birthdate are required on
the back of one image for the Canada permanent residency photo.
They are very specific that the image has a white background with no shadows, meaning that only a
professional lighting system that utilizes a background flash will pass. It’s very dicey asking a drug store
employee to cut the images down to an exact size in millimeters, because they’re very likely going to be
using a paper cutter or a pair of scissors, neither of which are very accurate. At Thomas Bruce Studio, we
use a tool that has been custom built to cut Canadian Permanent Residency photos and Canadian
Passport photos to the exact size of 50x70mm.
