PR card and citizenship photos may require photos taken by a commercial photographer or studio, with studio information and the date taken on the back. This app's 50×70mm layout is for size and composition reference only and does not guarantee acceptance as a submission photo.
The person faces forward, background is white, and the face is clearly visible with a natural expression.
These are common reasons a photo may be rejected by IRCC.
Take your photo with a white or light plain background, even lighting, and a natural appearance from the start. This app mainly helps with composition checking, size adjustment, pre-save preview, and file export. Do not alter your facial shape, skin, hair, background, or clothing. For applications where editing or alterations are prohibited (e.g., PR card, citizenship), use photos taken at a commercial photo studio as required by official guidelines.
Official guidance IRCC Photo Requirements
Canada visa (Temporary Resident Visa), Study Permit, and Work Permit photos are 35×45mm (35mm wide × 45mm high). Face height must be 31–36mm from chin to crown, with a white or light-colored plain background, taken within the last 6 months.
Yes. Study Permit and Work Permit applications use the same 35×45mm photo specification as visitor visas. You can use this app's 35×45mm mode. Always verify the latest requirements of the portal you are submitting to.
PR card photos must be 50×70mm and are officially required to be taken by a commercial photographer or studio. The back must include the studio's name, address, and the date taken. This app's 50×70mm layout is for size and composition reference only and does not guarantee acceptance as a submission photo. Please check official PR card photo requirements.
Citizenship photos may also be 50×70mm and may require a commercial photographer. This app can help you check the 50×70mm size, but it does not substitute for officially required studio photos. Please check official citizenship photo requirements.
PR card and paper-based citizenship applications require the back of one photo to include the commercial photographer's or studio's name, address, and the date taken (per IRCC Guide IMM 5445, etc.). Photos must be "taken by a commercial photographer" and must be original, unaltered photographs. A smartphone app alone may not satisfy these official requirements.
Sunglasses and tinted glasses are not allowed. Non-tinted prescription glasses are acceptable only if your eyes are clearly visible, there is no glare on the lenses, and the frame does not cover any part of your eyes (per IRCC Visa Application Photograph Specifications). If in doubt, remove your glasses before taking the photo.
No. This app helps you create a photo based on published IRCC specifications, but final acceptance is determined by IRCC. Requirements may change, so always check the latest official guidance at canada.ca before submitting.
No. This app is not affiliated with the Government of Canada or IRCC. It is an independent utility tool.
No. This app helps you prepare a photo file. You must submit your application yourself through the official IRCC portal.
No. All photo processing, face detection, and JPEG export happen entirely on your iPhone. Only App Store billing uses the network, and it never includes your photo data.
