Verified official information
Canadian permanent residence and PR Card applications accept a 715 × 1000 to 2000 × 2800 px JPG or JPEG up to 4 MB. However, Canada requires it to be taken by a commercial photographer or studio.
We adjust the size and framing to the document's exact format without replacing the background or altering your appearance.
The portal uploads either a professional digital photo or a scan of a professional print. It also requires the back information—applicant details, date, studio name and address—and confirmation such as a receipt.
Visit a studio with the official specification sheet. Imagokit cannot replace this process because a home photo lacks the required professional provenance and confirmation.
You don't need to memorize measurements or biometric rules. Imagokit applies this document's official setup and checks the result before delivery.
Take the photo from at least 40 cm (16 in) away from your face. Ideally, have someone else take it for you.
Position your face in front of the lens and keep a neutral expression. Hold the camera at face level.
Face a light source, such as an open window, and use the required real background from the start. We will not replace or retouch it.
Use a real compliant background and keep your appearance natural. We check framing and conditions without altering the image.
If you need to complete more than one application, prepare each photo to the exact size and rules of its document.
It must be exactly 50 × 70 mm (2 × 2.8 in), with a plain white background. Imagokit crops and adjusts your photo to those measurements automatically.
The background must already be plain white when you take the photo. This authority prohibits digital alteration, so Imagokit checks it but does not replace it.
It is submitted as a digital file in the online application. Download the result and upload it from your device in the photo field.
No. Canada residence permit photo requires a neutral expression, with your mouth closed and no smiling. Imagokit checks this before delivering your photo.
Glasses are allowed as long as there's no glare and your eyes are clearly visible, though we recommend removing them to avoid issues.
It costs $1.95, a one-time payment with no subscription. It's ready to download instantly — no waiting, no trips.
Yes. The photo meets the official measurements, background and biometric requirements of Canada. And if it's still rejected, we refund your money.
Yes. Along with the digital photo you get a 10×15 cm (4×6 in) print template ready to print with 2, 4, 6 or 9 copies at any photo shop or kiosk.
The biometric analysis and cropping run on your own device, inside the browser. Your photo is only stored — in private storage — when you generate your order, so we can deliver it.
