Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) rejects applications with photos that don’t meet its rules, which can add weeks to your wait. We take your photo and check it against IRCC’s specifications before you leave.
Photos we take for IRCC
- Permanent resident (PR) card applications and renewals
- Permanent resident travel documents (PRTD)
- Canadian citizenship applications
- Other IRCC applications that ask for photos
Printed or digital
Some IRCC applications ask for printed photos and some ask you to upload a digital photo. Tell us which form you’re using and we’ll give you the right one, or both.
Families
If the whole family is applying, everyone can have their photos taken in the same visit, including babies and young children.
