The photo for a Canadian visa application must:
Both colour and black and white photos are acceptable as visa photos for Canada. Two biometric photos are required for the visa application in Canada, which must be printed on high-quality photographic paper and comply with all the specifications listed below.
The photo should be 35 mm x 45 mm in size. The head of the applicant should measure between 31 mm and 36 mm from chin to crown.
The background should be plain white or light-coloured. Make sure the colours are natural, and the image is not over- or underlit. In addition to this, the applicant needs to be in clear contrast to the background, which is why lighter coloured clothing is not recommended for a visa photo. Shadows and other objects or people in the background are to be avoided.
The photo must be taken within the last 6 months and show your current appearance. The acceptable format for a Canadian visa photo is JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or BMP.
There are no specific clothing requirements for a Canadian visa photo – everyday clothing is perfectly suitable for visa photos. However, uniforms or clothing resembling military attire is forbidden in visa photos for Canada.
Glasses are allowed in Canadian visa photos as long as they do not obscure the eyes. Make sure there are no reflections in the lenses and the frame of your glasses does not partially cover your eyes.
Tinted glasses or sunglasses are not allowed.
Head coverings are not permitted in visa photos for Canada, except for religious reasons. If you do wear a head covering, make sure your face is entirely visible from chin to forehead and there are no shadows cast in your face or the background.
