How to take your Canada PR card photo

FAQ

Can I take my Canada residence permit photo with a phone?
Usually yes, if the photo is sharp, evenly lit and taken from about 1–2 m away with the camera at eye level. Ask someone else to take it rather than using a selfie at arm's length, which distorts facial proportions.
Can I wear glasses?
Many authorities no longer accept glasses in photos, and others require no glare or tinted lenses. Check the official source linked on this page.
What background should I use?
The published requirement is: plain, untextured white. Stand about 50 cm in front of a plain wall to avoid shadows.
Will my photo be accepted?
We format your photo to the published spec, but acceptance is decided by the issuing authority.
