Canadian visa / permit photo (35×45 mm)

Educational summary for travelers and applicants; not legal advice. Compare every detail with the issuing authority’s current checklist before you submit.

IRCC forms differ; some use 50×70 mm instead. Match the document list for your specific form. The My New ID Photo preset for this document is 35×45 mm, matching the dimensions in our built-in specification table.

ICAO size

35 × 45 mm color biometric-style photograph when this size is listed for your form.

Face

Full face, front view, even lighting, plain background.

Recency

Photo must be taken within the timeframe stated on the form (often six months).

Making this photo in My New ID Photo

Select Canada and Visa for 35×45 mm when your temporary resident form lists ICAO size. If your checklist shows 50×70 mm instead, switch to the Passport or Citizenship preset in the app—do not mix sizes. Export a recent color image only.
