CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP PHOTOS IN ALBANY, NY
Canadian Citizenship Photos That Meet Official Requirements
Canadian citizenship photos are not the same as standard U.S. passport photos. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has specific requirements for photo dimensions, head size, positioning, lighting, expression and image quality.
At Studio Lana, your citizenship photo is professionally photographed, measured and prepared with those requirements in mind so you don’t have to explain Canadian specifications to a pharmacy or passport-photo counter.
Precise. Professional. Made for Your Application.
Your photo session includes careful attention to:
- Correct Canadian photo dimensions
- Proper head size and positioning
- Straight-on head and shoulder placement
- Neutral facial expression
- Even, professional lighting
- Clean background
- Natural skin tone
- Sharp, clear image quality
- Professional photographic printing when physical photographs are required
Canadian immigration photographs commonly require a 50 mm × 70 mm (2" × 2¾") finished photograph, with the face measuring 31–36 mm from chin to crown. IRCC also requires photographs to be clear, properly lit and unaltered.
More Than a Passport Photo
Getting the dimensions right is only part of the process. Canadian immigration photographs have requirements governing facial expression, shadows, glare, framing and the relationship between the subject and background. Even seemingly minor differences can make a photo non-compliant.
I photograph and prepare your images specifically for the Canadian requirements rather than simply resizing a standard passport photograph.
What to Expect
Appointments are quick and straightforward. I will position you correctly, check your expression and framing, and verify the required measurements before your photograph is delivered.
Canadian immigration instructions require the photographer's name and complete studio address and the date the photograph was taken on the reverse of a photograph, which also be provided as required by IRCC. 4 printed photographs are included for $150.
