Canada Student visa requirements at a glance

How do I make this photo?
- Keep the preselected Canada Student visa preset.
- Choose a recent, clear portrait with one front-facing subject.
- Review the automatic 31–36 mm from chin to crown framing and keep the background plain white or light-coloured.
- Use only edits permitted by the issuing authority, then export the 700 × 900px JPEG.
What should I check before submission?
- Confirm the portrait represents the applicant’s current appearance.
- Check both eyes are visible and avoid blur, glare, hard shadows or covered facial features.
- Compare the exported crop with the authority source; correct dimensions alone do not guarantee acceptance.
- Keep the original background and do not retouch or digitally enhance the portrait.
What file will Photo Pass create?
The digital download is a JPEG cropped to 700 × 900 pixels. You can also prepare a 300 DPI A4, A5 or 6 × 4 inch print sheet using the physical 35 × 45 mm size. Review printer scaling and disable “fit to page” when exact physical dimensions are required.
Who reviewed this requirement?
The Photo Pass editorial team checked the preset against the linked issuing-authority material on 15 July 2026. The review covers dimensions, background, head placement, format, file-size limits and stated editing restrictions. Requirements can change, so the authority source remains the final reference.
Read the verification methodology or report an inaccurate requirement.
Why might a correctly sized photo be rejected?
Common causes include an old or altered portrait, an incorrect expression, closed or obscured eyes, uneven lighting, a visible shadow, low resolution, an unapproved background or a crop that does not match the required head position. Application channels can also impose a different file limit or capture process.
What is specific to this student visa?
Canadian authorities commonly specify the visible chin-to-crown measurement as well as the outer photo size. Printed applications can involve studio, photographer or reverse-side requirements that a digital crop cannot reproduce, so review the linked IRCC or passport instructions for the chosen submission route.
Student-visa applicants should follow the destination’s visa-photo rule and the submission instructions supplied by the school, portal, embassy or application centre. The same portrait may later be requested for a residence card, but that later document can use a different format.
