How it works
Read the requirements
Canada requires passport photos to be taken by a commercial photographer, who also marks the back of the photo.

Why Canadian passport photos are different
Canada uses a larger 50 × 70 mm photo than most countries’ 35 × 45 mm, and requires a commercial photographer so that photos meet the rules and can be traced to who took them.
If you need a 35 × 45 mm photo for another country’s visa, use the passport and ID photo maker instead.
