Photo Requirement

[Ricky09]

Hi,

I know the hard copy photo requirement as this link explains:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/apply-renew-replace/photo.html

But based on my online research this requirement comes when CIC asks for the Passport.

But the digital photo requirement comes while submitting the documents (what I found online). So, could you please tell me what are the digital photo specification requirements? in terms of size should it also be 2 X 2 3/4 in as the size required for the hard copy of the photos?

Click on the ? mark against the photo field when you upload documents. All requirements are mentioned there.

Is the face size in the photo as mentioned should be from forehead to chin = 31 to 36in or from top of the head to chin ?

Forehead to chin min 31 cm and from top of head to chin 36 cm

Forehead to chin min 31 cm and from top of head to chin 36 cm

I told the same to a photographer and he took the picture with total face length of 45mm.

By the way, can you confirm if there is any requirement to upload DIGITAL photo ?

Oh Man, I told the same to a photographer and he took the picture with total face length of 45mm.

I don't understand your question. Yes a digital photo needs to be uploaded after ITA.

my picture is showing forehead to chin is more then 36mm. I think I should get it taken again from a better photographer.

If you don't want to use a photographer, there are many apps on google or ios store that can be used. Many people on forum have submitted those pictures without any issue.

Hi,

I got the digital photo done but the Pixels of the picture are showing 413 x 531 in properties.

The required pixels must be at least 420 x 540. I tried fixing it in paint but when I increase the pixels the size increases also and then when I reduce the size to 35x45mm pixels get reduce back to 413x531.

Please advise !

Upload it. Check whether that pixel requirement is for scanned photos?

The requirement says "The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540." it doesn't say anything about scanned photos.

Hi,

I got my picture fixed with over 420X540 pixels BUT dimensions are now showing 35.1X45MM.

It is .1mm more than required, I personally tried to fix it but not able to fix it. Do you think this might create an issue later ?
