What are the IRCC photo requirements for Canada PR?

Canada PR photos must be 35×45 mm (1⅜ × 1¾ inches) with the head measuring 31-36 mm from chin to crown, on a plain white or light-coloured background. The face must be straight, neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open and looking directly at the camera. Glasses are not allowed since 2016. Photo must have been taken within the last 6 months and must be in colour. The same IRCC specification applies to Permanent Residency (Express Entry, Family Class, PNP), citizenship applications, and most temporary resident visas. complypic generates IRCC-compliant 35×45 mm photos validated against the 2026 IRCC requirements, with a printable sheet for in-person biometric appointments.

Does this work for citizenship and study permits?

Yes. IRCC uses the same 35×45 mm photo across PR, citizenship, work permit and study permit applications.
