- Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light
- Move the photo until the eyes sit on the guide line and the head fills 44–52%
- Save the 50 × 70 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

Do not confuse it with another Canada document
Canada does not use one frame for everything. This page is about grant of citizenship — 50 × 70 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.
- visa 35 × 45 mm
- work permit 35 × 45 mm
What cropping will not fix
- A wrong background — cropping does not repaint the wall behind you. This document needs: ровный однотонный фон без теней
- A shadow on the face or on the wall. Step 1–2 m away from the wall and shoot facing a window.
- Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 591 × 827 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
