  2. 02

  3. 03

    Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

03What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white background.
  • Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
  • Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
  • A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
  • File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.

What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes

  • Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
  • 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 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
  • Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.

  • Ghana Consulate General in Toronto, «Passport Application Information» (Internet Archive copy of 13 December 2025): applicants for Ghanaian passports must be citizens of Ghana by birth, naturalisation, registration, adoption or an enactment, with documentary evidence; applicants attend the appointments in person; out-of-province applicants may contact the Ghana High Commission in Ottawa about outreaches.
  • Same page, the photo: «Photo Upload — Must be in PDF or JPEG format against a white background. Full face, forehead, and ears visible. No eyewear, large earrings, or decorative headgear is allowed. Religious headwear is permitted. Note: Physical passport photos are not required. Applicants must upload a recent photo during the online application, and a photo will be taken during the in-person appointment.»
  • Same page, how to apply: complete the online form, select an appointment date and time, make and confirm the online payment, attend the Consulate for in-person vetting and biometric capture, and provide a self-addressed prepaid return envelope with tracking; allow 6–8 weeks (the 15-day period applies only to applicants in Ghana); original documents must be presented and copies certified by a notary; a printed form signed and witnessed, a Canadian-issued government ID if available, and «please do not wear white for your appointment».
  • Same page, the guarantors and the witness: two guarantors aged 18 or over who have known the applicant for at least 2 years (relatives may act), who agree to the use of their name and contact details and, jointly and severally, to pay the expenses of repatriation or death abroad; one witness who signs the form, is not the same person as a guarantor and belongs to one of the professions listed on the page.
