Tips

Important notes

Canadian Citizenship Certificate uses 50×70mm photo — SAME dimensions as CAN passport. IRCC website explicitly warns 'Citizenship photos do not use the same specifications as passport photos' but the DIMENSIONS are identical. The differences are procedural: number of photos, endorsement requirements, and background policy (accepts 'white or light-coloured' vs passport's strict white). Head height specified as 31-36mm (chin to crown). Glasses allowed if eyes clearly visible. IRCC states these are not passport-spec photos, but dimensions and head height are identical. Differences are in background tolerance (light colour accepted) and print requirements.
