Canadian passport & visa photos in Tucson, AZ
Including citizenship by descent applications — done right the first time, every time.
Canadian passport and visa photos have exact requirements that most photo counters get wrong — wrong sizing, wrong background, wrong expression. At Design Photography, we've been getting Canadian photo requirements right for years, and it shows: this is one of the most common reasons people come to us.
Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and applicants working through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) all trust us to get it right the first time — and many of our clients make the drive down from Phoenix specifically for this expertise.
Canadian passport & visa photos
Standard passport photos, visa photos, and passport renewals for Canadian citizens living in or visiting the Tucson area. Every photo meets IRCC's exact size, background, and lighting specifications.
Canadian citizenship by descent photos
If you're applying for a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship through citizenship by descent (the process recently expanded under Bill C-3), your photo has additional requirements beyond a standard passport photo. Design Photography has all the technical photo requirements and the details that will be applied to the back of the photo.
We know this process well and handle it correctly the first time, so your application isn't delayed by a photo issue.
