Give the specifications to your photographer
PR card photographs have specific size, image quality and studio information requirements. Online and paper submission instructions differ. Do not assume passport or visa photos are interchangeable.
Check before uploading
Use the current IRCC photo page and portal instructions for format, recency and file size. Avoid retouching facial features. Keep the photographer’s information.
