How to print a document photo at Staples Canada

At Staples Canada (Canada) you can either be photographed on site or print your own ready file. If you print your own, it has to meet the standard in advance — and that's what we do: upload a selfie, we fit the size, background and head proportions to the requirements, and Staples Canada prints it by ordering online and uploading your file, with in-store pickup or with mail delivery.

Good to know: a staff member takes your passport/visa photo in minutes; the print site also handles ship-to-home and store pickup.

That way you get both compliance (our part) and a familiar local service close to home (Staples Canada). The file is universal — good for online submission and for self-printing.

A few practical notes. A document photo is small (usually 35 × 45 mm, or 2 × 2 inches in the US), so several copies fit on a single 4×6 / 10×15 cm print — handy and economical. Bring the ready file whichever way suits you: via the link in our email, straight from your phone, or on a USB stick. When ordering, confirm the print size so the photos aren't cropped.
