I have read on some forums that some Canadian citizenship applications are being returned because the submitted photos do not meet IRCC’s photo specifications.

I had my citizenship photo taken professionally at Shoppers Drug Mart and received the digital copy from them. Since Shoppers provides professional photography services, I was wondering why photo-specification issues can still occur.

I am a May 2026 applicant and I am still waiting for my AOR, so I am a little concerned about whether my photo could cause my application to mbe returned.

Has anyone who used Shoppers Drug Mart for their citizenship photo experienced any issues with their application or photo?
