It's not a busy location but since he's survived years of ups and downs, you know he would be a good business man. Last time I was there, he took a polaroid photo and used a hair dryer to process. Now of course it's all digitized. I was out in 15 minutes. Well really 10, but we started discussing his thoughts on the HST. I agreed with him naturally since he mentioned it was a positive thing and people decided to give it a chance. For friendly and quick service and you live in North York, definitely visit this Sooters location.

No problem, I left a 30 dollar deposit. I told him the anniversary was on March 9th. On March 6th I called to see what's going on only to be told it won't be ready until the 9th, when we discussed pickup on the 8th. However after discussing he agrees to have it ready on 8th. I go in on the 8th and am absolutely thrilled at the piece. We talk for a good 8 minutes, the whole time I'm holding the cash in my hand that I owe, which is $50. The conversation then turns and he tells me he had unexpected expenses and now the piece costs $120!!!!. He didn't mention this on the call 3 days earlier, or the first 10 minutes I am there holding the money. He sees how much I love the piece and decides to gouge me knowing I needed it and I will pay. So I paid. But now I will make it my mission to spread awareness at this business owners crooked practices.

I recently found a great place to have photos printed onto canvas in Toronto…read more I found Fine Art Print Studio on the internet and was very delighted by what had found. William, the owner of Fine Art Print Studio was very courteous and professional with making my photo into a canvas. The job was timely, I didn't have to wait weeks for it to be finished and the finished product was phenomenal. I am so very happy that I am able to hang my first work of art onto my wall and thank you to William at Fine Art for making this possible. If you have a photo that you love, I suggest trying to have it enlarged and put onto a canvas, it looks amazing!! Thanks

Jacob was excellent with returning my text messages, and I have been very happy with my purchase!

The salesperson was knowledgable and cheerful. She explains all the features of the camera for me and suggest what I need to buy. The price is compatible and even better than other stores. There are walls of camera bags and accessories you can choose from too!! I really like the option of trading in my camera within 12 months and get a new one if you prefer.. and of course they have the lowest price guarantee too.. Hopefully after I got my new camera and learn how to use it properly, my photos that I post on yelp will look nicer...

A while back, when I used to work at Yonge and Eglinton, I took the subway up to the Passport…read moreCanada location at Yonge, just north of Sheppard. I remember seeing a photo centre in the lobby if you needed a passport photo. Ten years ago, I got my passport renewed at the Passport Office at Scarborough Town Centre. I remember seeing a similar photo centre back then on the main floor. I realized that they are owned by the same folks. Last month, while standing in line at the Passport Canada office in Scarborough to have my documentation checked and to grab a number to head upstairs for part two of my passport renewal process, I looked at the Scarborough Passport Photo Centre in front of me. Although I am not the type who would get my photos taken here first, followed by jumping into the passport lineup, I do like that this photo establishment is here: - If you like that stress to do your photos at the last minute, you can here - If your original photos for your visa, passport, or whatever are either outdated or invalid after speaking to a Passport Canada person, you can get them done here and continue the application process without returning on another day I was envious that there weren't any lineups to get your photo taken. This place had steady business on a Monday afternoon. Prices aren't posted outside the door. While standing in a passport lineup maze, there was a poster of the types of photos that this store does. It didn't have any prices. I find that if you plan ahead to get your passport photos taken, you'll pay less. The best deal that I know of is if you are a CAA Plus or Premier member. Passport photos are free with your membership. Otherwise, it's under $10 if you're a classic CAA member and $20 if you're a non-member. I used to be a CAA member when I had a car that didn't have roadside assitance. My current car does with Toyota, so I haven't had a need to be with CAA. I went with Grace Convenience to get my passport photos done. It was $14.99 for two photos and they worked out nicely. They were done in ten minutes and looked professional. At this place, passport photos are $25. You are paying more for them. However, it does look like a professional studio when you peer into the store. I saw shirts there. My guess is that if your attire isn't suitable for a passport photo, you can change into a shirt that is available at this store. It's brilliant. Hopefully, it's a clean shirt that is laundered after each customer wears it. It's smart to have such a business next to Service Canada for your passport, visa, permanent residence, and more that require a photo with your application. I personally won't be using it as I'm more of a planner who likes to check out prices. However, if you are in a bind for a quality photo, this place is for you. (119)

The skin tone in the photo is so distorted that a person with light skin appears dark. The photo does not look like my real appearance at all.

It seems that for you, Canada is just a way to make money and what you write in your preface does not correspond to reality. It is very sad to encounter such an attitude towards clients.

This despite the fact that there were 4-5 employees doing other things. Because I had so much time, I looked at the buying some frames. However, the shelves were such a mess with frames put into slots with different items mixed together that it became impossible to figure anything out. Ultimately, my biggest complaint was that I had I to come back to the store multiple times because the manager lied to me and then refused to acknowledge the problem. I will definitively take my business elsewhere. I pointed this all out to the manager and he could not care less.
