6 Steps to Passport Photo Success:…read more 1) Walk into convenience store 2) Ask guy if they do passport photos 3) Guy pulls down white screen to stand in front of and pulls out his camera and takes a picture of you 4) Guy prints pictures (he took 3 shots, let me choose which) 5) I pay the low price of $11.30 after tax for my photos 6) I leave within a 5 minute window of arrival With such a quick and easy experience and a cheap $10 fee (one place I called wanted $20 and wasn't open as late), I'm not sure why I wouldn't give this 5 stars.

At 1090 Eglinton Av West, Toronto.. It is just convenience store. The guy asked to pay upfront…read more When I was not satisfied with the result, he refused to retake the photo, was very rude, and said "Go or I will call the police". I tried to call customer service for several times , but nobody answered. I wrote complaint to the email posted in their web site - no answer. So, it looks that it is dummy web site. Keep away from them.

We (the family) having been using the services of Scarborough Passport Photo Centre for over 5…read moreyears,. We have ALWAYS appreciated the Patience and Understanding in dealing with 2 of our baby girls, in getting there pictures, and also my wife and myself... With our first daughter we went to another photographer/company first, and our 4 month old started to cry and they where not understanding, and asked us to come back when she wouldn't cry, REALLY!!! So when we found SPPC, we where so relieved, as she did cry again, and Yasmin (I believe is the owner) comforted her and she stopped crying, and the photo was taken... Just this past week, I mentioned to one of Yasmin's employees how difficult it's been to submit all the documents needed to get my wife's Canadian Citizenship. She said call Yasmin, as she will help us in this 5 year journey I've been on! After speaking to Yasmin, she made a appointment with us, as paid her assistant to come in and work, while she helped us out... Just to give context, I tried hiring a lawyer specializing in Citizenship Applications, and after meeting with him, and realizing that he didn't seem to know what he was doing, I was at a loss to figure out what to do next... To top it off, he said his services would cost $1,600.00 dollars and he couldn't guarantee she would get it, WOW!!! This journey was very stressful for my wife and I, as we heard the horror stories of making mistakes on the application... So after meeting with Yasmin and following her instructions, we submitted the Application yesterday, HOORAY!!! And to top it off, Yasmin wouldn't take a penny from us, now that's class!!! I asked her she was doing this for us, as I have the means to pay her, and her reply was "I like to give back!!!" GOD BLESS YOU YASMIN!!!

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)

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.

There was no wait and the service was quick, and impeccable. I felt the photos were of good quality, it was a great value to get a passport photo with a fast turn around, I was in and out in less than 15min. They take cash that includes tax, so come prepared. They also have a mirror for you to check your appearance before taking the photo and the staff was able to gently and kindly remind me to move my hair, straighten up, etc to ensure the photo was taken to meet standards. The shop is located in the second floor so look for the sign, walk up a flight of stairs and you'll see the office shortly after getting up to the landing.

My family and I have come here anytime we need a photo for ID. This latest visit was for a visa…read more They knew exactly what the requirements were. They are professional and love their work and it really shows. There's a mirror with combs and spraybottle in case you want to do some last min touch ups. They give directions for hair, pose, as well as some post shoot touchups. The whole process took less than 15 minutes and the photos always turn out really nice. I've had a few people see my passport and ask where I've gotten the photo done. Their prices are great too. My dad got lazy once and went somewhere else closer and he paid more for 1 copy than we usually do for 2. We haven't gone anywhere else ever since. This time I ended up getting two digital photos, but you have the choice of digital or 2 hard copy, and you can always come back later if you decide you also want the hard copy. Keep in mind it's cash only. They also do photo for babies. My go to spot for photos, highly recommend.

I had an awesome experience recently with Sooters at Westwood Square!…read more I had an urgent need to do a biometric photo for a visa application. I thought the photo was the same as the Canadian passport photo, but it turns out that it has some major differences like size / dimensions. I called around 4pm, and asked if someone could do a photo according to the biometric requirements for the visa application. The employee on the phone assured me they knew what to do, and to come by before closing. When I showed up the same employee took my photo immediately, didn't even need to look at the photo requirements, because he was very familiar with this type of visa photo requirements. Within 15 minutes I had 2 copies of the photos. I submitted those to the embassy the next day, and apparently the photo worked well! Thank you for the quick and simple service!
