The fifth star is really for the hours. Till midnight!…read more I had been to this place before, not realizing they did passport photos, because they're in the Presse International magazine shop. After trying (and failing) to get my photos done over lunch at Shoppers Drug Mart (where apparently no one knows how to use a camera), I came here because it's open late and I was busy till 9. The guy made sure I was up to Passport standards (no hair in face, no sunglasses on head, etc.) and took a few photos before he got one he was satisfied with. Handed in my application this morning and they were satisfied with the photos as well, which is all that really matters. Would not be getting my passport in time to travel if it was not for this place!

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your photos at the last minute, you can here - If your original photos for your visa, passport, or whatever are either outdated or invalid after speaking to a Passport Canada person, you can get them done here and continue the application process without returning on another day I was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)

Dear Yasmin Samji! I am extremely disappointed with the…read morequality of the photo taken at your center. It is completely unsuitable for use in a passport. 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. I tried to return the photo and get money, but my requests were ignored and I had to leave. 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.

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.

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.

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.

**** DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, TIME, ENERGY HERE ALERT****…read more Exactly my experience here. I had my Canadian passport picture taken here. Pictures got REJECTED by the PASSPORT OFFICE, I had to scramble to get the picture retaken outside while wasting another hour to get back in line. The commissioner told me that the pictures cannot have glares, which prevents facial recognition to work properly. She told me to get a refund from this photo place. Then I came back to this place. Waited out of courtesy until all other customers left, then told him what happened and asked for a refund. He says he doesn't do refund. PERIOD. I wasted two trips here, wasted money, additional time at the passport office, and lastly energy arguing with the owner. On why he thinks the picture is totally valid and that the passport office had made a mistake. He thinks I should have come made another trip to get my pictures retaken. I was at the passport office in downtown... Worst customer experience, he must have a lot of business, surely lost it from me.
