Yep, they're quite particular. If you're physically in Canada, I recommend Shoppers Drug Mart. Their pricing is surprisingly reasonable and from my experience their staff are very well trained and very familiar with the requirements. They spent 45 minutes with my dad and I to perfect the photos and they even had makeup powder on hand to reduce glare.


I haven't looked into their policy, but I wouldn't be surprised if they would re-do your photos for free in the event it got rejected.
