If i showed you my pic that the RCMP have scanned , you would think my beard was pitch black and 8inches long. When i received it i had to take a good look at it the scan has definitely changed my pic. Oh well as long as i have it, im good to go
Just claim you are a veiled man due to religious reasons and you can be exempt for the photo, it might be a huge government oversight security flaw in the system but we all know the Liberals are keeping us safe...lol

Otherwise There are plenty of small photo places that will take a cheap passport photo for around 5-10$
I went to Walmart to get mine done. The photo studio has the specifications as a preset so you just go in and get it done. I ended up getting 2 copies for $20 and they matched the size perfectly. Just tell them you need photos for a PAL license and they will hook you up hassle free.

Any facility that takes photos can also take your Pal photo as long as you give them the specs but however.... May I suggest Henrys.. they were the ones to do my photos and had no issue.
London Drugs is also a decent candidate, as they are aware of the differences in sizing between passport and PAL photos.
The photograph specifications are found here, on 'Information Sheet 4 of 4': <http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/form-formulaire/pdfs/5592-eng.pdf>

For folks who are CAA members, your membership includes one free photo per year and that's how I got mine. I believe this is for all CAA regions (I am in South Central Ontario). They have the correct size for PAL application so when they do the print out, just let them know what you need the picture for.
