    After taking ten sets PR photos, visiting ten sets of different photographers, having my PR confirmation photo rejected ten times. I did a bit more research and found that Scarborough Passport Photo Centre has an unblemished track record of providing high quality passport and PR photos and with the best customer service. Today I can testify to this, as I was greeted by tenacious, meticulous and very vibrant Yasmin. She made me feel very comfortable and explained everything to me and took my photograph with ease, to my delight my photo was accepted by IRCC without incident. Yasmin you're are the greatest, I find your personality and style very scintillating. I was just about to give up. I would highly recommend anyone and especially if you'd faced the same or similar situation as I did to seek Yasmin services. Her prices are very affordable and her environment is very welcoming. Much thanks again for all you did for me today, I will never forget you kindness and positivity🙏

    Yasmin is amazing! She helped me through the entire passport, birth certificate process and gave me tips and tricks to expedite the process and the best times to come when the lines were short. She gave my wife chair while I stood in line and took great care of us. The most amazing ability of hers is to listen patiently to people's problems and show genuine care and guide them through the difficult time and process. I would not have gotten my passport done if it wasn't for her. She helped me save about $4000 in flight date changes. Please do visit her for passport photos as I have been using her photographs for 6-7 years on citizenships, passports, and many other things and NEVER has the application returned. God Bless You.

    Met the famous Yasmin and the reviews did not lie. She was a star at taking my shy toddler's passport photo. We originally went to Staples because it was closer but the photographer took one look at my tiny shy daughter and said he couldn't guarantee a passport photo. Yasmin on the the other hand, smiled, made friends with my daughter and had the photo done within minutes. Highly recommend especially for baby/toddler passport photos. Just a tip, if you're parking in the building lot, remember to pay, because the parking attendant checks very frequently. I saw him give 3 tickets alone while I was loading us back into the car, then he disappeared like a ninja. Man means business.

    I went to Yasmin for getting my PR card photos done. She has been extremely helpful and guided me every step of the way. She gives you personal attention and takes care of all the little details. She is doing a great job and goes out of the way to help the customers. I thank her and wish her the best! Update - I got my PR card finally! Thank you so much Yasmin for your support. May God bless you!

    Yasmin and her staff are wonderful people! She gave me clear instructions on the phone and the minute I walked in with my 8 month old she began to play with her and got her smiling. It was so easy to take my baby's photos I was amazed. It went by so fast! She was also kind enough to help me with my application. If I have any more babies that need passports I will definitely bring them here!

    Yasmin is simply amazing! Not only does she take your passport photos but she walks you thru the confusing process from start to finish! She’s amazing with babies and does the job right so you don’t need to stress about the requirements! Thank you Yasmin for all that you do! You’re amazing and passionate about your craft, keep up the great work!

    Yasmin is not only best at her work but also has accurate and complete know how of passport formalities…. She is extremely helpful and lends a listening ears and healing hand even at odd hours. Go to her for absolutely any query in her field and one wouldn’t be dissatisfied 😊

    Yasmin is such a nice lady, definitely ensures your picture is the best possible take for your passport. Goes into detail your posture, angles, etc. for the best possible outcome. Think about it, you have your passport renewal every 5-10 years...why not have a good picture in the process! Super convenient location too.

  • 5/5 Cristina A. 5 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Yasmin was amazing, I usually don't like taking passport photos but she took the time to make sure I looked good in it and that I liked the outcome. I will definitely be coming back here to get any other photos. I wish more people were as warm and friendly as she is when attending you in their business. You'll definitely come out of here in a better mood than you came in. Amazing service!

    Once again, Yasmin help us again. The expertise of the ever changing Passport settings and advancement of technologies has made many challenges to any photo studio. Prior to this photo shoot, Yasmin helped my wife obtain a successful PR Card Photo and we were finally able to get it. We actually had Henry’s and Passport Photo Center take shots and they all failed on the website. This time was my turn to renew my Canadian Passport. My photos were successfully taken and accepted at the Passport Office. I am also glad that Yasmin signed the back of the photos as well. I saw one person the same day having to come back because the photos were not signed. We have other family members who will need to renew. Any legal photos, we will ONLY RECOMMEND YASMIN at Scarborough Passport Photo. Yasmin-San, You made my Valentine’s Day!! Thank you!

    Yasmin truly is the best! After reading all her amazing reviews, I reached out to her for help with my baby's passport application. I submitted the application by mail a while back and the federal strike delayed the application even more. With our upcoming travel, I couldn't afford to lose out on what I spent for the trip and desperately needed my baby's passport. She was so understanding, she guided me through the whole process and helped me get the passport sooner than expected. She promised that I'd get the passport in time for my travel and helped ease my mind. Thank you so much Yasmin for everything that you do for others, your kindness is so heartwarming. I appreciate all that you did for me and I wish you all the best!

    My wife has had her PR Card Renewal Process rejected. We already spent hours trying to figure out how to process the online application for the PR Card renewal. We already had a photo taken by the local photo centre and that picture was rejected. Needed to retake the PR Card photo, we decided to seek a different location. We happen to stumble upon Scarborough Photo Center through Google Map when searching for a possible answer regarding the picture. After reading the countless positive reviews about Yasmin, we decided to go meet her. On the day on the photo, although we showed up near closing time, Yasmin and her staff welcomed us. They not only took an amazing clear photo, took the time to help us load the picture on the government website. Step by step, show us what to click and ensure the picture was successful loaded up to the very picky website. I do not know any photo studio that would take such patience and helpfulness to offer such high level assistance to the customers. Thank you soooooo much Yasmin. We know exactly where to go and refer our family and friends when they need to get a proper photograph taken.

    If you want the quick answer: they're one of the best choices, if not THE best choice, for getting professional photos taken if you're in Scarborough. I was only meant to go there for a quick passport photo, but I never thought I could enjoy getting one done ever! I was just casually talking and next thing you know, it's finished! Talk about efficient! It also helps that they're located right in the ServiceCanada building, so it's very convenient if you're short on time and need to get a quick photo done. All in all, I'm very satisfied with the photos taken and might find myself frequently coming here for professional photos.

    The lady here knows just what to do for taking a nice passport photo while keeping you comfortable and happy. Also extremely knowledgeable about passport applications. One of the nicest, down to earth people ever. I always look forward to renewing my passport because of her.

    Google doesn’t allow me to give more than 5 stars!! Yasmin truly deserves 7 stars at least.. she is very professional, quick and very efficient and made us very comfortable… we were there for the passport photo of my new born and she made him feel comfortable and we were done in 5-10 mins!! She is very well aware of all the government guidelines for photos and can handle new borns very well!! Going forward we would be going here for our photograph needs! She has a beautiful heart and great human being!! Thank god we met such a beautiful soul!! 100% recommended!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The photographer is amazing she is very sweet and very knowledgeable. I showed her the passport photos I had taken at Shoppers Drug Mart and she said that while they mostly like to get accepted, I look terrible. So we redid the photos and I honestly agreed I look a million times better, I look super fat and old in the shopper's photos. Plus she is a million times quicker and way more professional. I would recommend coming early and going to her because your photos will then out great

    Had such a wonderful experience with Yasmin and the other sweet lady who works here. I was alone with my baby and she couldn’t fit herself into the floor seat with her snowsuit on. I was going to just leave her on the ground but the other lady held her till I was all finished while working. Yasmin was so good and got the photo done in just a couple of minutes. I appreciate their professionalism and warmth!

  • 5/5 Yvonne L. 3 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    It was our first time taking our baby passport photo. Yasmin was very quick and professional! The photo came out perfect! She even gave us some tips and advice regarding passport application. Thank you once again!

  • 5/5 zainab a. 9 months ago on Google
    best place ever! yasmin is amazing at what she does, she took really nice pictures (and had lots of patience haha) for me and my sisters. she was also super helpful with the whole passport application process and was there to guide us through it all!! thank youu yasminnn <3 :*

  • 5/5 Alyse D. 9 months ago on Google
    What an incredible experience! Our little was sick but needed a passport quickly, she helped get the perfect picture, taking the time to make our baby feel safe. She was exceptional and gave us tips and helped us get our passport as quickly as possible. We are so grateful.

  • 5/5 Pavan V. 11 months ago on Google
    We visited several more pro passport stores before and were unhappy with the outcomes. We were trying our luck for a newborn baby passport picture and finally took a chance with Scarborough Passport Photo Center and Yasmin was indeed a blessing in disguise, and she just took 5 minutes and took the best pictures for my baby. Thank you so much, Yasmin. We highly recommend this photo center for anyone who is struggling for newborn babies for passport pictures and OCI or any other country passport pictures.

  • 5/5 Mahima C. 10 months ago on Google
    I love the lady who stands behind desk. She is so incredibly kind. Angel. Visiting this place for pictures feels like visiting family. So cozy! I met her today 21yrs after I got my own pictures taken. She is still super sweet!

  • 5/5 Varinica L. 1 year ago on Google
    Yasmin and her staff were amazing to work with! They were fast and the whole process itself was easy with there help! They guided me throughout the whole photo taking process and spent the time to ensure you’re happy with the outcomes. They genuinely care about their customers and the service they provide. Highly recommend to anyone looking to taking passport pics!!

  • 5/5 Alice “Allie” B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my second time attending the passport photo centre to obtain photos. Yasmin is extremely knowledgeable with the immigration processes, and will make sure sure you have right lighting and show you the photo before processing it. I highly recommend attending here rather than going to SDM or another cheap place for your photos.

  • 5/5 Nasir S. 2 years ago on Google
    Dear Yasmin, Thank you for choosing to help people in every interaction that you have. You have enormous amounts of empathy and kindness and you are doing 100 other jobs for free while you do your job of being an excellent photographer. You would be an amazing therapist, social worker, counsellor, motivational speaker, professor, because you are a wonderful healer. But the thing is, you are already doing all of these jobs just by the way you interact with others. Wishing you all the best and thanks for the great photo.

  • 5/5 AMAN K. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful service! Yasmin is very nice and polite. I am getting short of words. She is the BEST. Thank you for making me feel so secure and helping me out to get the best photo. More love to you❤️ I had an amazing experience and I highly recommend everyone to visit Yasmin at least once so that you can get a chance to experience great services and meet her.❤️ She is a Gem 💎

  • 5/5 Lovely H. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great experience at this photo center. I had called up the center first to see if there are any requirements as I had to take picture of my baby. The owner explained everything over phone to the exact point and booked us for the early morning appointment. Reached there on time and within 5 minutes we were out with the perfect photos, which were accepted by the passport office on the same day. I would also like to mention that this center was recommended by the passport office itself as they had to reject our photos twice (both taken at pro passport centers in Toronto). She made it so easy for us is really commendable. Thanks for your help!!

  • 5/5 Kateryna O. 2 years ago on Google
    Yasmin was super friendly and nice. She made sure the picture meets all necessary requirements and that I look good too. She will absolutely make sure that you look your best and you will get amazing results. I will definitely be coming back if I need this type of service again.

    Yasmin was amazing ! My daughter was cranky due to teething and Yasmin was super patient and did so many different things to make sure she was able to take the photo! Totally recommend this place for a passport photo! She’s so sweet and kind ! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Stewart P. 1 year ago on Google
    Yasmin and her assistant are the best! For UK Passport photos, and my renewal application, she handled everything perfectly. She has a complete knowledge of the UK passport process which has become more challenging as it is all online now. I highly recommend this company.

  • 5/5 Maria C. 11 months ago on Google
    I've never enjoyed taking my passport photo more than today, never thought I could actually enjoy the process. The woman who helped did so with care and a chipper attitude. This was the second place taking my passport photo because I didn't like the first. She cared about how the photo looked in the same way I'd care but wouldn't know how to correct, she helped with that. I'll be recommending everyone go here for their passport photos moving forward. Loved her energy. Loved reading through other reviews and her responses to them. A true gem.

  • 5/5 Destiny D. 1 year ago on Google
    Yasmin at Scarborough passport photo center is amazing! She is a fantastic photographer, our passport pictures came out gorgeous. Yasmin was also very knowledgeable with the passport progress and helping us make sure we had the photos signed correctly.

  • 5/5 Alex Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot overstate the kindness shown to me by Yasmin and Paul. I am a dual citizen and was in Canada for one day for work travel. I wanted to submit my paperwork for my Canadian passport, but due to an error on my photos, needed to completely retake/resubmit my photos and find a notary. Yasmin not only provided immediate photo service, but also promptly called her friend/coworker who could notarize all of my documents on the spot. Yasmin was incredibly kind, helpful, and expedient in helping me navigate a very stressful process. Her coworker and notary, Paul, waited at the passport centre until the office had approved all my documents (this lasted no less than an hour) and was equally kind and helpful. I cannot think of anytime where I have had better customer service or felt more assured by a stranger's generosity. What started as a very chaotic and stressful day found successful resolution through their incredible compassion and diligence. By day end, I had my new passport, thank you Yasmin and Paul for all of your help!

    The lady working here is amazing!! Makes you feel so comfortable and makes the process quick and efficient. She truly knows her stuff and we would definitely come back if i needed passport photos again!

  • 5/5 Nicole D. 1 year ago on Google
    Sheila gave me a Christmas miracle today. I was so blessed to have been helped by her. She went so far above and beyond to help me in my moment of panic. She knew everything there was to know about the passport application process and was so generous to help me gather everything I needed and ensure I filled the application correctly. Not only did she make such a tremendous effort to assist me with something that I'm sure is outside of her job description, but she did it with such efficiency and managed to calm me as well! I'm certain I would not have gotten my passport in time without her help. My passport photo came out quite nice too. THANK YOU SHEILA!

  • 5/5 Dianne B. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent experience! Yasmin was patient, friendly, knowledgeable and super supportive when we brought our 5 week old baby in to get her passport pictures. She definitely knows what she is doing. As new parents, we were very appreciative for her guidance and expertise.

  • 5/5 Marlene de L. 10 months ago on Google
    Yasmin is so good and quick at what she does and she does it with a smile on her face and a sense of humour. She took the perfect photo for an international driver’s permit in one shot. Total experience from the time I walked through the door was less than 5 minutes. She even gave me some great travel tips while I was on my way out. I’m only coming here for passport photos now!! Tips: • they take cash, debit or e-transfer • come on a weekday morning for a ridiculously fast turnaround • getting travel documents can make people stressed, but try to be kind to the staff that is only trying to help you :)

    I recently had my passport picture taken and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly friendly and patient, helping me find the perfect pose and fixing my hair to ensure the photo turned out just right. Her attention to detail and expertise made the process smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend her services for anyone in need of a professional passport picture!

    I visited Yasmin two years ago to get my permanent resident picture taken, and two years later, I am finally a Canadian citizen. I would not have been able to go through the process of citizenship without the help of Yasmin. On my initial visit, she walked me through the citizenship process, which was really how I started on my application. I usually hate having my photo taken, but Yasmin made me feel comfortable and made the process quick and easy for me. If you're looking to have a photo done, look no further. Yasmin is passionate about her work and will be there to greet anybody with her friendly smile. She is happy to help in any way she can. Thank you, Yasmin, for all you have done for me and how kindly you have treated me throughout the years!

    While visiting this location, I witnessed a heartwarming encounter. As soon as I entered, I was warmly welcome by two kind ladies. I got to see them guide an elderly couple through the entire process, from getting their passport photos done to assisting in filling out their passport forms. You could clearly see the challenges that seniors face when filling out those forms. However, Yasmin was able to step in and explain everything clearly and patiently answer any questions they had. It was a touching moment too see how grateful the couple was to have someone take the time to help them and share a laugh with. I wholeheartedly recommend the services offered here, particularly for seniors who may need extra assistance. It's comforting to know that places with such compassionate people like this still exist.
