How London Drugs Passport Photos Work

Find your nearest location at londondrugs.com/locations. London Drugs has ~80 stores across BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Not available in Ontario, Quebec, or Atlantic Canada.
Walk in — no appointment. Go to the PhotoLab counter. Tell staff you need Canadian passport photos (or specify another country).
Photo taken in-store by PhotoLab staff using biometric photo equipment against a white background.
Two printed 50×70 mm photos ready in ~10–15 minutes. Photographer name, address, and date are stamped on the back — required by IRCC.
Pay at the counter. $14.99–$19.99 CAD depending on location. Call ahead to confirm current price.

The $50 Guarantee — What It Actually Means

The $50 guarantee is a store gift card, not a cash refund. It requires proof of rejection from the passport office and applies only to their in-store service. Compare to PixID: free redo or full cash refund, no store credit involved.

That said, it's meaningfully better than CVS, Walgreens, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Walmart — which offer no guarantee at all.

Price Varies — What People Report

London Drugs does not publish passport photo prices online. Customer-reported prices:

Most BC and Alberta locations: $14.99–$16.99 CAD
Some locations: up to $19.99 CAD

Call your local PhotoLab before visiting to confirm current pricing.

The Cheapest Compliant Canadian Passport Photo in 2026

Total: ~$7.50 CAD. Under 20 minutes including travel.

Create your photo with PixID ($4.99 USD ≈ $6.75 CAD). Select Canada Passport. Download the 4×6 printable sheet — 6 photos laid out.
Upload to London Drugs PhotoLab online (photolab.londondrugs.com) or use the kiosk in any London Drugs store.
Print as a standard 4×6 photo print — approximately $0.19–$0.25 CAD.
Pick up same day. Cut along crop marks. Done.

Guarantor reminder: Canadian passport applications still require a guarantor to sign the back of one photo. The PixID printable method produces a compliant photo — but you still need to arrange the guarantor signature the same as any other photo service.

Canada-Specific Rules London Drugs Handles

✓Photographer stamp: IRCC requires the photographer's name, address, and date on the back of the photo. London Drugs staff handle this as standard.
✓Professional photo paper: Canadian passport rules prohibit home printing on inkjet or regular paper. London Drugs uses professional photo paper — compliant.
✗Guarantor signature: London Drugs cannot sign as your guarantor. That's still your responsibility regardless of where you get photos.
✓No digital alterations: Canada explicitly bans AI and photo editing. London Drugs' in-store photography is compliant.
