It took me about 3-4 weeks from the time I sent them. Mind you that it took about 4 days for the papers to get there by regular mail. You can fedex it to get there faster. Very important, the passport office is very anal about the pictures ie: shadows behind the ears in my case had to be retouched by the photographer

I had such issues getting them done here (San Jose, CA) that I ended up just waiting until the next time I went to Canada and did it there.

Black's Photography was great for me: 2 clear and shadowless copies, in and out in 20 minutes, $20.

I live in the northwest suburbs in the greater Chicagoland area. Does anyone know of a place that takes good Canadian passport photos? Based on user postings on websites such as this, I called Kinkos, JCPenny, USPS, and none of them do photos for Canadian passports. The reason is that their equipment/technolog is only configured to do the 2x2 size which is different than the dimensions required for a Canadian passport. Other users have commented that Walgreens and CVS do a terrible job. So far I have found this one place in downtown Chicago which is 30+ miles away, so I'd like to find a place that's closer. Any suggestions?

You could try Walgreens and CVS near you. Every one of them would be different, your experience may vary from someone's in say BF Idaho.

Failing that, perhaps a professional photographer studio could do it to specs.

Or look for a small mom/pop type camera store. A camera store by me (in VA,lol) does them. One would never know as they don't advertise it. Look in the yellow pages or google.
