FAQ
What is a CaRMS photo?
A CaRMS photo is a professional headshot submitted with your Canadian Resident Matching Service application.
What is an ERAS photo?
An ERAS photo is a professional image submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service for U.S. residency programs.
Do you know the current photo specifications?
Yes. We stay informed of current CaRMS and ERAS requirements and provide files in the correct format whenever possible.
How quickly will I receive my photo?
Most clients receive proofs the same day and final files the next business day.
Do you retouch the photos?
Yes. Professional but natural facial retouching is included.
What should I wear for a residency application photo?
We recommend professional business attire such as a jacket, blazer, dress shirt, or professional blouse in solid colours.
Why Not Use an AI-Generated Headshot?
Residency programs expect an authentic representation of applicants. A professional photograph provides credibility and accurately represents who you are. Your professional image is too important to trust to a selfie or an AI-generated version of yourself.
