I can't say enough about Yasmin and my experience at SPPC. I came in in a panic because I needed an emergency passport done. Yasmin could tell I was frantic. Using her calm and comical approach she calmed me down and ensured everything would be okay. She provided me with lots of useful information regarding my passport application which sped up the process immensely. Yasmin is truly caring and you don't see that much these days, especially with the jaded employees upstairs who could care less about your unique problem. Thank you Yasmin for your help I really appreciate it!! More...

We (the family) having been using the services of Scarborough Passport Photo Centre for over 5 years,. We have ALWAYS appreciated the Patience and Understanding in dealing with 2 of our baby girls, in getting there pictures, and also my wife and myself. ..With our first daughter we went to another photographer/company first, and our 4 month old started to cry and they where not understanding, and asked us to come back when she wouldn’t cry, REALLY!!! So when we found SPPC, we where so relieved, as she did cry again, and Yasmin (I believe is the owner) comforted her and she stopped crying, and the photo was taken... Just this past week, I mentioned to one of Yasmin’s employees how difficult it’s been to submit all the documents needed to get my wife’s Canadian Citizenship. She said call Yasmin, as she will help us in this 5 year journey we have been on!After speaking to Yasmin, she made a appointment with us, and paid her assistant to come in and work, while she helped us out... Just to give context, I tried hiring a lawyer specializing in Citizenship Applications, and after meeting with him, and realizing that he didn’t seem to know what he was doing, I was at a loss to figure out what to do next...To top it off, he said his services would cost $1,600.00 dollars and he couldn’t guarantee she would get it, WOW!!! This journey was very stressful for my wife and I, as we heard the horror stories of making mistakes on the application... So after meeting with Yasmin and following her instructions, we submitted the Application yesterday, HOORAY!!!And to top it off, Yasmin wouldn’t take a penny from us, now that’s class!!! I asked her she was doing this for us, as I have the means to pay her, and her reply was “I like to give back!!!” GOD BLESS YOU YASMIN!!! More...

Yasmin was absolutely a God send! My parents are seniors and one of them lost their citizenship card. The government offers ZERO services in this area. You are required to fill out a complicated form and all communication is done via mail or online. For seniors that do not have knowledge of online forms this system is useless. Nevermind citizens that aren’t fully fluent in English. I myself found the forms complicated and I worked in Finance and have a business degree. Yasmin’s level of service and care to help people in this situation restores my faith in humanity. As a taxpayer I’m appalled the government abandons these vulnerable citizens without help and spends its resources on creating useless Youtube videos on how to do this which aren’t the least bit useful. Something needs to be done to address this. Thankfully Yasmin is filling the gap for these lack of services that should be provided to the government. She is amazing. Highly recommended. More...

Hi Yasmin,Thanks a lot for your exceptional service. I am simply amazed and touched by your great service. It was not easy to take a picture of a new born who is only 3 weeks old. You did it without any hassle. Me and my family will always remember you for your great help.Hi Guys,Honestly, I have never seen such a helpful and a compassionate person. Photography is not just a profession for Yasmin but I feel it is something beyond where she is trying to make a difference to community. She not only takes good pictures but tries to share valuable information with customers. I went to her for my son's passport picture. You cannot imagine she explained me the application process well, gave me the application forms and shared information that I should be cautious about during my travel with my baby. While we were leaving, my son started crying. She took my son in her arms and started calming him down with so much love and compassion. She also played a soothing music for son. We also asked her if she would be interested for our son's photo sessions. She said she no longer does it but however, she started sharing some student contacts with us so that we save our money for the photo-sessions and at the same time , these students get an employment and work opportunity. Wow, this is simply noteworthy. Hats off Yasmin for the impact you make on everyone's lives! More...

Great place to get passport photos done. It was a little on the expensive side in my opinion but the lady the took my daughters photos is so pleasant. We went to other places that was cheaper but they refused to take her photo because she's only 5 months they insist shes too small. Unfortunately i didn't get the lady's name but she was the one working on August 27 around 1pm. She's very friendly, greets you as soon as you walk in the door and she was ready for everything my baby needed to focus. Highly recommend this place. More...

The other passport picture stores stand no chance against this one!I went to have my passport pictures taken at this place after reading the positive reviews the night before. I went with high expectations and they indeed met them! My passport pictures turned out AMAZING. I hate how government identification such as driver's license and OHIP come out. How my passport pictures turned out was a pleasant surprise. The ladies in the store were TERRIFIC, professional and friendly you name it. I went there hoping to come out with good pictures and that is EXACTLY what I got. One thing that come through during my visit was the care and passion for the job. If I ever need any passport pictures I will definitely head to Scarborough Town Centre have my pictures taken at this store. It was worth the long drive and wait. Thank you sooooo much! More...

Awesome reception. We recently went to apply new passport for our infant. I could not find a phone number which could be used to discuss on things to do before reaching there. So i took everything i had. After reaching there at 330 on a friday. Remember this place closes by 4pm. They are really busy, yet calmly handle everyone. They considered each case with care. Although there were so many kids, screaming laughing playing,etc.... ; it never bothered the workers. I checkout by like 430. Late only due to the queue. No photos on premises. More...

We came here for a PR photo for sponsorship and was very pleasantly surprised by the service. Yasmin was super helpful on many different aspects and she was also very knowledgeable about the different applications. She not only gave us great photos, but she also helped us save an unnecessary trip elsewhere! Of the many places I've been to for different photos in the past, I think this will be the last, as I will keep coming back here for future photos. Thank you for the amazing service! More...

Visited this place a couple of weeks ago (to get a photo for a PR interview) only because it was close to my work, but have been truly enchanted with Yasmin's service, attitude and her personality overall. She knew what I needed without me saying it. An exemplary customer service, with plenty of helpful advice, suggestions and knowledge on immigration topics and PR interviews. Yasmin will make you feel her top priority. I would gladly recommend this place to anyone! More...

Wonderful service!! I visited this place only cos if the great reviews and it definitely is not exaggerated. I went to take a photo for my PR card. Yasmin not only took the photo, but also guided me on how to send the package to the processing center - she wrote down all the important points and asked me to use the Canada Post Express service.All in all - an exemplary service.

I went to shoppers and they told me they don’t take infant photos. I wanted to apply for my infants passport and I knew i had to head to Scarborough. A quick google search revealed a few options in Scarborough but this place had the best reviews. I figured that that this would be a good place to go to and I’m so happy that I did because the reviews couldn’t be any truer. The lady yasmin that works at this office is fantastic. She was super friendly. She got my 3 month old to laugh and within minutes took great passport photos. He was not fussy at all and it was nice for me as well being a first time parent. The whole process was seamless - I paid and had my photos in under 3 mins and was on my way to the passport office. I wish more businesses ran this way the world would be such a nice place. More...
