Common Visa Upload Limits

Different portals enforce different rules. Use these as practical references while preparing files.

IRCC (Canada) example

2 MB per file (IRCC Portal reference)

IRCC limits vary by account and document field. Always confirm the exact limit shown in your portal.

Schengen portal example

2 MB per file

Many Schengen application flows request documents under 2 MB.

UKVI example

5 MB per file

Some UK workflows allow larger uploads but still require clean PDF formatting.

Limits vary by country, center, and document type. Always verify final limits on your official application portal.
