YOUR CANADIAN
PASSPORT
A Canadian passport
is the only reliable and
universally accepted
travel and identification
document for Canadians.
You and each
family member must
have a valid passport
for travel outside
Canada. Application
forms are available at:
• passportcanada.gc.ca;
• Passport Canada offices;
• Service Canada centres;
• Canada Post outlets; or
• Canadian government
offices abroad.
Canadian travellers should
plan ahead and apply for a
passport before booking an
international flight. To avoid
delays in obtaining your
passport, ensure your application
is complete. Processing
times may vary depending on
the volume of applications
received and, in certain
cases, the complexity of
routine verifications and
security checks. Consult
Passport Canada’s website
for the latest processing
times.
KEEP YOUR PASSPORT SAFE
Do not leave your passport
unattended. Keep it safely
on your person, in an inside
pocket, or in a hidden
security wallet.
Make photocopies of your
passport’s identification page
and of your identification
cards. For added security, keep
copies separate from originals
when travelling and leave
copies with a friend or relative
at home. In addition to your
Canadian passport, we
recommend that you carry your
birth or citizenship certificate.
These precautions may speed
up the replacement of a lost
passport.
