The Department of Immigration has unveiled the new passport design.
Canadian citizens now have the option to renew their passport online without sending an application by mail or visiting a passport office or Service Canada.
On the 10th of May, the Federal Immigration Department stated, “From this fall, you can renew your passport online.” The start date of online passport renewal applications has not been announced yet.
The Ministry of Immigration also unveiled the design of a new passport which includes newly enhanced security features.
The new passport has an image of a maple leaf in the center of the front and a coat of arms in the lower left corner.
The newly designed passport will commence this summer.
