Considering the population of Canada, 2.5 million is indeed an
overwhelming number of Canadian passports to be issued each year.
However, the process of renewal of a Canadian passport can be arduous if
the steps required to do so are not followed systematically and
properly.
Canada passport renewal falls under two categories- for
applicants above 16 years and for those under 16 years of age.
Applicants above 16 years of age should use form PPT040 and submit form
PPT132 (should be used only when guarantor signature is not obtained),
present Canadian passport, Canadian citizenship proof, certificate of
Canadian citizenship, Canadian birth certificate, other important ID and
two passport-sized photos. The total fee charged for granting a
Canadian passport is CDN100 (with guarantor signature) or CDN150
(without guarantor signature).
In case the applicant falls under
the age of 16, then along with the form PPT042, other documents that
need to be printed include form PPT132 (only when guarantor signature is
not obtained), present Canadian passport, Canadian citizenship proof,
certificate of Canadian citizenship, Canadian birth certificate, other
important ID and two passport-sized photos. Also, the applicant's
parents should sign the application and present any legal documents
concerning divorce (if any) and child custody.
The total fee comes up to
CDN35 (with guarantor signature) or CDN85 (without guarantor
signature).
Recently, in order to cater to the growing demand for
Canadian passports each year, the government formulated plans to offer a
better service for granting the passports. For the same reason, on July
5, 2004, a pilot project which extended to 20,000 applicants was
launched. The project, which ran until November 2005, aimed at offering
Canadian passport renewal as a permanent service by Passport Canada.
