Passport Services Have Resumed Again In Canada

 

Canadians that have an immediate need for a passport can once again apply by mail.

In a new release, it was said that Canadians that are to travel in less than 30 days or are in need of passports in an emergency, they can now apply for an in-person appointment.

In case a resident does not have travel plans but wants to get a passport, the government of Canada said that they are recommending for those people to wait.

The government expects a delay in processing times due to high demands for passports and to implement safety measures that protect the staff and the residents of the country itself.

Former-immigration minister Ahmed Hussein said:

Clients who need a passport in less than 30 days are encouraged to make a request for an appointment. The return of in-person public access to Service Canada offices will build on the new services ‎that were implemented and will continue to provide convenient support to those who need assistance in accessing our benefits and services.

Canada has also extended its simplified renewal process that allows people to apply to renew their passport without resubmitting their citizenship documents and a guarantor declaration.

People whose passports expired on or after February 1, 2019, can now use their simplified process within 2 years after the expiry date rather than just 1.

Service Canada Centres are currently delivery passport services through the appointment.

Marco Mendicino, Canada’s immigration Minister said:

Resuming Canadian passport services by mail and expanding in-person appointments for those who need a passport in less than 30 days is a significant first step toward resuming regular passport services in Canada, while prioritizing the health and safety of Canadians and our employees. Travel advisories and restrictions remain in effect around the world, but we recognize that many Canadians need a passport for essential travel or to plan for the future and we are making every effort to help them access these services.
