This is great news, if you’ve ever waited in line for hours to renew your passport. Coming this fall you will be able, in most cases, to renew your passport online.
Canadians who need their travel documents renewed before visiting far-off shores will soon be able to skip the line at the passport office, the immigration minister announced Wednesday.
Starting in the fall, Canadians with simple passport renewals will be able to apply online and upload the necessary documents and passport photo on a secure government website, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said.
He made the announcement at an event to unveil a new design for Canada’s passport, which includes updated security features and colourful new pages — and removes some references to key moments in Canada’s history.
“The federal government is going to continue to work to improve our services and security for Canadians. This passport update is one of the many efforts that is going to improve travel and security,” Fraser said at a press conference at the Ottawa International Airport.
