Passport Renewal Application
Canadian passport services are delivered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada through application centres and, in some cases, by mail. Renewal eligibility depends on your current passport’s validity, name changes, and photograph requirements. Fees are set by regulation and published on Canada.ca.
Application status
Status: payment pending. Submitted: 2026-04-12T16:20:00-04:00. Delivery method: Courier. Estimated processing (weeks): 10. Fee (CAD): $120.00.
Application reference
File number (masked): PPT-R•••••918. Quote this number when contacting the passport program. Do not post it publicly. Payment pending means your file cannot move to processing until funds clear.
Travel urgency
If you have documented urgent travel within a specific window, inquire about expedited service rules and evidence requirements. Not every situation qualifies. A valid passport does not guarantee entry to another country; check foreign entry rules including validity-on-arrival rules.
Photos, guarantors, and identity continuity
IRCC photo standards are strict; retail studios that specialize in passport photos reduce rejection rates. Name changes require marriage certificates or legal change documents aligned across health, driver, and CRA records. Guarantor rules for full applications differ from simplified renewal—teach applicants to read the checklist for their specific scenario.
