Canada Passport Application - Question

[fedex682]

Hi,

I had a quick question on the application process for a Canadian Passport.

I see one of the requirements is "any valid Canadian travel document issued in your name"
What would be an example of such a document? We would no longer have the Canadian PR card with us. The country I am from does not support dual citizenship so I will be letting go of my other Passport. So the Canadian Visas I have received would not suffice right?

Could we use COPR - Confirmation of Permanent Residence document?

Pr card & copr isn't a travel document and so you don't need it in passport application

You need one piece of valid Photo ID which is issued by federal or provincial government one such ID is provincial driver licence. You can also use your country of origin passport as ID before surrendering it.

Thanks! I intend to take my Driver's license, Health Card, PR card, COPR and My current passport (before I surrender it)

That said I still do not understand why they mention "any valid Canadian travel document issued in your name" as a mandatory requirement for passport application

Fedex,

It is quite simple:

- Driver License/Id/ or Health Card
- Citizenship Certificate
- Photos
- Application (completed)
- $

That is all you need. Anything else, it is not necessary.

Valid Canadian Travel document is issued to convention refugees, protected persons, stateless persons and PR holders who can not get passport of their home country for valid reason. This does not apply to you so follow SFD simple steps.

I have the same question, per the Canada passport guidelines...

• proof of Canadian citizenship (original only)
• a document to support your identity
• two identical passport photos (the name and the complete address of the photographer and the date the photos were taken must be included on the back of one of the photos. Read the full requirements for more information)
• any valid Canadian travel document issued in your name

I am a Canadian Citizen, living in the US. So in the same order above I plan for my documents to be...

- Birth Certificate
- US Passport
- Unknown

How can Canada expect me to have a valid Canadian travel document, if I'm not living in Canada? Even though these are the same requirements listed under "Applying from the United States".

It is because it is same form for renewal as well.

Any valid travel document is any document that can still be used for travel and that includes any valid Canadian passport you might have. Of course as a newly naturalized Canadian, you don't have one.
This can also includes other travel documents such as issued for refugees etc....
