Woodex: you seem to have gotten the passport very fast. Did you order any expedited processing?

Could you please tell me what shows up on place of birth? Is it city only or country only or both?

Cheers

Depend on the city you specified in the application form, though they will ask if you want the city and country of birth to show in your passport.
If you ticked yes, then you will have both city and country on your passport other it won't.

I didn't know about that. are you serious that you can ask them not to show the place of birth?

I had a problem when I was young(<25), even within 5 years my face changed and I had few problems at air ports. If you are 25 or younger or if you think your face will change a lot withing next 5 year go for 5 year passport.
Or
Go for 10 years. Save some money and also save us some time in renewal process.

The new passport have chip embedded inside which mean better security. In my opinion 10yrs is better because days goes fast this days.

According to the instructions on page 5, section H of the passport application, if you don't want your passport to show your place of birth, you must fill form PPTC 077

Thanks, for that info

The problem with not listing your birth place and country in your passport, is that some countries may not even allow you to enter without that information available. Not sure which countries but I have read some countries that doesn't like missing info like birth place.

maybe Middle East countries. Why would someone want to hide his/her birth country?

I wonder if US is one of them. They probably doesn't want Dual Americans to use Canadian Passport with missing birth place to avoid being accused of being American avoiding filing taxes.
