Can I apply on official passport?

[imrankhan2015]

Hello,

I am working in Govt sector and I have a passport mentioning "Government Employee" in the occupation. Can I apply for Canadian immigration on official passport? I am planning to apply for Canadian immigration and if I'm successful, I am planning to resign from my current job.

Someone please advise. I tried to find this info everywhere, but unable to find any information regarding official passports.

If somebody please provide some link to the detail where it is written anything related to the acceptance/rejection about official passports for Canadian immigration. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Do you hold a dipolomatic passport or a normal citizen passport?

This is from IMM5612 (PR document checklist) . I hope this answers your question.

"You must hold a valid regular passport. Diplomatic, official, service or public affairs passports are not valid for immigration to Canada. "

Thank you so much for the replies.

@shradzsaraf: My country has three types of passports. Ordinary passport (green), Official passport(blue) and Diplomatic passport(red)

I have an ordinary passport(green), but "Government Employee" is written in the profession field on the second page of passport.

@iliv4u4ever: Thank you so much for the reference.

Can you guyz confirm whether or not my passport acceptable for immigration in this situation. Is there any email address/telephone number where I can call and confirm this from CIC or any other authority?

Thank you once again

I just got my passport request at the final stages of the application. It says: Please note Confirmations of Permanent Residence and visas cannot be issued to holders of diplomatic, military or official passports. You must hold an ordinary passport.
So if yours is definitely an ordinary one, should be fine.

It doesn't matter what occupation is written in your passport. Since you've mentioned it to be a regular passport (green), then you are eligible to apply.

As long as your passport is green in colour, you should be fine.

Is your passport blue in colour? If it is then it means its a regular passport. Then you should be fine.
