The federal government is lifting a limit on how many Canadians can apply online to renew their passports, Immigration Minister Lena Diab announced on Tuesday.
Previously a maximum of 2,000 people per day could submit their applications online. That cap is now being removed. The online application process remains limited to those whose passport is set to expire within six months or has already expired.
“Eligible Canadians will no longer have to wait for an online application spot to become available, they will be able to begin their renewal online whenever it is convenient to do so,” Diab said during a news conference in Vancouver.
Canadians can only apply online from within Canada and will need to upload a digital passport photo from a commercial photographer. Applicants can also digitally upload their supporting documentation.
