Canadian passports and other travel documents: Applying in Canada
There may be a service disruption at Canada Post
Due to the potential Canada Post labour disruption, you should use another courier if you want to apply by mail, or apply at a Service Canada Centre or passport office.
In preparation for a possible labour disruption, we’ll deliver your passport through another courier. Some delays may occur.
Wildfires in parts of Canada may affect the mail delivery of passports or other travel documents
Contact us if you need your passport or travel document urgently and you:
- can’t access your mail, and
- asked to have your passport or other travel document delivered to you
