Inside of a Canadian passport

Canadian passports are issued to citizens of Canada for the purpose of international travel. Besides serving as proof of Canadian citizenship, they facilitate the process of securing assistance from Canadian consular officials abroad, if needed. In legal theory all passports are issued by the Canadian Monarch, but in practice responsibility for their issuance lies with Passport Canada, a Special Operating Agency of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, though each passport does note that it is issued in the Queen's name (see Passport note). For citizens abroad, passport applications are forwarded back to a passport centre by the local embassies, high commissions or consulates. Canadian passports are valid for five years for adults and children over the age of three, and three years for children under the age of three. They are not renewable; one must apply for a new passport after their original has expired. Download high resolution version (721x965, 50 KB)Cover of a Canadian Passport. ...

History

The first Canadian passports were issued in 1862 following the outbreak of the American Civil War when the United States demanded more secure identification from Canadians wishing to cross the border. They took the form of a "Letter of Request" from the Governor General. 1862 was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...

Year 1915 (MCMXV) was a common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Thursday[1] of the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ...

The Canadian passport was first issued in its modern booklet form in 1921. At the time Canadians were British subjects and Canada shared a common nationality code with the United Kingdom (see History of British nationality law). Canadian passports were issued to British subjects resident in or connected with Canada. Year 1921 (MCMXXI) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar). ... In British nationality law, the term British subject has at different times had different meanings. ... This article concerns the History of British nationality law. ...

As of July 1948, Canadian passports were issued to Canadian citizens only.^[2] The Canadian Citizenship Act is an Act of the Government of Canada, which came into effect on July 1, 1947, recognizing the definition of a Canadian, including reference to them being British subjects. ...

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations, develops the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth. ...

Physical appearance

Canadian passports are deep navy blue, with the Royal Arms of Canada emblazoned in the centre of the front cover. The word "PASSPORT•PASSEPORT" (the latter being the French spelling) is inscribed below the coat of arms, and "CANADA" above. The standard passport contains 24 pages, but it can be issued in a 48 page format upon request for an additional fee. Coat of Arms of Canada (since 1994) The Royal Coat of Arms of Canada (formally known as The Arms of Her Majesty in Right of Canada) was proclaimed by King George V on November 21, 1921, as the Arms or Ensigns Armorial of the Dominion of Canada. ...

Passport Note

The passports contain a note from the issuing state that is addressed to the authorities of all other states, identifying the bearer as a citizen of that state and requesting that they be allowed to pass and be treated according to international norms. The textual portions of Canadian passports is printed in both English and French, the official languages of Canada. The note inside of Canadian passports states: The English language is a West Germanic language that originates in England. ...

• In English:

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada requests, in the name of Her Majesty the Queen, all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.

• In French:

Le ministre des Affaires étrangères du Canada, au nom de sa Majesté la Reine, prie les autorités intéressées de bien vouloir accorder libre passage au titulaire de ce passeport, de méme que l'aide et la protection dont il aurait besoin.

On the inside of the back cover of recently issued passports in 2007, a logo is printed for the federal department of "Foreign Affairs Canada." This appears to be a clear printing error as there has never been a "Department of Foreign Affairs" in Canada--the Department of External Affairs was continued under the legal name "Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade" in 1995. Legislation was introduced in the 38th Parliament to legally separate DFAIT into two separate departments, but the legislation was defeated. However, the Federal Identity Program allowed the departments to identify themselves by separate names. When the legislation was defeated, the Treasury Board revoked the authority. The English language is a West Germanic language that originates in England. ... In the Cabinet of Canada, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is responsible for overseeing the federal governments international relations department, Foreign Affairs Canada. ... The Arms of Her Majesty in Right of Canada, proclaimed by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994. ... The Department of Foreign Affairs, also referred to as Foreign Affairs Canada, is the department of the government of Canada with responsibility for foreign policy and diplomacy. ...

When prompted for comment, Passport Canada stated that "According to the Federal Identity Program of the Treasury Board Secretariat, the applied title for the Department is as follows:

Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade / Ministère des Affaires étrangères et du Commerce international - Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada / Affaires étrangères et Commerce international Canada

However, Passport Canada has been permitted to keep using the previous name of the Department until the printed passport covers stock is exhausted."

Types of passports

Before 1947, there were two types of passports; those issued to British-born citizens and those issued to naturalized citizens. Year 1947 (MCMXLVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1947 calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Today, there are six types of Canadian passports:

• Regular Passport (navy cover): These are issued to citizens for occasional travel, such as vacations and business trips (24 pages). The maximum validity period varies with the age of the passport holder
  • Adults (16 years of age or over): 5 years
  • Children (3 to 15 years of age): 5 years
  • Children (Under 3 years of age): 3 years
• Frequent Traveller Passport (navy cover): These are issued to frequent travellers, such as business people (48 pages). These cost slightly more than a regular passport; $5 more for adults, $2 for children. The validity period for this passport is the same as for the regular passport.
• Diplomatic Passport (maroon cover): These are issued to Canadian diplomats, top ranking government officials, diplomatic couriers, and private citizens nominated as official delegates.
• Special Passport (green cover): These are issued to people representing the Canadian government on official business.
• Emergency Passport (1 page): Emergency passports are one-use documents issued to Canadians for direct return to Canada or to another Canadian mission where full passport services may be obtained.
• Temporary Passport (white cover): These are issued on behalf of Passport Canada to Canadians with an urgent and proven need for an interim passport.

New Rules for Renewals and Guarantors in 2007

Passport Canada introduced two new rules regarding renewals of Canadian Passports and eligibility of guarantors.

Effective August 15, 2007, Canadians who:

• reside in Canada when they apply,
• resided in Canada in their previous application,
• were at least 16 years old in their previous application, and
• are in possession of a Canadian passport valid for five years, issued after January 31, 2002, not damaged or reported lost or stolen, and issued under their current name

may renew the Canadian passport using a shorter application form, two new photos, application fee and the last passport.

Effective October 1, 2007, the rule for the eligibility of guarantors have been relaxed. The new rule allows Canadians who:

• currently hold five-year Canadian Passport which is currently valid or expired for no more than one year
• known the applicant for more than two years
• 18 years old or over, and must have been 16 or older when they applied for their own passport

may act as guarantors for first time passport applicants.

Refusal of Passport

Unlike other Commonwealth Realms Canadian passports are issued under the authority of an Order in Council and not an Act of Parliament. Accordingly, the issuance or refusal of a Canadian passport is a matter of royal prerogative. Under Canadian Passport Order, Passport Canada can refuse passport on certain grounds but not national security unlike Australia or New Zealand. This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ... The Royal Prerogative is a body of customary authority, privilege, and immunity, recognised in common law jurisdictions possessing a monarchy as belonging to the Crown alone. ... Cover of a Canadian Passport Passport Canada is an independent operating agency of the Government of Canada and Foreign Affairs Canada. ...

If the Minister of Foreign Affairs sees fit, he/she can request the Governor General to invoke their royal prerogative to refuse a passport. One notable case is Abdurahman Khadr. The Royal Prerogative is a body of customary authority, privilege, and immunity, recognised in common law jurisdictions possessing a monarchy as belonging to the Crown alone. ... Abdurahman Khadr (born 1983) is a United States at Guantanamo Bay after being detained in Afghanistan and alleged to have had connections to al_Qaida. ...
