Canadian passports and other travel documents: Applying in Canada
Mail delivery of passports is gradually resuming
As of December 19, Canada Post has started picking up passports we held during the labour disruption for delivery. However, delays are expected as they catch up.
If you already applied and need your passport urgently
Call us at 1-800-567-6868 (TTY: 1-866-255-7655) or visit us at any Service Canada location to ask for your file to be transferred for pickup. You must provide proof of travel and may need to pay additional fees.
