Officials announced Wednesday that Canadians will soon be able to renew their passports online, as the federal government showcased an all-new passport design that has been a decade in the making.
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser and Social Development Minister Karina Gould unveiled the redesigned passport at the Ottawa International Airport. The passport has been updated from cover to cover with new artwork and beefed-up security features, according to Fraser.
“The new security features are going to help ensure Canadian passports remain one of the most secure, reliable and universally accepted travel documents anywhere in the world,” Fraser said.
Besides a new cover with an outline of a maple leaf, the inside pages feature artwork highlighting Canada’s diverse people, landscapes, wildlife and four seasons that only appear in ultraviolet light.
The new security features include a polycarbonate data page, which is the same feature used in Canadian currency and driver’s licences. Personal information will be laser engraved to make the data more durable and resistant to tampering. Inside, a visible passport chip and antenna have also been added to help confirm the validity of the passport and keep the information secure.
