Passport Canada joins CIC

06/25/2013

Effective July 2, 2013 primary responsibility for Passport Canada will move from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to Citizenship and Immigration Canada. This move is in line with the duties CIC already performs, such as verifying Canadian citizenship.
 

Canadians will not experience an interruption of services. They will be able to continue accessing passport services through all of the same service locations currently available in Canada through the existing network of 144 Service Canada Centres, 56 Canada Post intake locations, and 34 passport offices across the country.
