Canada has created a new site where people can now check the status of their passport application with a few clicks online.
Karina Gould, the federal minister of Families, Children and Social Development, announced on Tuesday the launch of a new online Passport Application Status Checker.
Service Canada worked with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, Shared Services Canada and Canadian Digital Service to develop this new tool.
“We continue to work hard to modernize and improve our services to Canadians. The Passport Application Status Checker is a new, easy-to-use tool that allows Canadians to check the status of their passport applications online, 24 hours a day. Providing Canadians with a convenient option to obtain timely information about their passport application is one of several ways we are improving the client experience for passport applicants,” Gould said in a statement.
The government’s service delivery standard is 10 days to process in-person passport applications received at specialized passport offices and 20 days for applications submitted by mail or dropped off at a Service Canada Centre.
