Canadians can once again apply for a passport starting Friday.

The Government of Canada has started the gradual resumption of some passport services, including the ability to apply for a passport by mail.
The government says, if you are in immediate need of a passport or are travelling in less than 30 days, with proof of travel, in-person appointments can be requested.

With processing times expected to be longer than normal, due to high demand, the government requests if you do not have travel plans to wait before applying for a passport.
Applicants can also use the simplified renewal process within two years of the expiry date, rather than one if their passport expired on or after February 1st, 2019.
This process allows Canadian to submit a shorter form without resubmitting their citizenship documents and a guarantor declaration.
