A new Canadian passport has been unveiled but the Government of Canada. The newly redesigned passport and the changes are more than just cosmetic. The new design reflects Canada's identity, values, and culture while also incorporating new security features to prevent fraud and identity theft.
Key Striking Changes in the new Canadian passport include,
redesigned the cover
updated the visa pages to showcase Canada’s natural beauty
added images of Canada’s people, landscapes and wildlife that only appear in ultraviolet light
New art and new security features
But the redesign isn't just about aesthetics. The new passport incorporates state-of-the-art security features to prevent fraud and identity theft. Some new security features to make your passport more secure, including
an updated, tamper-proof data page
metallic foils in the shape of a maple leaf on the covers
a debossed maple leaf on the back
On the inside of the front cover, there is a colour-shifting ink in the shape of a deer and snowflake, and a visible passport chip and antenna on the opposite page. These features can be used to confirm the validity of your passport and keep your information secure. In addition, the passport now has a polycarbonate data page, which will last longer and is less likely to be damaged by water than before. Your personal information is also now laser-engraved, rather than printed in ink on the page.
Overall, the redesigned Canadian passport is a beautiful and secure document that reflects Canada's identity and values. It's a testament to the country's commitment to protecting its citizens and ensuring their safety while also showcasing its rich culture and natural beauty to the world.
Depending on when you apply, you may get the new or the old version. However, both versions are secure and reliable, so you don’t need to renew early to ensure your passport is accepted as a travel document. Starting this fall, you will be able to apply for the passport online.
No matter the version, the Canadian passport is one to be proud of!
