Expanding online renewal gives eligible Canadians a simpler, more convenient way to renew their passports, without unnecessary barriers or delays,\u201d said Diab in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is part of the Government of Canada\u2019s ongoing work to modernize passport services and deliver public services that are responsive to the needs of Canadians today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Canadians can complete their passport renewal application online by submitting their application, photo and payment digitally instead of mailing documents or visiting a Service Canada Centre.<\/p>\n<p>All passport applications require commercially taken photos.<\/p>\n<p>Online renewals follow the same 20-business-day service standard as simplified adult renewals submitted in most Service Canada Centres and by mail. They include real-time status updates so applicants can track their application as it\u2019s being processed.<\/p>\n<p>Canadians who need a passport sooner must apply in person at a Service Canada Centre or a passport office that offers the 10-business-day, express or urgent service.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/immigration-refugees-citizenship\/services\/canadian-passports.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"jewhyte \/ Depositphotos.com All eligible Canadian adults can now apply online to renew their passports, Minister of Immigration,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147113,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[164,51,18471,17,3016,3015,8482,46468,5161,46467,3017,46469],"class_list":["post-147112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-alberta","tag-calgary","tag-calgary-radio","tag-canada","tag-country-music","tag-indigenous","tag-lethbridge","tag-lethbridge-radio","tag-medicine-hat","tag-medicine-hat-radio","tag-south","tag-treaty-7"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
