Are Canadian passport services available abroad?
Most Canadian government offices abroad provide the full range of passport services. There are some exceptions, such as consulates headed by honorary consuls, where only limited-validity emergency passports are issued. Canadians living abroad and Canadians living in the United States or Bermuda must complete separate applications. The requirements for the issuance of passports overseas are the same as in Canada. Processing time varies. Canadian government offices in the United States do not provide regular passport services. Canadians residing in the United States or Bermuda must submit their application to the central Passport Canada office in Gatineau, Quebec. Use of a certified courier/traceable mail service will reduce the delivery time of your application and ensure the safety of your documents.
