      I just renewed mine online and my old one had expired about a year ago.

      Was pretty happy not to need to stand in line at the passport office.

      Finally! I finally don’t need to go to a passport office and wait for hours.

    3. I renewed mine online during the pilot phase a couple of months ago and it worked great!

      Ugh. Now when will I have the chance to get up at 5 AM to go wait in lines for 8 hours…

    5. I renewed my passport by mail, applied for my kids passport by mail, the same way for ages (decades?).

      It’s easier than doing it online because you need to get a digital picture from a supplier, that has to be on a usb stick. It literally costs more because of the stick.

    6. We have always found it a little funny that we take a photo on a digital camera, make a print from it, and then the passport office scans the photo back to a digital version.

      I do understand why, the passport process has to be very secure from start to finish, but also it seems silly. Nice to see they are making progress.

    7. I went to submit my renewal and it said they reached the daily limit and to try again tomorrow. So I think the are missing the point of automation

    8. Unless I am misunderstanding the article, I should be able to renew online even though my passport doesn’t expire for 7 months. I just tried to do the renewal online and it still has the 6 month expiry requirement. Not that I care as I don’t need to renew it right now, so I can easily wait until it is less than 6 months before expiry.

    9. So for the photo, we still need to make a trip to a place that does passport photos. Just now it’s digital.

    10. Something is wrong here.

      Either the minster spoke too early, or the government didn’t update the requirements on the site.

      I need to renew my passport so I can get a new visa for some travel in October, but I have just less than a year left of my passport.

      The site still says, it has to be within 6 months.

      I don’t want to have to go into a passport office.. It would be great I could renew online but seems like i’m in Limbo either go tomorrow, or pray it changes soon?

      Just confirmed by logging in.

    11. Did it a couple of months ago, so much better.

      Well it only took 30 years since the internet was widely used for this to happen.

      Amazing! I can do my EU passport online, it’s a much better process.

    13. just_chilling_too on

      I got my digital photo at CAA. and the process worked well.

      My only hiccup was Canada Post not delivering the passport or placing a card on the door to pick it up while I was home. So I waited a few week thinking it was still being process and had to check on my own at shoppers , knowing something was off. it was there for sitting for a while.

      I just did this and it was simple and easy. UPS store for instant digital photo, got passport delivered in 20 calendar days after submission.

      I’ve never had to go in person. It was always through the mail….
