If you are looking for an easy guide to fill out the passport application... here it is!!! Couldn't be explained any easier. Thanks for posting this video
Thank you very much for this clear and simple explanation. It is my first time completing the application form for a Canadian passport since I became an adult and I wasn't quite sure for certain things but thanks to this video I could go without worrying tmr to the passport office. A big thanks to you.
An excellent job of explaining this - right now I am applying for my Canadian Citizenship Certificate by descent, but the passport is next - it's good to see it step by step.
Thank you so much for this tutorial .. there were a few questions that I had trouble figuring out , it’s impossible to get through calling passport Canada at this time in Quebec because of a high volume demand which was not the case years ago . Because of your video I was able to fully complete the form .God bless you.

Hi Sir I want to say a big Thank u to u for ur time and kindness in providing all details in understanding how to fill our Passport Application.... U have really guided me and help me to fill it myself...Thank u so much...
My daughter who was born in Canada in 2002 but came to Pakistan in 2004 and never went back needs to apply for a new Canadian passport.She was issued a passport in 2003. The only i.ds she has are her expired old passport,health card(without a photo) and her birth certificate. Concerning section 5, she needs to provide two other documents to support her identity. Can she include her Pakistani documents like her Smart card and F.R.C or her Canadian health card? Most importantly,thanks for such detailed information.I really appreciate the way you explain everything.
Thank you Iram. Your daughter can use any government (of any country) valid issued ID. As long as it has the following five mandatory requirements: Name, DOB, Signature, Photo, Gender. If she has an ID with all of these then one ID is enough. Otherwise she can use more IDs to satisfy all requirements together. Hope this helps.
I am going to use my Drivers License for my ID. for the “Your name as it appears on the document”, would it be Last Name first, then your Given Name(s)?
Thank you for such a helpful tutorial. I fixed a lot of mistakes in my application. I had a small question. If I started school in 2016 and I'll be ending it in 2020, how do I fill in the Date From and Date To sections in 7b? Should I consider only the past two years of my school (e.g Date From: Feb 2018 -> Date To: Present) or should I write (Date From: Sep 2016 -> Date To:Present)
Greetings, thank you for this magnificent video. Section 7 -- if I have had more jobs or more addresses than the lines given, it says "If insufficient space, attach a separate signed and dated sheet." What would that look like? A duplicate of page 3? Or Just a separate sheet with a duplicate of section 7? Thank you!!
Hi Trevor. Thanks for your question. It really is up to you, if you can fit your supplementary information in a duplicate sheet you can do that or if you have a lot more information simply providing an additional sheet adhering to the criteria requested is fine too. Just make sure you sign and date the additional sheet. All the best with your application 😊
In section 3 if I have an expired passport that I can not find do I select yes but leave the number and date blank. Also for section 7 if my job is still current do I just put "current" or still a date? Thanks for any help
Hi, great questions! Q1: Yes, please check the yes box and in the white space next to that section you can write: "expired, no longer in my possession". Q2: Yes, you can write 'current' or 'present'. Good luck with your application!
My photographer stamped the back of my photo with " I certify that this is a true likeness of " and then left a space for my guarantor to write my name. Will this be accepted or does that statement need to be hand written? Thank you!
Hi Jennifer. Thanks for your question. Yes, this type of stamp is quite common. The statement is actually not mandatory anymore. As long as your guarantor signs the back of the photo, that's all that matters. But the statement won't cause any issue either way. Good luck with your application 👍
Hello ! I have a question regarding the form. What application form should I use to fill up for an expired passport years ago? Please give me the link of form. Thank you so much.
Hi. Thanks for your question. The form in this video is indeed for you. Here's where you can get it: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/new-adult-passport.html
This video is amazing, thank you so much! For section 5 I am planning to use my driver's license and health card (BC). For document number do I put the actual driver's license/personal health card number or the serial number that is on the back of each card? I assume it is the actual DL/PHN numbers but wanted to confirm. Thanks for your help!
Hi. Thanks for your question. You're correct the licence number/ personal number on the front is correct to use. Good luck with your application and thanks for watching 👍
@@TheFormFiller One more question! For 7B if there was a period of unemployment, do you know if an address or phone number need to be provided? I assume if yes then just your home address/number? Thanks again!!
Hi!! Thanks for the video, but do you know how to fill in the Date and Signed at information under the Signature? I'm using adobe to fill out the forms but it is not letting me type in that section.
Hi. Sure it does. But please do provide the exact amount of time that you were on maternity leave. And ensure there are no gaps for the past 2 years. Good luck👍
This is a great video, so well explained. Thank you. In the number of years of knowing the applicant section under Section 8, how specific do the years need to be? Hypothetically, if a reference new the applicant for 4 years and 3 months roughly, does the application need to say 4 years and 3 months or does it need to be rounded up or down? Also if any section does on the form not apply to me, can I simply leave it blank?
Hi Ekta, thanks for your questions! Q1 feel free to round up or down the years, it doesn't have to be too specific. Q2 Best to write n/a in any sections not applicable to you. Good luck with your application 👍
great video.. question? section 4b..i never receive the original copy of my Canadian certificate but i have the e-certificate sent to me through email. do I need to send them a copy of my e-certificate or just write the certificate number and date of issue are just fine?? thank you
Hi. Thanks for your question. You'll need to provide the original of either a Canadian birth certificate or Citizenship certificate with your application. Source: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/new-adult-passport/citizenship-proof.html
Hi David. Thanks for your question. Doesn't matter if it's in all caps or lower case. Main thing is that it is legible. Best of luck with your application. 👍
Question? My mother is Canadian Citizen born in North Battleford but lives in USA. She wants to go back to Canadian for visit, at 90 years old may not have much time. Can she have a daughter in law sign for reference?
Hello Linda. Thanks for your question. A reference is someone that has known your mother for at least 2 years and is not related to her. Unfortunately in-laws are seen as too close a relation, so cannot be references. However quite recently and somewhat strangely: uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces CAN be references as long as they do not live at the same address as your mother. References are commonly friends, colleagues or neighbours. I hope the application goes well. Do let me know how you get on! Best of luck! :)

So i'm stuck at the Employment section, feels like it should be obvious, if you're still working, would you leave the end date blank? Or do you put todays date for the Date (to)?
Thank you for the very informative video. I wanted to ask for the Previous Canadian Travel Document, can i present my Permanent Residence Card? I mean isn't that a travel document? Will i be able to click the option to have it returned to me?
Hello Ese. I'm glad to hear that the video has been of help to you. Thanks for the question. As far as the Passport Dept. is concerned, a Travel Document is one of the following: a regular passport, a temporary passport or an Emergency Travel Document. Therefore the PR Card is not seen as a Travel Document. Hope that helps, all the best with your application :)
Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, your guarantor can be a relative. As long as they are from an eligibile occupation or hold a valid Canadian passport and have known you for 2 years or more. Good luck with your application 👍
For section 7A, If I lived at a different address in the last 2 years, should I include both my previous and current address in this section? Or just the previous address?
Hello. Your current address will be on page one. So only need to put your previous addresses in the past 2 years in section 7. Just make sure the dates line up and there are no gaps in the past 2 years. 👍
I have a question about Section 3. I had a PR card which was cut during the oath ceremony and this will be the first time I’m applying for a passport. My PR card was my travel document over the last 4 years. Should I fill section 3 with the number of PR card? Or this is just for the previous passports? Thank you
I destroyed my passport back in 2012 after it has expired,in the question #3 of the application I have no way of knowing what my passport number is when filling out a new application since my entire old passport is destroyed. If I answered yes and it says please specify but I don't have my old passport number,how would I be able to respond to that.
Hi Albert, thanks for taking the time to write a comment and ask a really good question. I would answer yes and in the passport number field write 'unknown', furthermore, in the blank space next to 'date of issue' you can simply write that the old passport is long expired and has been securely destroyed. Or you could provide a very short covering note with your application explaining the situation with your expired passport, which is always a wise thing to do to give context to the passport officer. All the best!
The Form Filler Also for those individual like me who have massive difficulties with Passport applications,could you do a tutorial video about question #3 for those who no longer have their old Passport and Passport number and explain when answered yes and give keywords details when asked to specify in the Passport number box.
Hello, for section 7b, if i need to use an additional sheet for information, should I write it like "ABC" on the original sheet than the continuation "DEF" on the additional sheet? and on the additional sheet it says "file number:___" in the top right corner, what should i put there? than you so much
Hi Michelle. Thanks for your question. That's correct, continue the theme on an additional sheet to keep things consistent. File number is for internal use so you can ignore that. Good luck with your application. 👍
Where should the guarantor Sign? On top of your health card? If he signs on top of your health card its going to hide the date of birth etc... or the he/she should sign on separate paper?? it's very confusing
Thanks for all the help, much appreciated. I had a question though, in section 7b, if you're currently still employed at that current job do you put the start date to the actual date you fill out the application?
Hi Ciaran! For you current job please list the start date in the 'from'' section. In the 'to' section you may write: 'present', 'current' or 'ongoing'. Make sure you account for two years worth of work/education and include any periods of unemployment. Good luck!
My wife did not have a surname at time of birth, Just a first name. Our daughters birth certificate says "not stated" as the surname of her mother , which is wrong and I complained about it. it should have been left blank. Her mothers surname was not " not stated" So what do I put on my daughters application for her mothers surname ????
Jeff Guarino Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment. I understand that you and you're wife are unhappy about how the province filled in the surname section. I think they have to write something in that field so 'none stated' is just the term they use. Just like other terms such as 'not applicable'. I would write 'none stated' in your child's application as this will be cross referenced with your child's birth certificate. So as long as the two 'names' match it will not cause any issue in applying for a passport for your child. Depending on the province where your wife was born she could apply for a new birth certificate to be issued in her current surname if she prefers, I know Ontario can for sure do this. All the best with the application!
Thank you for this upload my passport is expired by 20 yrs I need to apply as a new applicant as its pass the 15yrs to renew.. Were can I get the form for a new passport im in the us im Canadian by birth .. I need the new applicant form.. Thank you
I lived at one different Address for 5 years and been living at my current Address since the past 1 year. Should I include both Addresses or just the past Address in the Addresses section?
Hello. As your current address is on page one. You only need to provide the previous address and dates for it in the addresses section. Good luck with your application 👍
@@TheFormFiller Oh Thanks very much. Appreciate it. Also, love the Video, it's so detailed and was very easy to jump to a particular section if need be.
Hi Ray. Thanks for your question. With signatures you will have to sign by pen. There is no electronic signature option. Good luck with your application 👍
i have a valid drivers license but the address on it is my last place of residence not current. i have the previous one on the form which matches my id as well as my current address im living at. will this be a problem because my current one doesn't match the drivers license? regarding documents to support identity and additional personal information
Hi Jackson. Thanks for your question. As long as your drivers licence is valid, it should be accepted. The address shouldn't cause too much of an issue. Best of luck 👍
Thank you for this video! Question: I had a passport issued to my name previously. But its been expired for several years and I no longer have it. What should I do for the passport # in Section 3?
Hello. Thanks for your question. Tick yes, in the number section write 'unknown' and in the white space nearby write 'Long expired passport, no longer in my possession'. This helps the officer know that you have passport history and hopefully speeds up the processing a little bit. Good luck with your application 👍
Hi Vijay. Thanks for your question. As the uncle/aunt does not live at the same address as the applicant, they can be references! Good luck with your application 👍
Hi, my company( worked 2 year) is taken over by other company( worked 6 months). Do I need to mention my new company information only or previous and current company information
if i got my citizenship this year, do i need to fill section 4, part 2 or not. I am using canadian citizenship issued this year eventhough i am born during mentioned period.
Hello, thanks for your question. Unfortunately at this time there is no option for an electronic signature. You have to still sign with a pen. Good luck with your application 👍
I have been working and will continue to work in different countries outside the US for maybe another year on top of 2018, (New Zealand and Australia). But I have a home address in the US, would I be able to apply for the Canadian passport to have it submitted to my home address in US while I am still abroad?
Hello! Thanks for your question! Please note that you must apply for the passport at the Embassy/High Commission that serves the jurisdiction you currently reside in. e.g if you apply in Australia the passport cannot be mailed to anywhere outside of Australia such as the USA. You can apply however in person and as long as you will pick up the new passport in person you may apply anywhere in the world. Have you also considered the 'Retention' service that is available? It may be the solution to your issue. Please let me know how it goes, all the best!
Hello! Thanks for leaving a question. That's correct, you need to account for all periods of employment in the past 2 years. That's December 2016 to December 2018. You can also provide an additional sheet of paper if you run out of space on the form. But please do account for the two years and include any periods of study, unemployment or even travelling to ensure your application isn't rejected! All the very best :)
Am I allowed to leave sections that don't apply to me blank or do i need to type N/A in those sections? Also in section 5 where it says your name as it appears, do i write "Last Name, Given Name(s)"?
Hi, I have a question For the address part, do we have to add places while we were on vacation ? I was travelling most of the time but I haven't stayed anywhere for more than 5 months at once.
Hello, Thank you for such a well done and well explained video. Ok, I am Canadian and live in Michigan as a "permanent resident alien" (my green card is the OLD one that does NOT need to be updated or renewed) anyways.... 1. When providing Proof of my Nationality, will my Short Form Birth Certificate suffice? It's all I have regarding my Canadian info. THEN....will my Michigan License also suffice for that second piece or for any other proof that maybe needed? (don't have a health card at all). 2. Lastly, I need an expedited passport, I know they cost much more and that is fine, I was planning on driving over to London Ont (my home town!) and plan to spend at least 2 nights, possibly more if need be and arrive, first thing on a Mon morning. (hoping to have passport, if completed properly by Tues or Wed 48 hour expedited time frame) Any insights would be great, plus I don't mind heading home to London Ont and make a small trip out of it, show my kids where Dad is from. Thanks again.
Hi Flynn. Thanks for your kind words and your question. Yes, the original short form birth certificate will be fine. As long as the Michigan license is the original and is still valid that will be an acceptable form of ID. I'm aware that certain larger offices can issue 24hr rush passports such as Toronto. But I'm not familiar with the London, ON office. It may be wise to give them an email or call +18005676868 if possible and confirm before making plans to be on the safe side. Let me know how the application goes. All the best! :)

In section 7 when you put date to and from what would you put if it’s your current job or a future thing like school. Say my school ends in 2022 and I currently have the jobs that began more than 2 years ago?
Hi. Thanks for your question. You can put current jobs or school in the 'to' section as simply 'current' or 'present'. Remember you only need to account for the past two years, so for example right now it would be Feb 2017 to Feb 2019. All the best with your application! :)
If I have been travelling for the past 6 months (unemployed), what would I put as my address and phone number in section 7? or would i just right "unemployed" in the first box with the dates and leave the other boxes blank.
I hope you still answer here. The credit card information section, there is a grey box that says "for official use only" i accident wrote in it a bit, is that okay? also do I leave the white space blank?
Hi..thanks for this video I have a quick question my daughter she is 16 year 9 months old.she have only one government ID which is a health card from Canada bc .whole applications needs atleast 2 identity.please tell me what I do ??
Thank you so much for your informative video ! One question, for “Proof of Canadian Citizenship”, if the applicant is filling the form with a birth certificate, does the original Birth Certificate also need to be sent in with the other passport application documents? Or is filling in the information for the Birth Certificate only required?
Hello Daisy, thanks for your question. You'll have to complete the birth certificate information on the form and send the original birth certificate with your application. Good luck! :)
In section 7. If a date started more then 2 years ago but ends less then 2 years ago, what do you put for the from date? Do you put a date 2 years prior? Do you but the very beginning date even if it is way before 2 years prior?
This is the first time I am ever applying for the canadian passport. I have completed the entire form except for Section 3, as I dont know whether the PR card is considered to be a canadian travel document. My PR card has expired and i was asked to cut it up at my oath ceremony. So how do i answer section 3? Should i click No, as i have never had the canadian passport before? Would really appreciate all the help i can get
Hello Sahil. Thank you for your question. Your PR card is not a travel document. Therefore you should tick no in section 3. Good luck with your application and congratulations on your citizenship.
Hi Sir, Wanted to say thankyou so much for making this video. I have one question- when i filled out my application it still shows red either circles or squares on text boxes and i have made sure all the info is correct. I am not getting any error but was just worried, like is it okay to submit the application? If you can please reply, I would really appreciate it.
Hi Mandy, glad the video helped you. As long as you are happy that you have completed all of the sections and ensure you sign with a pen once you have printed the application, you should be fine. I don't think the pdf version of this form from the government website is well constructed, so the red boxes could be coming up in error. Best of luck with your application.👍
Thank you so much for the video, I actually got a query. I was born out side canada so in Canadian passport in place of birth can i just write the country’s name where i was born and not the city?
Hi. Thanks for your question. There is an option to do this, however along with the application form you need to complete and sign an additional form where you acknowledge that only the country will appear on your passport. To get this form, you need to contact your local passport office and request it. Good luck 👍
Hello, I have a given name on my PR card and I wanted to know that when I apply for the Canadian passport can I add an unregistered last name as my surname in surname text box? Will this cause any issues? Thank you!

Also if any section does on the form not apply to me, can I simply leave it blank?
Hi Ekta, thanks for your questions! Q1 feel free to round up or down the years, it doesn't have to be too specific. Q2 Best to write n/a in any sections not applicable to you. Good luck with your application 👍
@@TheFormFiller thank you for your prompt response. For my own understanding, if I leave the sections blank instead of writing N/A, is that a problem?
great video.. question? section 4b..i never receive the original copy of my Canadian certificate but i have the e-certificate sent to me through email. do I need to send them a copy of my e-certificate or just write the certificate number and date of issue are just fine?? thank you
Hi. Thanks for your question. You'll need to provide the original of either a Canadian birth certificate or Citizenship certificate with your application. Source: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/new-adult-passport/citizenship-proof.html
Hello, i want to ask you about section J-B. What letters should I use for my guarantor's firm: capital or lowercase?
Hi David. Thanks for your question. Doesn't matter if it's in all caps or lower case. Main thing is that it is legible. Best of luck with your application. 👍
20:57 Is it include the Permanent Resident Card??
Hello. PR Card should not be submitted with your application.
Thank you so much
Question? My mother is Canadian Citizen born in North Battleford but lives in USA. She wants to go back to Canadian for visit, at 90 years old may not have much time. Can she have a daughter in law sign for reference?
Hello Linda. Thanks for your question. A reference is someone that has known your mother for at least 2 years and is not related to her. Unfortunately in-laws are seen as too close a relation, so cannot be references. However quite recently and somewhat strangely: uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces CAN be references as long as they do not live at the same address as your mother. References are commonly friends, colleagues or neighbours. I hope the application goes well. Do let me know how you get on! Best of luck! :)

So i'm stuck at the Employment section, feels like it should be obvious, if you're still working, would you leave the end date blank? Or do you put todays date for the Date (to)?
Hi Dave. You can leave it as 'present' or 'current'. Good luck with your application 👍
@@TheFormFiller awesome thanks!
Thank you for the very informative video. I wanted to ask for the Previous Canadian Travel Document, can i present my Permanent Residence Card? I mean isn't that a travel document? Will i be able to click the option to have it returned to me?
Hello Ese. I'm glad to hear that the video has been of help to you. Thanks for the question. As far as the Passport Dept. is concerned, a Travel Document is one of the following: a regular passport, a temporary passport or an Emergency Travel Document. Therefore the PR Card is not seen as a Travel Document. Hope that helps, all the best with your application :)
The Form Filler Thank you the clarification.
hope you can answer? If the guarantor occupational based, can they also be a family member
Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, your guarantor can be a relative. As long as they are from an eligibile occupation or hold a valid Canadian passport and have known you for 2 years or more. Good luck with your application 👍
For section 7A, If I lived at a different address in the last 2 years, should I include both my previous and current address in this section? Or just the previous address?
Hello. Your current address will be on page one. So only need to put your previous addresses in the past 2 years in section 7. Just make sure the dates line up and there are no gaps in the past 2 years. 👍
I have a question about Section 3. I had a PR card which was cut during the oath ceremony and this will be the first time I’m applying for a passport. My PR card was my travel document over the last 4 years. Should I fill section 3 with the number of PR card? Or this is just for the previous passports? Thank you
Hi. This refers only to previous passports. Nothing to do with PR cards. 👍
I destroyed my passport back in 2012 after it has expired,in the question #3 of the application I have no way of knowing what my passport number is when filling out a new application since my entire old passport is destroyed.
If I answered yes and it says please specify but I don't have my old passport number,how would I be able to respond to that.
Hi Albert, thanks for taking the time to write a comment and ask a really good question. I would answer yes and in the passport number field write 'unknown', furthermore, in the blank space next to 'date of issue' you can simply write that the old passport is long expired and has been securely destroyed. Or you could provide a very short covering note with your application explaining the situation with your expired passport, which is always a wise thing to do to give context to the passport officer. All the best!
The Form Filler Also for those individual like me who have massive difficulties with Passport applications,could you do a tutorial video about question #3 for those who no longer have their old Passport and Passport number and explain when answered yes and give keywords details when asked to specify in the Passport number box.
Nice
is it still possible to use 2 references that are mr and mrs?
Yes, absolutely!
Hello, for section 7b, if i need to use an additional sheet for information, should I write it like "ABC" on the original sheet than the continuation "DEF" on the additional sheet? and on the additional sheet it says "file number:___" in the top right corner, what should i put there?
than you so much
Hi Michelle. Thanks for your question. That's correct, continue the theme on an additional sheet to keep things consistent. File number is for internal use so you can ignore that. Good luck with your application. 👍
Thank you, but what mean Date of travel? Top of forms
Where should the guarantor Sign? On top of your health card? If he signs on top of your health card its going to hide the date of birth etc... or the he/she should sign on separate paper?? it's very confusing
Thanks for all the help, much appreciated. I had a question though, in section 7b, if you're currently still employed at that current job do you put the start date to the actual date you fill out the application?
Hi Ciaran! For you current job please list the start date in the 'from'' section. In the 'to' section you may write: 'present', 'current' or 'ongoing'. Make sure you account for two years worth of work/education and include any periods of unemployment. Good luck!
@@TheFormFiller could you still use the employer if you worked for under 2 years?
My wife did not have a surname at time of birth, Just a first name. Our daughters birth certificate says "not stated" as the surname of her mother , which is wrong and I complained about it. it should have been left blank. Her mothers surname was not " not stated"
So what do I put on my daughters application for her mothers surname ????
Jeff Guarino Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment. I understand that you and you're wife are unhappy about how the province filled in the surname section. I think they have to write something in that field so 'none stated' is just the term they use. Just like other terms such as 'not applicable'. I would write 'none stated' in your child's application as this will be cross referenced with your child's birth certificate. So as long as the two 'names' match it will not cause any issue in applying for a passport for your child.
Depending on the province where your wife was born she could apply for a new birth certificate to be issued in her current surname if she prefers, I know Ontario can for sure do this. All the best with the application!
Thank you for this upload my passport is expired by 20 yrs I need to apply as a new applicant as its pass the 15yrs to renew..

I lived at one different Address for 5 years and been living at my current Address since the past 1 year. Should I include both Addresses or just the past Address in the Addresses section?
Hello. As your current address is on page one. You only need to provide the previous address and dates for it in the addresses section. Good luck with your application 👍
@@TheFormFiller Oh Thanks very much. Appreciate it. Also, love the Video, it's so detailed and was very easy to jump to a particular section if need be.
The dates for section 7b I'd it just year and month or day month and year
Hi Dean, thanks for your question. Month and year is fine. Good luck 👍
how do i make a signature do i print it or something because im clicking on the signature and it wont let me please help me
Hi Ray. Thanks for your question. With signatures you will have to sign by pen. There is no electronic signature option. Good luck with your application 👍
@@TheFormFiller oh thank you also I’m outside of canada, do i have to get a signature from a guarantor that is canadian?
What about on going occupation?, should I put ongoing on the date(to) section?
i have a valid drivers license but the address on it is my last place of residence not current. i have the previous one on the form which matches my id as well as my current address im living at. will this be a problem because my current one doesn't match the drivers license? regarding documents to support identity and additional personal information
Hi Jackson. Thanks for your question. As long as your drivers licence is valid, it should be accepted. The address shouldn't cause too much of an issue. Best of luck 👍
Thank you for this video! Question: I had a passport issued to my name previously. But its been expired for several years and I no longer have it. What should I do for the passport # in Section 3?
Hello. Thanks for your question. Tick yes, in the number section write 'unknown' and in the white space nearby write 'Long expired passport, no longer in my possession'. This helps the officer know that you have passport history and hopefully speeds up the processing a little bit. Good luck with your application 👍
@@TheFormFiller Ok perfect 👌. Thanks for the quick reply!
For section 5 - how about health card or driving live I has been expired, can we still use them
Hi
I just want to know to renew the passport ,xan uncle aunt be the references as they are not living at the same address
Hi Vijay. Thanks for your question. As the uncle/aunt does not live at the same address as the applicant, they can be references! Good luck with your application 👍
@@TheFormFiller thank you for the quick response
QUESTION : SECTION 7 "ADDRESS LAST 2 YEARS" - HOW DO I PUT CURRENT ADDRESS "TO DATE" , CAN I LEAVE THE TO DATE EMPTY AS I CURRENTLY LIVE HERE ? THANKS

good job.
Hi, my company( worked 2 year) is taken over by other company( worked 6 months). Do I need to mention my new company information only or previous and current company information
HI Sushma, you should write down all work experience information for the past two years. It's best to provide more information than less. Good luck 👍
if i got my citizenship this year, do i need to fill section 4, part 2 or not. I am using canadian citizenship issued this year eventhough i am born during mentioned period.
Hello! I hope you can answer me!
I have a question regarding the signature, the signature has to be written or can it be virtual?
Hello, thanks for your question. Unfortunately at this time there is no option for an electronic signature. You have to still sign with a pen. Good luck with your application 👍
Hi i have question , can i fill everything out with my hand writing??
Hello. Yes, you certainly can fill in the form by hand. Good luck 👍
I have been working and will continue to work in different countries outside the US for maybe another year on top of 2018, (New Zealand and Australia). But I have a home address in the US, would I be able to apply for the Canadian passport to have it submitted to my home address in US while I am still abroad?
Hello! Thanks for your question! Please note that you must apply for the passport at the Embassy/High Commission that serves the jurisdiction you currently reside in. e.g if you apply in Australia the passport cannot be mailed to anywhere outside of Australia such as the USA. You can apply however in person and as long as you will pick up the new passport in person you may apply anywhere in the world. Have you also considered the 'Retention' service that is available? It may be the solution to your issue. Please let me know how it goes, all the best!
What if you worked and were in school at the same time for section 7B ? Can you overlap the dates on the form ?
Hi Robert. Thanks for your question. Yes! You certainly can overlap the dates! Good luck with your application 👍

My recommendations:
Gotya mate 🤣
thanks for video. question what about seasonal job would i wright each year i started and ended depending on how long i worked for that company?
Hello! Thanks for leaving a question. That's correct, you need to account for all periods of employment in the past 2 years. That's December 2016 to December 2018. You can also provide an additional sheet of paper if you run out of space on the form. But please do account for the two years and include any periods of study, unemployment or even travelling to ensure your application isn't rejected! All the very best :)
Am I allowed to leave sections that don't apply to me blank or do i need to type N/A in those sections? Also in section 5 where it says your name as it appears, do i write "Last Name, Given Name(s)"?
Yes N/A is acceptable. Best way to write your name is exactly like it appears in your form of ID. Good luck :)
Hi, I have a question
For the address part, do we have to add places while we were on vacation ? I was travelling most of the time but I haven't stayed anywhere for more than 5 months at once.
Hi Karthika. No need to put vacation addresses 👍
Thank you so much for replying. Amazing video it really helped me a lot
Hello, Thank you for such a well done and well explained video.
Ok, I am Canadian and live in Michigan as a "permanent resident alien" (my green card is the OLD one that does NOT need to be updated or renewed) anyways....
1. When providing Proof of my Nationality, will my Short Form Birth Certificate suffice? It's all I have regarding my Canadian info.
THEN....will my Michigan License also suffice for that second piece or for any other proof that maybe needed? (don't have a health card at all).
2. Lastly, I need an expedited passport, I know they cost much more and that is fine, I was planning on driving over to London Ont (my home town!) and plan to spend at least 2 nights, possibly more if need be and arrive, first thing on a Mon morning. (hoping to have passport, if completed properly by Tues or Wed 48 hour expedited time frame)
Any insights would be great, plus I don't mind heading home to London Ont and make a small trip out of it, show my kids where Dad is from. Thanks again.
Hi Flynn. Thanks for your kind words and your question. Yes, the original short form birth certificate will be fine. As long as the Michigan license is the original and is still valid that will be an acceptable form of ID. I'm aware that certain larger offices can issue 24hr rush passports such as Toronto. But I'm not familiar with the London, ON office. It may be wise to give them an email or call +18005676868 if possible and confirm before making plans to be on the safe side. Let me know how the application goes. All the best! :)

Hi there I have a question, can the same Guarantor sign two family members passport applications , my wife and my son ??
Absolutely
Thank you very much for taken the time to answer my question .
In section 7 when you put date to and from what would you put if it’s your current job or a future thing like school. Say my school ends in 2022 and I currently have the jobs that began more than 2 years ago?
Hi. Thanks for your question. You can put current jobs or school in the 'to' section as simply 'current' or 'present'. Remember you only need to account for the past two years, so for example right now it would be Feb 2017 to Feb 2019. All the best with your application! :)
If I have been travelling for the past 6 months (unemployed), what would I put as my address and phone number in section 7? or would i just right "unemployed" in the first box with the dates and leave the other boxes blank.
Hi Coco. Thanks for your question! 'Unemployed' and the date boxes are all that you need to complete! All the best :)
I hope you still answer here. The credit card information section, there is a grey box that says "for official use only" i accident wrote in it a bit, is that okay? also do I leave the white space blank?
Hi..thanks for this video I have a quick question my daughter she is 16 year 9 months old.she have only one government ID which is a health card from Canada bc .whole applications needs atleast 2 identity.please tell me what I do ??
Thank you so much for your informative video ! One question, for “Proof of Canadian Citizenship”, if the applicant is filling the form with a birth certificate, does the original Birth Certificate also need to be sent in with the other passport application documents? Or is filling in the information for the Birth Certificate only required?
Hello Daisy, thanks for your question. You'll have to complete the birth certificate information on the form and send the original birth certificate with your application. Good luck! :)
@@TheFormFiller Thank you so much, I fixed so many mistakes watching your video!!
In section 7. If a date started more then 2 years ago but ends less then 2 years ago, what do you put for the from date? Do you put a date 2 years prior? Do you but the very beginning date even if it is way before 2 years prior?
This is the first time I am ever applying for the canadian passport. I have completed the entire form except for Section 3, as I dont know whether the PR card is considered to be a canadian travel document. My PR card has expired and i was asked to cut it up at my oath ceremony. So how do i answer section 3? Should i click No, as i have never had the canadian passport before? Would really appreciate all the help i can get
Hello Sahil. Thank you for your question. Your PR card is not a travel document. Therefore you should tick no in section 3. Good luck with your application and congratulations on your citizenship.
@@TheFormFiller Thank you so much, i really appreciate it

Hi Sir, Wanted to say thankyou so much for making this video. I have one question- when i filled out my application it still shows red either circles or squares on text boxes and i have made sure all the info is correct. I am not getting any error but was just worried, like is it okay to submit the application? If you can please reply, I would really appreciate it.
Hi Mandy, glad the video helped you. As long as you are happy that you have completed all of the sections and ensure you sign with a pen once you have printed the application, you should be fine. I don't think the pdf version of this form from the government website is well constructed, so the red boxes could be coming up in error. Best of luck with your application.👍
@@TheFormFiller Awesome, Thankyou sir for taking the time to reply.
I have filled the form yesterday and checked it today, now those red boxes are gone :) Thankyou again :D
Thank you so much for the video, I actually got a query. I was born out side canada so in Canadian passport in place of birth can i just write the country’s name where i was born and not the city?
Hi. Thanks for your question. There is an option to do this, however along with the application form you need to complete and sign an additional form where you acknowledge that only the country will appear on your passport. To get this form, you need to contact your local passport office and request it. Good luck 👍
