|---|---|
| Online | Available to all eligible adult Canadians in Canada as of July 28, 2026; generally for people who need the passport in 20 business days or more. |
| In person | 10 or 20 business days depending on location; faster express and urgent services are available at qualifying offices. |
| By mail | 20 business days plus mailing time. |
| Child passport | A child passport cannot be renewed using the adult renewal process; a new child passport application is required each time. |

Where foreign passport renewal fits
A foreign citizen living in Canada does not renew their home-country passport through Passport Canada. The application is handled by the country that issued the passport, usually through its embassy, consulate or an authorized service provider.
- India: follow the current Government of India/Indian mission instructions and any officially designated service provider.
- United States: follow the current U.S. Department of State and U.S. mission instructions for passport services in Canada.
- United Kingdom: follow the current UK government passport-service instructions for applicants in Canada.
- Australia: follow the current Australian government/mission instructions for passport services in Canada.
No universal Canadian-status rule: Canadian PR status, a work permit, study permit or visitor status may be relevant to a particular foreign passport service, but it is not a universal Canadian requirement for every foreign nationality.
