  The New Canadian Biometric Passport
  username	 September 3, 2021 November 9, 2020 no Comments
  The Canadian passport transition will be occurring in early 2011, and understandably for Canadians living as U.S. residents, it's a changing standard that creates curiosity and even perhaps a bit of concern. We wanted to dedicate a post to creating some awareness about what a biometric passport is, and to explain some of the differences versus what is currently being issued from Passport Canada.
  How does this pertain to Canadians living as U.S. residents? The adherence to correct photo standards will be more important than before as there will be effectively two images on newly issued Canadian passports once the preliminary phase of ePassport is rolled out. Rejection rates for Canadians living in the United States currently sits at more than 50% of the applications and renewals received from the U.S., mostly as a result of improperly produced passport pictures.
