What is a Canada Passport Renewal Form?

A Canada Passport Renewal Form is a document used in order to renew a resident of Canada’s passport for international and domestic travel by plane. The form can also be used to request a new passport, in the event that an old one was damaged or lost, while also cutting down on the amount of time that would normally be spent to apply for and obtain a new passport.
