Federal Government of Canada recently made necessary changes to rules of passport with the intention of defending children below the age of 16 restricting the document from being misused.
Fundamental changes include providing more power to the
Canadian immigration minister that he can issue the passport without the necessity for an application or he can reject to issue the passport to a child if they think it is in the child’s genuine interest. The immigration minister is given the power to deny to issue a passport if they believe someone other than the bearer will use it.
Importance Given to Gender Neutrality
In the recent changes, the federal government of Canada from August 2017 executed gender neutrality on passports and other relevant documents of immigration. Transgenders can now register their gender with an ‘X.’
It has taken place only after the Canadian Human Rights Act was changed to add gender expression and gender identity to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination. The Government of Canada is working towards a ‘consistent federal approach’ when it appears to gender neutrality.
Contemporary Rules for Dual Citizens
Dual citizens need to make sure they are conscious of Canada’s new passport rules. Dual citizens now compulsory need a passport of Canada to fly into the country following the introduction of Canada’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) in the year 2016.
The rules of eTA made thousands of dual citizens to apply for a passport of Canada. Canadian missions in Australia, the UK, Germany, and France say that the increase in application numbers created processing times to multiply in some circumstances.
