Privacy Notice Statement
J
All personal information provided on this application form is collected by Passport Program, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)
for the purpose of determining entitlement of the applicant to a Canadian passport and to provide information to the Consular Operations
Bureau of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada in the event that the passport holder requires assistance while travelling
abroad. In the performance of those services, personal information is collected, used and disclosed under the authority of the Canadian
Passport Order and in accordance with the Privacy Act and any other federal laws, regulations and policies applicable to the protection of
personal information, as described in Personal Information Bank PPTC PPD 102 (Regular and Official Travel Passports). In the context
of the delivery of passport services, CIC and other federal government institutions or Government of Canada offices abroad assisting in
the delivery of passport services may exchange personal information. In addition, in determining current and ongoing entitlement and to
maintain the integrity of the Passport Program, all personal information collected is subject to verification and security queries to
authenticate identity and citizenship, as well as to identify the existence of grounds for refusal to issue a passport, the revocation of a
currently valid passport or the refusal of passport services. In the same context, the guarantor's personal information is also subject to
verification and security queries to determine whether the individual meets the guarantor requirements. Personal information may be
disclosed to third party entities, such as law enforcement authorities and identity document issuing institutions, for verification and
security queries required in the delivery of passport services. Personal information may also be disclosed by third party entities to CIC or
other federal government institutions or Government of Canada offices abroad for those same purposes. To strengthen the security of the
Canadian passport, CIC uses facial recognition technology. Also, an electronic chip is inserted into the booklet. The chip contains, in
electronic format, the photo of the bearer and the personal information found on page 2 of the booklet. CIC may contact the applicant/
passport holder to solicit feedback about passport services.
