The purpose of the Canadian Passport Application Form is to provide individuals who are citizens of Canada or eligible to become citizens with a formal process to apply for a Canadian passport. The application form collects personal information, such as name, address, date of birth, citizenship status, and other relevant details necessary to verify the applicant's identity and eligibility for a Canadian passport. The information gathered in the application form is used by the Passport Program of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to issue Canadian passports as well as to maintain records and ensure the security and integrity of the passport system.
