Canada has issued a new passport with many more than wonderful features, in addition to advanced security features, as the Canadian passport ranks 4th globally on the list of the most powerful passports in the world.
Canadian passport holders receive countless benefits, the most prominent of which is of course the ability to enter more than 170 countries around the world without a visa.
New design for the new Canadian passport
The new passport in Canada includes a very distinctive design in addition to advanced security features. The passport contains laser engravings instead of traditional ink for the personal data of the passport holder.
The new Canadian passport also includes pictures related to nature in Canada on the pages of the passport, but they only appear using ultraviolet light.
Change the outer cover of the Canadian passport
The outer cover of the Canadian passport has also been changed, for the first time in decades, and it also includes the merging of the golden coat of arms with the maple leaves that are famous in Canada.
However, the color of the outer cover of the passport was maintained, and the new design of the Canadian passport was recently introduced.
The new passport represents Canadian national identity
The newly issued Canadian passport is more than just a document that allows one to travel. A statement made by the Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship stated that it is a symbol of our national identity and values.
“It is a reminder of Canada's beauty and diversity, and reflects the country's commitment to welcoming people from all over the world,” said the politician.
Not only does the new travel document make reference to the British royal family, but it also makes reference to Canada's position within the British Commonwealth. On the other hand, because the design process is so time-consuming, the crest of Queen Elizabeth II will be displayed on the passport rather than the crest of King Charles III, who was just recently crowned.
As the fourth most powerful passport in the world, the Canadian passport is considered to be among the most secure passports in the world. More than 170 countries do not require Canadians to obtain a visa in order to enter.
