Canadians waiting anxiously for their passports to arrive before a trip abroad now have a new option to check the status of their applications.
The federal government launched a new online portal on Tuesday that allows recent applicants to see where their applications stand.
Passport offices became overwhelmed with applications last year as the government began to ease pandemic-related travel restrictions. The result was a backlog that hobbled the application system.
Karina Gould, the minister responsible for government services, announced in January that the backlog had been virtually eliminated.
