Philippine Passport Renewal

 

Before renewing your Philippine Passport, you may consider getting a driver’s license or any provincial or photo ID in Canada. Then, get the permanent resident (PR) card if you are already eligible.

It is advisable for every Filipino to have a valid passport which can always serve as a valid ID. (You may also consider getting a driver’s license or provincial ID) until you receive your permanent resident (PR) card.
