Due to the labour disruption, passport delivery is currently limited to clients in humanitarian or emergency situations. These services are only available at specialized passport sites and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis: https://ircc.canada.ca//english/passport/map/map.asp

Humanitarian and emergency situations include:
• passport clients at risk of financial hardship
• passport clients who rely on travel as a source of employment, and their income security will be jeopardized
• passport clients who must travel for medical reasons or have had a death or illness in the family
• passport clients whose situation is deemed urgent on compassionate grounds

Passport applications that do not meet these criteria will not be processed when employees are striking. For more information, visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports.html
