Your place of birth must be provided on the application form.
You may request that your place of birth does not appear in the passport. However, if you chose to do so, note that:
Place of birth is mandatory for entry to some countries. You should contact the consulate or embassy of every country you plan to visit to ensure that you will be allowed entry if your passport does not indicate your place of birth.
You may have difficulty obtaining a visa.
You may experience delays at border crossings.
It is your responsibility to verify requirements before travelling.
If you do not want your place of birth to appear in the passport, you must complete and submit with your application a “Request for a Canadian passport without place of birth”.
