Passport and Citizenship Immigration Canada

passport: One government source told CBC/Radio-Canada there are concerns that passports produced under the new system could wind up in the wrong hands, according to CBC. Planned passport change opens door to fraud, forgery Harper pledges $10M for terror research Internal reports warn these problems endanger the security of the Canadian passport. Internal records from Citizenship and Immigration Canada reveal the processing program was rushed into operation on May 9, 2015, despite dire warnings from senior officials that it was not ready and could present new security risks. Since the launch of the new system, officials have been scrambling to fix hundreds of glitches and seal security gaps. Those recommendations were ignored, and the passports continue to be issued in the first phase of production under the new system, designed to enhance security and integrate with other global programs. Weeks after the new process was brought on line, there were calls to stop production. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
