British Passport Info
Im British living in Canada for 30 years and my daughter (born in Canada) is wanting to apply for her British passport.
Both our passport need to be sent to Ottawa to process within 10 weeks.
My question is... if I need to return to England because of my ailing Mother, how am I to travel without my passport?
Can left Canada without my passport?
Any info would be helpful
Thanks

Re: British Passport Info
Ottawa? All UK passports are done in Washington now
Youve been here how long and havent bothered with Canadian citizenship? A Cdn passport would have been the obvious solution.
As it is, if the worst happens you would need to use the UK expedited / emergency procedures to get some sort of document. but it probably wont come to that...

Re: British Passport Info
Do you have a current PR card?
Generally returning UK permanent residents can get by without a PR card at a pinch when returning to Canada from the UK with only their passports, but you might be pushing your luck trying to return to Canada after an emergency trip to the UK with neither a Passport or a PR card...
If you have a PR card then that not an issue...

Re: British Passport Info
You can apply for an emergency travel document at your nearest consulate. Consulates or consular offices are located in Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. If you need to renew your own passport you now do that through the consulate in Washington. You can download all the information from Ottawa http://ukincanada.fco.gov.uk The cost for a 32 page passport is $211 plus $33 courier fee. Pay by Visa or Mastercard.

Your daughter does NOT need your passport to apply for a British passport yourself. Think about it - if you didn't have a British passport (lots of British citizens don't), she wouldn't be able to send one off.
She does need a copy of your birth certificate and (in some cases) your marriage certificate.
