I think this makes a convincing argument for having, and obtaining for one's children, the passport of one's home country as well as that of Canada.

It's also a convincing argument for the Islamic State to create its own passports :lol:

I'm guessing they won't get visa-free travel to many countries...

Nevermind that, I have yet another opportunity to do that same sort of work in that same place, possibly for more money now. Lemme know if you've run out of work...

What makes you think I'm not amazingly busy right now ???

Re: Passport seized

I found this article from September but can't find much on the process or what is required under the rules/law.

"Under the Passport Order, the minister has the power to refuse or revoke a passport if he believes such action is necessary to protect the national security of Canada or any other country."

Revoking ISIS passports: Government refuses to disclose numbers - Politics - CBC News

Looking at MY GF's passport, all it says is Property of the Government of Canada, doesn't say anything else, but I would assume since it belongs to the government, that the government can seize or cancel it.

My US passport clearly says inside it belongs to the US Government and must be surrendered on demand by an authorized representative of the US government.

Re: Passport seized

The minister has to believe. That's probably all there is to it !!

I'm curious as to how many passports have been seized/revoked in this way. The reasons are secret. Even the numbers of passports revoked are secret.

Assuming the home country doesn't cancel their passport as well.
