The passport is still fully inact, all the stamps and visas are still visible, the photo/info page is still undamaged and easy to read and see. So the question is, will Passport Canada consider this a "damaged" passport? If so that is going to mean going through the intial application process again so I am really hoping for some good news here.  |
My daughter managed to dump water on me wife's new passport, not much, but was certainly noticable. I suspect it was less damage than washing. It will be considered a damaged passport. If in Calgary go to the South passort office, near McLeod and Canyon Meadows. I have had nothing but great customer service at that location.
