Children, including newborns, can not be listed on a parent's passport, and must have their own Canadian passport. A separate passport application must be submitted for each child.
A standard adult passport is valid for 5 years as are passports for children aged 3 to 15. For children under 3 years old, the maximum validity of a passport is 3 years.
As passport applications take longer to process during peak times, Passport Canada suggests that you try to apply for your passport during the off-peak season between June and November.
