Canadian Passport, ID Cards & Driver’s License: Your Essential Guide
A Canadian passport is a highly valued travel document, offering extensive visa-free access to numerous countries worldwide. It serves as primary proof of Canadian citizenship for international travel.

For domestic identification, a Canadian driver’s license is the most common photo ID, also authorizing driving privileges. Provinces and territories also issue provincial ID cards (photo cards) for non-drivers, providing official proof of identity for various services. New residents can typically use their foreign license for a limited period before applying for a Canadian one, often involving written and practical tests.
