I have heard that the IRCC, working with ESDC, has been working on the ePassport Next Generation Project since 2017, and such project would develop a more secure next generation Canadian passport that is redesigned and uses polycarbonate infographic page. However, although your public report stated that such project would be implemented by March 2023, it is still not implemented as of the time of this request (Apr 2023). As such, I would like your department, and if possible, ESDC, to provide me with the progress of such ePassport Next Generation Project, the current projected deployment date of such project (i.e. when the next version of passport would become available for applicants inside Canada, and for applicants applying at a Canadian office abroad), the planned application fees changes (if any), and the sample design of such new version of passport (if available). Remove materials that are an account of a possible or actual Cabinet confidence.
