Canadian Passport


My mom finally received her Canadian Passport today in the mail. Once again she is a dual Canadian-American. I only hope that the Canadians do not strip her citizenship from her like they did in the 1950s-1960s.
Now my sister and myself are waiting for our Canadian Citizenship Card which we applied for last March and were told it would take 12-15 months to get. I'm not sure why it takes them so long, but until they do we can't apply for our own Canadian Passports.
The Canadian Passport is only valid for 5 years (well 4 years and 6 months since most countries require a Passport to have 6 months validity to enter.) I have heard that in 2011 they will have biometric passports valid 10 years (like the United States currently has.)
Now my mom just has to remember to enter Canada on her Canadian Passport and the United States on her American Passport.
