    I’m no Canadian passport connoisseur but when were they red? My old one from 10 years ago is blue so I’m not sure what that’s about?

      I was wondering, if it’s perhaps relatively common between nations for passports to be red, but from some very quick image searching that doesn’t really seem to be the case:

      • US blue
      • UK blue
      • France red
      • Germany red
      • Spain red
      • India blue
      • China red
      • Brazil blue

        But they said it wasn’t red. So one would question when they were.

        I think I get it. They are expecting the passport to be red like the flag.

    At that size of a passport, in an international emergency, you could use your passport as a shelter or flotation device … is it also bullet proof?

      The U.S. bulletproof model was proposed for school children. Sadly, Republicans successfully fought against it, because it “Would give the kids an unfair advantage over the school shooters.”
