Update on new Canadian 10 year passport option

This was supposed to be introduced in 2012

Pending parliamentary review and completion of the regulatory process, the new fee structure and the 10-year ePassport should come into effect in 2013. The new fees will not take effect until the adoption of the ePassport is complete, and the option of 5- or 10-year validity is offered to adult passport applicants. At this time, it is too early to provide the exact date when the 10-year ePassport and accompanying new fees will become available, other than to say that it will likely be in the spring of 2013.
