Canadians can renew passports online; eligibility has a catch

Renewing a Canadian passport has never exactly been a fun errand. Between the lineups, the paperwork, and the trips to a government office, most people put it off as long as humanly possible. That just changed (sort of). As of April 16, all eligible Canadians can now renew their passport entirely online through a new government service. However, eligibility is currently limited to specific categories, meaning not all Canadians can use the service yet.
