Renewing a Philippine passport in Canada costs CAD$ 93.00 at the Consulate General in Toronto, and unlike London it cannot be done by walking in.
The published fees
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| ePassport | CAD$ 93.00 |
| Replacement of a lost valid ePassport | CAD$ 232.50 |
| Replacement of a lost expired passport | CAD$ 139.50 |
| Affidavit of Loss | CAD$ 38.75 |
| Travel document | CAD$ 46.50 |
Losing a valid passport costs CAD$ 93.50 more than losing an expired one, CAD$ 232.50 against CAD$ 139.50. Add the Affidavit of Loss at CAD$ 38.75 and a lost valid ePassport reaches CAD$ 271.25, close to 3 times an ordinary renewal.
The four posts in Canada
| Post | City |
|---|---|
| Embassy | Ottawa |
| Consulate General | Toronto |
| Consulate General | Vancouver |
| Consulate General | Calgary |
The fees above are Toronto’s published schedule. Check your own post before travelling, since each publishes its own.
The fees are the same across Canada
Toronto and Vancouver publish identical passport figures, which means this is a national schedule rather than a local one. Vancouver dates its version effective 26 February 2025.
| Service | Toronto | Vancouver |
|---|---|---|
| New passport or renewal | CAD$ 93.00 | CAD 93.00 |
| Travel document | CAD$ 46.50 | CAD 46.50 |
| Replacement of a lost brown, green or maroon passport | CAD$ 139.50 | CAD 139.50 |
| Replacement of a lost ePassport | CAD$ 232.50 | CAD 232.50 |
| Affidavit of lost or mutilated passport | CAD$ 38.75 | CAD 38.75 |
So the post you use changes the queue, not the price.
What else Vancouver publishes
Its schedule goes further than Toronto’s passport page, and these rates are worth knowing wherever in Canada you are:
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Notarization: jurat, acknowledgment, authentication or certification | CAD 38.75 |
| Civil registration: report of birth, marriage or death | CAD 38.75 |
| NBI | CAD 38.75 |
| Other certifications | CAD 38.75 |
| Expedite fee | CAD 15.50 |
| Petition for correction of a clerical error in civil registry documents | CAD 77.50 |
| Retention or reacquisition of citizenship, adult principal | CAD 77.50 |
| Retention or reacquisition, dependent | CAD 38.75 |
A flat CAD 38.75 covers most counter services, and the expedite fee is a modest CAD 15.50, unlike Rome, where expediting is not available for passports at all.
The Video Conference Hearing service
Vancouver publishes something no other post on this site does: a Video Conference Hearing (VCH) facility, for Philippine court proceedings attended from Canada.
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Certification | CAD 38.75 |
| Expedite fee | CAD 15.50 |
| Use of venue and administration fee | CAD 670.00 |
That CAD 670.00 is the single largest consular charge published by any post covered on this site. It is a venue and administration fee rather than a document fee, and it is worth knowing before assuming a remote hearing is the cheap option.
Booking
| Rule | What the Consulate states |
|---|---|
| Personal appearance | Required for all passport applicants |
| Where to book | passport.gov.ph |
| Allocation | First come, first served |
| Price of a slot | FREE |
| Transferability | NON-TRANSFERABLE |
| Email address | Must be valid, active and accessible; for passport appointments a Gmail or Yahoo address is required |
| What arrives | A successful booking generates an application, emailed to that address |
Slots are free. The Consulate says so in capitals, which is what agencies do when people are being charged for something that costs nothing.
The 24-hour rebooking rule
This is the detail that differs from every other post covered on this site.
| Step | Rule |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cancel your old appointment schedule |
| 2 | Wait 24 hours |
| 3 | Then secure a new slot |
| If you double-book anyway | The earliest booking is cancelled; only the latest date is retained |
Booking a backup slot before releasing the first one does not give you two chances. It costs you the earlier one.
How Canada compares with the other posts
| Post | Appointment | Notable rule |
|---|---|---|
| Toronto | Required, via passport.gov.ph | Cancel, then wait 24 hours to rebook |
| London | No appointment, walk in 9:30am to 4:30pm | No photocopier on site |
| Canberra | Slots open monthly | Gmail or Yahoo required |
| Dubai | Required; walk-ins not accepted | - |
| Hong Kong | See the post’s own rules | - |
| Singapore | See the post’s own rules | - |
The Gmail-or-Yahoo requirement appears at Toronto and Canberra, so it is not a local quirk. It is how the DFA appointment system behaves.
The standing rules about the passport
- The Philippine passport is at all times the property of the Republic of the Philippines, and must be surrendered on demand.
- Alteration, addition or destruction of contents is strictly prohibited, and any unauthorised change renders the passport invalid with penalties.
- Using the passport as collateral is against the law.
Incorrect or inaccurate information supplied through the appointment system may result in suspension or rejection of the application.
Other fee schedules Toronto publishes
Passports are one of five schedules the Consulate maintains: dual citizenship, notarial, civil registry and visa fees are published separately. This page does not reproduce them.
Dual citizenship is worth flagging for Canada specifically. It draws 3,140 searches a month there.
Dual citizenship, since Canada searches for it heavily
Toronto publishes a separate dual citizenship fee schedule, and the demand is real: 3,140 searches a month in Canada for dual citizenship, against 27,190 in the United States, 7,150 in the United Kingdom and 2,370 in Australia.
Retention or reacquisition runs under RA 9225, and the documents it produces: an Identification Certificate, an Oath of Allegiance, or an Order of Approval, are exactly what other posts ask for on a passport application. The UK guide lists all three as accepted proof for anyone who reacquired or retained Filipino citizenship.
Planning around the document clocks
Everything you order from the Philippines has an expiry, and they are shorter than most people expect.
| Item | Clock |
|---|---|
| PSA viewable online copy | 60 days |
| National Police Clearance validity | 6 months |
| Police clearance non-appearance window | 3 years from the last appearance |
| NBI clearance delivery, NCR | 5 working days |
| NBI clearance delivery, outside NCR | 7 to 10 working days |
| OEC validity | 60 days, single exit |
| OWWA membership | To contract end, or 2 years |
| Rebooking wait after cancelling, Toronto | 24 hours |
A PSA certificate ordered too early lapses before the appointment. Ordering it 60 days out at the most, and allowing 10 working days if it is being delivered outside NCR, is the sequence that works.
What the Philippine-side paperwork costs
| Item | Published fee | Clock |
|---|---|---|
| PSA birth certificate, viewable online | ₱130.00 | Valid 60 days |
| PSA marriage certificate | ₱130.00 | Valid 60 days |
| PSA CENOMAR | ₱185.00 | Valid 60 days |
| NBI clearance, collected | ₱160.00 all-in | - |
| NBI clearance, delivered in NCR | ₱200.00 | 5 working days |
| NBI clearance, delivered outside NCR | ₱350.00 | 7 to 10 working days |
| NBI clearance from abroad | - | The overseas route |
| National Police Clearance | ₱150.00 | Valid 6 months |
| Travel tax, economy | ₱1,620.00 | On departure |
| Travel tax, OFW | ₱0.00 | Exempt under PD 1183 |
| OWWA membership | USD $25.00 | To contract end or 2 years |
What this page does not cover
The Consulate does not publish, on the pages read for this guide, a processing time from appointment to release, the documentary requirements for renewal, minor applications, courier or mail-back options, outreach mission dates, or the fee schedules of the Ottawa, Vancouver and Calgary posts. None of those are stated here.

- No. The Consulate states slots are FREE and NON-TRANSFERABLE. Anyone selling one is not operating with the Consulate's sanction.
- What email address do I need?
