An article in La Presse on November 23, 2024, found on average one Canadian passport is lost per day (1.1/day). Passports are sent by registered mail through Canada Post (when no labour disruptions).

Moreover, through an Order Paper Question (Q-2954), an MP requested information on privacy breaches for all departments of the Government of Canada.
