And their money smells like maple syrup

Jealous! I'm seeing this as we're pushing back from the gate at Pierre Trudeau Airport in Montreal ?
fennecbutt
As a kiwi I still think my passport is the best looking and most functional. I mean silver on black, that just screams premium
Kamchatkah
Is it hard to become a Canadian?
Mallococcis
Aw heck yes! Canada for the win and glorious colors! :D
Yufer
I had no idea my passport could do that.
Bananasandwiches42
US passport features are super boring compared to this! I’m jealous.
ZuSanLiHeGu
They advertise Canada in Mexico all the time.
poochyena
I like the US passport too. I wish our money had our landscapes and monuments on display like our passport does. Less idolizing people pls.
CannotBeBanned
They're called security features. All passports have them.
michaelfire
B/c an English discovered Canada? Where's the Viking longship?
YesButMaybe
C, eh. N, eh. D, eh. I miss visiting Canada. Maybe I should get my passport.
BillHubbard
Have you seen the post-Brexit British passport? It screams misery so much the EU is setting up special rules to keep us out. Rightly so btw.
Jayboots
Security reasons.

As a Canadian with a passport and a bluelight I just went and checked. Every page has hidden images on it, very pretty to look at
goboltz
Because they were Cold & had to stay inside until like March, And were Bored . . And Sorry I'm Sure ! 1 question, where's the Dam Moose eh'
TheBretters
Considering so many states in my country want to kill me I might as well just go
RocketKokket
Woah cool I never saw mine under black light before I didn't know it looked like this
emenelopee
Neat! Now do a hotel room.
BarryTheBrit
It looks like a Jackson Pollock painting in here…
itypewerdsonline
Fhant
Sure! I'll find a just opened hotel then!
DoTheDartman
Ew!

Yeah....speaking as an American, this is not the best reason to become Canadian.
psmith00
TIL about one of my passports security features. Cool.

Fun fact: the statue is holding the astrolabe upside down. Whoops! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%ACwek%C3%AC_Point
AuntieCoddswaddle
Real talk. What's the market like for a software engineer and a psychologist? Which city is most queer and bipoc friendly?
AzothTheGuildRat
Probably Toronto or Vancouver
RagnartheCat
there's a letter from the queen in the front of Canadian passports saying she will personally fuck up anyone that tries to mess with me
zeacorzeppelin10
USA is really lackluster.

After inspecting my passport with a UV lamp most of the images look like the hype tint sequences in 2001: A space Odyssey. Still boring.
AxelBeingCivil
We're in the middle of a major healthcare crisis and people keep electing the Tories who caused it, it kinda sucks right now.
donthaveonebrojustlurk
Yet it's Trudeau who is blocking increased federal spending, including in provinces with NDP governments.....
AxelBeingCivil
Not so much. Trudeau has agreed to provide increased funding. He just also wants some strings attached in the form of new metrics and in (1)
AxelBeingCivil
guarantees that the funding will go where it's supposed to. That's not really unreasonable in light of Ford getting billions of federal (2)
AxelBeingCivil
dollars during the pandemic to boost the healthcare system, refusing, and now trying to introduce two-tier healthcare in violation of (3)
AxelBeingCivil
federal law. (4)
TimmyTimm
The biggest reason is to make the passport harder to forge. Canada just does it artistically.
theworldcouldbeflat
Yeah but it's still the most forged passport ever.
CarlottaVonSprockett
Also artistic: their visas. I live there for a few years, and my visa paper had such beautiful art on it.
SIGMA920
Yep. Newer paper money will often have anti-counterfeit measures similar to this on them.
BarryTheBrit
It started in euro notes a few decades ago but not as cool as this. Usually just small stars
putcleverusernamehere
Ya. They're trying to keep the riff-raff south of the border from crossing illegally (source: riff-raff)
Jayboots
We need a fence or something to keep the south of the border riff-raff out.
AzothTheGuildRat
Don't worry, the USA will pay for it!

The Belgian passport has comics characters in it: https://youtu.be/XiexwlLvvyk

Here in Finland, our passports have this moose flip-book animation in it:
gobblinal
How *DARE* you steal our Moose icon!!!
Crocadiah
Some collector is going to get "in trouble" for trying to buy a Canadian passport
ayavaska
Went ok in Argo
squirreltactics
What if they're expired?
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
You're allowed to keep expired passports, but they punch through them in a very obvious manner rendering them useless for travel.
poochyena
but the comment was about collectors, not travelers.
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
Collectors can't do shit with blatantly voided credentials, so there's no conflict in having others' passports if you can't use it as ID.
WinchesterTavern
We got UV stuff in Norwegian ones as well!
DrBukkakeShots69
We get it. Y’all vape
IcyLucario
Super cool.
GTimgur
Neat!
hotrodny
W00t?? I am a norwegian and I didn't know. Is that only on the newest passports? How far back?
WinchesterTavern
Only the new. They came in October 2020 I think.

What can I say. I have a simple mind and I like shiny colours.
realGeorgelucas
Aurora Borealis? At this time of day? At this time of year? Located entirely within your passport?!
pixelsnader
Yes.
realGeorgelucas
May I see?
pixelsnader
No.
Gogoglovitch
Yes! *hands you a blacklight*
Flamingnub
You really want to hand anyone on this thirsty site a blacklight?
