US Edition800 jobs to be cut at the passport office across Canada
- Employment and Social Development Canada announced that approximately 800 jobs will be cut at Service Canada's passport offices across Canada by the end of June 2025.
- The job reductions respond to a forecasted decline in passport applications for 2025-26, requiring alignment of workforce levels to expected demand.
- Since April 1, Service Canada has met its processing goals for nearly all passport applications completed, while continuously adjusting staffing to address evolving client demands.
- In an email sent Friday night, a representative from ESDC emphasized that the decision was carefully considered and necessary as part of efforts to manage costs and recover expenses.
- These job cuts mark the second federal public service reduction this week and reflect the government’s commitment to capping employment and improving spending productivity.
