The first time that an employee applies for a Canada pass, a signing authority must submit, on company letter head, justification as to why the employee requires the Canada Pass, which locations they will be travelling to, how often and what duties they will be performing.

The employee must submit a Canada Pass application along with the letter of justification to the Pass Office for review and approval.

Canada Pass renewals only require the Canada Pass application form as long as the Transport Canada Security clearance is valid.
