1 Remove any jewelry from the general area of the wound so if the area swells, the jewelry will not affect blood flow. 2  Apply steady, direct pressure and elevate the area for a full 15 minutes. 3  Use a clock-15 minutes can seem like a long time. 4  Resist the urge to peek after a few minutes to see whether bleeding has stopped. If blood soaks through the cloth, apply another one without lifting the first. 2  If there is an object in the wound, apply pressure around the object, not directly over it. 3  If moderate to severe bleeding has not slowed or stopped, continue direct pressure while getting help. 4  Do not use a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.
Without the fee increases, Passport Canada would not be able to maintain current operations, let alone offer security-enhanced travel documents, the agency says. New regulations posted this week confirm the cost of a five-year passport will increase to $120 from $87. And starting in July 2013, a 10-year passport will also be offered at a cost of $160.
We are not forecasting any change to passport fees to cover revolving fund requirements at this time, Caron said. The cost for a five-year passport increased to $120 from $87 last year, while a new 10-year passport was introduced at a cost of $160. Approximately 4.9 million passports were issued in 2013-2014, which government records suggest is down slightly from the year before. In 2012-2013, passport fees on 5.1 million passports brought in $312.5 million at a cost of $333.5 million to the government. When the fee increases were introduced, Passport Canada said they were essential.
