The Russians stamped my only remaining, empty page. This can be a problem as some countries require a completely blank page when issuing a visa.I realize I will need to get a new passport this summer although this one doesn't run out until August of 2017. I have found it is no longer possible to add pages to an existing passport. I got this document in August of 2012. My previous one expired a few months before Canada started offering 10-year passports. So, I paid for five years but will get only four out of it.
Getting a passport which will be valid until 2026 sounds great. Yet, a 10-year adult passport costs C$160 which doesn't sound so great.
