I just renewed mine this week! Unfortunately, the process sucks!

1) The embassy is in Kuwait

2) Go to this web-site and print out the forms http://www.pptc.gc.ca/form/pdfs/pptc040.pdf (this is the correct form for adult renewal). There is a different one for children

3) You must go through the entire process as a new passport - have to have a guarantor (doctor, etc.) sign the form and the back of one passport photo. Your guarantor should be someone in Qatar (even if you've just started a file somewhere 2 years ago, the doctor will most likely sign for you)

4) Once you've got everything together (and make sure you include all original documents - if you can't, you'll need to get your guarantor to sign any copies confirming it's a true likeness of the original), you need to get a bank draft for the fees (the instructions are in the package)

4) Send everything by Aramex or other courier to Kuwait

If you have any questions, contact Kuwait directly - they will help you quickly - the passport lady (Zeine) is very, very nice and extremely helpful - she'll walk you through anything you don't understand. The address is: [email protected]

Any other questions, I'll be glad to help - just completed my eldest son's, and mine and my new-born's are on their way back to us (enshallah!)

You have to send your Passport to Canadian Embassy Kuwait which handles services for Qatar, along with application & fees,by DHL. You can get more information & down loads from canadian embassy website. Google it.
