How do I apply for a Canadian passport from outside Canada?
If you're in the US, you have to mail your application to Gatineau in Canada or travel to Canada and submit your application in person. Canadian government offices in the US don't provide regular passport services. If you're outside Canada and the US, you can usually submit your application to the nearest Canadian government office. Contact the closest office for more details. The forms are on Passport Canada's website depending on your situation (adult, child, lost, etc.). Be careful with the photos, they're pretty different from all other passport photos (you cannot smile). Another option would be to submit your application inside Canada. The fees are cheaper ($70 less for a five-year passport and $100 less for a ten-year passport).
