How do I get a white passport for the US and Canada?

You can get a Canadian white passport by losing your regular blue passport. A white passport is a temporary passport issued to Canadian citizens outside Canada who require passports but their regular passport application is being processed. It must be exchanged for a regular blue passport at your earliest convenience. Canadian passports are issued in a variety of colours depending on who is carrying them. Navy passports are issued to citizens for occasional travel, such as vacations and business trips, red passports are issued to diplomats, and green passports are issued to people representing the Canadian government on official business, including Members of Parliament, provincial cabinet members, public servants, and Canadian Forces members who are posted abroad. An American white passport is not really a passport, and is not really white, it is a permit to reenter the country if you are out of it for too long. American permanent residents can leave the US for up to one year without risking losing their permanent resident status. A white passport allows them to enter the country again after they have been out of the country for up to two years instead, prolonging the time by an additional year. It isnt really white, It is a passport-like booklet with a blue-green cover with the words "TRAVEL DOCUMENT" on the front. The US passport has seen several changes in colour, from red to green and now blue. Countries can issue passports in any colour they want, and while white passports are rare, they do exist. An Indian white passport is issued to government officials traveling out of the country on business. The new Norwegian passports are particularly colourful, and if you shine the passports pages under ultraviolet light, the Northern Lights will appear as iridescent trails on the paper. Norway issues white passports to immigrants. Canadian passports can also be quite colourful if you illuminate them under ultraviolet light. This is an anti-counterfeiting measure.
