    Short answer no.

    Long answer:

    Everything you need to know about Canadian passports is here:

    http://www.pptc.gc.ca/index.aspx?lang=e

    As to your question...

    Proof of Canadian citizenship

    If you were born in Canada, you must provide an original of either:

    * a Canadian birth certificate (issued in Canada by the province or territory of your birth), or
    * a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship.

    Since November 26, 2001, only the following identity documents are accepted as proof of Canadian citizenship for Canadians born in the Province of Quebec.

    * a birth certificate issued after January 1, 1994, by le Directeur de l'état civil in the Province of Quebec
    * a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship


    Now IN ADDITION TO PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP YOU NEED PROOF OF IDENTITY

    Documents to support identity

    At least ONE document to support your identity and the name to appear in the passport must be submitted with your application form. Further documentation may be required. For a child, only the proof of Canadian citizenship is required.

    Documentation to support your identity must be issued by a federal, provincial or municipal authority, must be valid and must include the bearer's name and signature. For example:

    * Provincial driver's licence
    * Provincial health care card
    * Other provincial identification card
    * Certificate of Indian Status
    * Firearms Licence - Possession - Acquisition
    * Old Age Security card
    * Other federal identification card
    * Federal, provincial or municipal employee identification card
