Canadian passports don't show mass or height. The bottom edge of the data page has 2 lines of what I take to be meant as machine-readable. They give date of birth in YYMMDD form, sex, passport number. nationality and some numbers that I can't decipher. Joseph B.Reid 17 Glebe Road West Toronto M5P 1C8 TEL. 416-486-6071
