For newcomers to Canada, the process of getting a passport is usually tied to citizenship but one TikToker has shared why she's deserving of the document based off of experience alone.

TikToker Kate (@thenewcomercollective), who is a Brit in Canada, laid out the facts for her case while dancing in the snow.

"5 things that've happened to me that means I should have a Canadian passport," said the text on her video."Trudeau, where you at? I'm ready."

She then listed some uniquely Canunk scenarios she's found herself in.

"Got pooped on by a goose," was the first point on her list, which hey... at least it's meant to be good luck?

She also listed "drunk cried because BeaverTails was closed" and "caught a fish through a frozen lake" as other reasons why she should get a passport.

As well, Kate explains that taking part in making maple taffy is another reason.

The last point on her list is very valid: "Worn a red plaid shirt, Blundstone boots and drake a White Claw from a Yeti all at the same time," she wrote.

Over in the comments, people chimed in on other Canadian occurrences that are worthy of receiving a passport.

"Add drunken poutine binge and calling anything warmer than -15 balmy and you're in - that's the citizenship test," wrote one person.

"Nah you have to drink a Busch light from the yeti and then you’re a real Canadian," said another.

"I am Canadian and have not been pooped on by a Canadian goose yet so beat me there and have my stamp of approval. I will sign the petition," endorsed another person.

Best of luck on getting that passport, Kate!
