The photo in my son's passport is from when he was six months old, and he's two now. His eye colour isn't even the same (they were blue until he was about 10 months old and they're green now). No questions there.
No one properly trained in identifying imposters and fraudulent documents cares about eye colour. However, if you do think this could pose a problem when travelling abroad, Passport Canada will issue a replacement passport free of charge, valid for the balance of the validity period of the original passport. You just need to complete an application and send in up-to-date photographs.

Actually, that's not what the passport office told me. They will reissue it during the first year, but you have to pay again after that, unless that policy has recently changed.
We'll just wait for it to get closer to expiry and get a new one then for him.

Children who have been issued a passport in their first 12 months may be issued a one-time replacement passport, free of charge, valid for the balance of the three-year validity period of the original passport. Full application requirements must be met. To ensure the photo is a current and true likeness of the child, it must be taken within one month of the date the application is submitted.

Oh good! That means either the passport office told me the wrong thing or they recently changed it. We will probably do that for him then before we go to Scotland in June.
