Not especially, except inasmuch as it will make her passport last that much longer before she has to eventually renew it from the US.

Canada is in the process of transitioning from 5-year conventional passports to 10-year ePassports. A brand new conventional passport will continue to be usable and valid for it's entire lifespan, and the presence or absence of a chip won't make any real difference in how long it takes to get through an airport customs and immigration section, so no, it doesn't really matter.

DON'T PANIC

"It says wonderful things about the two countries [Canada and the US] that neither one feels itself being inundated by each other's immigrants."

My fiancee passport was about to expire and she simply applied for 10 year. Honestly I think she will get US passport sooner than 10 years.. so she might not be able to use her passport fully. .
