Sincerely I cannot wait for all this to be over including passport collection. At some point, I wanted to reach our to CTV news as it was almost 24months already.
With the opening up of the province and employees returning back to office from March/April, I am sure things should move faster than the regular timelines. I'm also hoping to ask for expedited service for the passport irrespective of the cost. The wait of two years out weighs the price differential for me and just want to get it over with.
Thanks everyone, together we shall beat this.
