Do you think sending a reminder will piss them off ?

Hi all,

I sent my passport last Friday on 29-11-2013. I was just wondering, if you guys could provide me with average processing time for issuing visa.

Thanks and good luck to everyone.

i SAW THE BELOW INFORMATION UNDER APPLICATION PROCESS TIMES FOR PASSPORTS IS IT TRUE THAT WE CAN APPLY IN PERSON TOO?

Non-Canadian in Canada
The processing time for a travel document application is 20 business days. This 20-day period only starts once we have received a complete and accurate application and does not include postal delivery time.

Processing times may change depending on the volume of applications received and are not guaranteed. Complexity of routine verifications and security checks leads to longer processing times.

Urgent and express service
For urgent or express service, you must apply in person at the Passport office located at:

Place du Centre, Commercial Level 2
200 Promenade du Portage
Gatineau, QC
The table below shows the expedited processing services. In addition to the passport fee, these additional fees will apply.

Expedited services available for non-Canadians applying in person Service Additional fee Processing time
Urgent pick-up C$110 24 hours
Express pick-up C$50 2 to 9 business days
Standard pick-up C$20 10 business days

Proof of travel is required for urgent pick-up service; it may also be requested for express pick-up service. Some examples of proof of travel are: an airline, bus or train ticket; a travel itinerary showing proof of payment; or a written statement, if traveling by car (acceptance is at the discretion of the Passport Officer).

Travel document is not same as visa stamping . Unfortunately , the below does not apply for visa stamping . Travel document is something in lieu of your pr card.

I'm afraid there is no set processing time for this.

All you can do is check the spreadsheet of this thread. Average time is 20 days. It can be more or less.

I hope you get your passport back before holidays! All the best .
