Check your inbox, I got back to you. Best of lucks!

I think it was luck! He said someone would call me within the next 2 days, yet someone called me within minutes. Maybe they are faster for urgent processing, since that means you need a passport (not an appointment) within 2 days.

I was in the same boat as you, and I changed it to the city. For type of document, I typed "driver's licence" (I filled it out electronically). For other surnames, I did write N/A. And yes, I went to the Harry Hays building. They run like a well-oiled machine!

Hey, so you just need to go here to request an appointment: eServiceCanada Service Request Form - E-service Canada.ca You do not need to call them since you don't need a passport within the next 2 days, so the online form will be sufficient for you. You would only need to mail your application...

Hey there, urgent processing lets you pick up your passport the next business day, so you have lots of time if you go that way. It is more expensive, but I think it's worth the peace of mind! You can only make an appointment if you need a passport in the next 3 days, so if you try to make it...

Sorry y'all, forgot to update the thread! So I was able to make an appointment at the passport office the same day I received my certificate for the following day. It was an urgent application, so I handed in my documents and they called my guarantor and references right away. Then I was able to...

Hey, were you able to get your passport? I had my oath on Dec 14 and just got my certificate today. Hoping to request an urgent passport to make a flight I have on Saturday. I think they only do that at the Harry Hays building, but I'm not too sure.

This may be a long shot, but has anyone had to request an urgent passport in Calgary lately? If I am reading the website right, only Harry Hays does urgent processing, but someone had mentioned that the office down south can expedite passports. I need urgent processing, though, not expedited. If...

Hi all, I just checked the mail, and I finally received my certificate of citizenship! It took 3 weeks and a day, despite my requests to have it expedited. Oh well. Now to see if I can manage to get a passport by Friday so I can make my flight this time. My best wishes to those of you still...

Congratulations! My oath was also on the 14th in Calgary, so hopefully I receive my certificate today! Fingers crossed...

Congrats!! My oath was also on the 14th. I really hope I get my certificate this week, but we'll see...

Yes, I told two officers during the oath and sent proof of my travel when I sent the signed form. Hopefully it's not as slow for you. I suspect the holidays got in the way of my process, but things *should* be back to normal at IRCC as of Tuesday. And yes, they really need to look into pick-up...

I'm in the same situation as you. My oath was also on the 14th and I haven't received the certificate. It baffles me that they can't be digital in this day and age. I already rescheduled my Christmas trip for my birthday (Jan 13), but now I'm not sure I'll even be able to make that... When will...

It concerns me that your passport application was urgent and it still took almost a week for you to get your passport o.O I was hoping to be able to make a trip on Jan 8, but now I'm not so sure....

That's pretty fast! Mine took 8 days to show as Complete. I wonder how long it'll be for my certificate :\
