    Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

    DO NOT try to edit pdf and produce it to a govt agency like Service Canada because that constitutes fraud. Drop 20 bucks on a Greyhound ticket, reason for travel can be business/pleasure or whatever. Personally, I won't even worry about canceling that ticket as it's only 20 bucks but you can...

    Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

    Don't they have like 500+ callers in line at any given time? Lol. Your complaint is sadly going to fall on deaf ears. One thing which will end this chaos is June 30. That's the day "emergency" expires and Service Canada starts getting penalized for not meeting service standard. They will start...

    If you really want it that bad, go book a ticket from Toronto to Buffalo for 20 bucks and call the Passport Service. They will expedite it.

    https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/help-centre/general.html I don't think there is anyway to get it urgently other than walking in to a passport office.

    Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

    Call the 1800 number and choose emergency passport option. They work 7 days a week and you can get a passport same or next day. Be prepared to provide a good reason and to pay more than regular processing. Also, you don't need a passport to enter Canada if you return through a land border. Fly...

    There you go. Give it about 3 weeks roughly and your passport should be in your hands.

    Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

    So you are suggesting that somehow they are able to sort applications based on new citizens and purposely delay their applications. I am just trying to imagine how a policy like that can and would be drafted and also be implemented at such a scale especially with a liberal govt running the...

    Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

    Wonder why your calls would drop. They can clear 400 calls in about an hour, it's not really that big of a deal as conversations are short and quick. It's mostly impatient people who send their application and start calling who also know what the agent will tell them but they call anyways...

    Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

    Pretty much any airline allows full refund if canceled within 24 hrs of booking. Business class are fully refundable for the most part too. So if you book a flight ticket say 3 days ahead and apply for urgent passport and then cancel the ticket next day........ I mean it's not a bad idea. Lol

    Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

    CC is charged anywhere after 15-19 days of delivery and passport is received anywhere between 35-40 days from delivery. Leave it alone and don't call unless solid 4 weeks have passed or keep calling and keep stressing - choice is yours. Applications are not returned for failing to write name on...

    Traveling on Indian passport after receiving citizenship (Re-entry to Canada?)

    Hmm.. I still think flying through US is very much legit. US immigration acknowledges dual citizenship and has no problem with it and so does Canadian immigration. India doesn't acknowledge it so you show them you are an Indian citizen and that only. The only thing you are risking here is when...

    Traveling on Indian passport after receiving citizenship (Re-entry to Canada?)

    Haha. You fly with carry-on bags and pack it precisely not giving them any reason to open it. Put your Canadian passport in an RFID protected wallet. If you were referring to bags checked in from Canada to India through US that's not what I meant. I was saying you fly to like Chicago on a...

    Traveling on Indian passport after receiving citizenship (Re-entry to Canada?)

    Here's another scenario I am thinking of where the Indian passport can be kept along with Canadian for a few years. If you have a B1/B2 visa on your Indian passport, you can fly to India from the states and back and not have to produce Canadian passport to indian authorities at all. This could...

    Canadian citizenship certificate. If you read 4.B it will tell you it doesn't apply to you. Only one ID like a firearms license or driver's license, I have never seen a health card with a photo....
