Hey all - anyone know what recent wait times are like for walk in applicants at any of the specialized GTA passport offices (Downtown, Scarborough, Brampton etc.). Is it still insanely busy where you have to line up super early in the morning?

Did you go to the downtown passport office or a service centre? Sounds like the Victoria street downtown passport office? Was there a long line up for walk ins? I’ve heard people start lining up from the night before.

Thanks! I got the reply from the officer that they sent the request in error and I don't need to provide the police certificate...phew

Hey all - I'm an Aug 2021 applicant, gave the test in March 2022, BG check was completed in Dec 2021. I received an email today saying police certificate is missing on my file and to provide it within 30 days. However, I did not spend more than 183 days in a row outside Canada in the past 4...

Return tracker activated finally! Should be getting my passport sometime today or tomorrow!

Return tracker finally got updated, showing the item was processed in Ottawa yesterday at 18:57! Almost there!

No update today :(

Hey did your tracker get updated today?

Nope, My passport reached Ottawa on May 1st but my return tracker still hasn't been activated as yet. Might start panicking by tomorrow if it still doesn't get activated. Gotta travel in 9 days time.

Mine was received on 1st May but the return tracker still hasn't been activated. Hopefully, sometime today it will be.

Ecas updated to decision made today!! Sent my passport earlier today by express post and it should reach Ottawa tomorrow! Good luck to everyone else on here!

Hey guys, I got my Passport request yesterday and today ecas updated to decision made! I applied in September so the process took less than 8 months! I came to Canada almost 6 years ago at the age of 18 and did not send any police certificates with my application nor did I get asked for one...

Hey everyone, I just got my passport request a few minutes ago! My ecas still says in process and medical results didn't get updated either. I have to fly out of the country on the 17th of May, hopefully I should get my passport back by then if I send it tomorrow. Planning to do my landing when...

Congrats that was quite fast after the medical! Where did you get your medical done in Calgary?

The X-ray lab is right next to Dr. Sandhu's office, you can just walk in and get it done. But yes there are a few other places you can get it done from as well, it doesn't matter. I got mine done from the downtown CORE a couple days after my medical because I was in a hurry after my medical.

She is located in the Sunridge Professional Center in the Northeast. Her clinic is in the basement. I had an appointment for 2:10 but I had to wait almost half an hour longer since there were already a few people there before me. In the meanwhile, they took my photo and asked me to make the...

Hey Toby do you know what the issue date on the PR card (or whatever else it's called) refers to? Is this the date your visa is stamped or the day you actually land? I'm trying to figure out from what date do they start counting the days towards citizenship once you get your PR. Thanks!

Hi I have completed my medicals as of 12th April from Dr. Parminder Sandhu in Calgary and paid RPRF on 8th April. Hopefully should get the passport request by the end of the month! Fingers crossed!

I just received the RPRF request and my ecas has changed to In Process as of March 27th. Toby, please update the spreadsheet. Thanks!
