Congratulations to you, too! It was a long journey.

I don’t think so, at least I didn’t hear anything from my references and my guarantor. I called Passport Services myself last week (Feb 15) they said they would finalise my passport next (this) week and would mail it then. I don’t know if my call helped to speed it up or if they would have done...

My wait is finally over! Got my passport and the certificate delivered to my home address together in one envelope from Canada Post Xpress this afternoon. The whole process took 5 weeks, and 3 weeks since they charged my credit card. Here is my timeline: Jan 16: Sent documents to Gatineau Jan...

It’s been a while for you.. Hopefully you will get it soon. When I called them this week, they said they would most likely finalise and send it back to me next week. It will take a few business days to get delivered, so I guess I should wait 2 more weeks or so.

My CC was charged on Feb 4. I called them on Feb 15, my passport was still not ready. So I guess it depends, some people, who applied after me, already got their passports, some are waiting longer than me.

You can use any courier service or Canada Post. When you complete the application you will find the page with addresses, there is one for courier services and one for Canada Post, depending on the province where you live. I don’t know about family applications, but it might be also indicated in...

Check it on the official website canada.ca, they keep changing the rules depending on the situation with Covid. I don’t know how it is in Montreal, but in Toronto I couldn’t apply in-person 2 weeks ago due to my file not being urgent.

They may not call the guarantor at all, they require to have one, but they rarely call them. My card was charged exactly 2 weeks after they received my file. Since my case is not urgent, I can’t tell you how fast it may be for you. Hopefully fast enough for your trip.

Got my credit card charged today by Varennes 2 Gatineau. Application mailed on Jan 16 and delivered on Jan 20. Card charged exactly 2 weeks after.

If your card got charged, doesn’t it mean that they received your application and everything’s fine? I didn’t know we had to follow up with them until I read this thread. Now I’m wondering how long I should wait before contacting them if my card hasn’t been charged yet..

Thank you for sharing. I sent my application on Jan 16 to Gatineau and the Canada Post tracker also shows that it’s been delivered to Ottawa.. It makes sense now, that their tracker is not accurate.

Had my Oath on Dec 31. They said they would mail the certificate on the same day, Dec 31. Case closed in the online tracker on January 3. Received my certificate today, January 11. My case was in Scarborough office. Hope everyone receives their certificate soon!

Can take a couple of days or a couple of months- all depends on how fast your local office is

Got my Oath details emailed to me today, December 22. Oath is scheduled for Dec 31, so the email was received a little more than a week before the ceremony.

I think you should be fine. I had a “do you want to restart your computer?” pop-up window during my test. I was also worried it could be a problem but it wasn’t. You will know for sure once they update your tracker to “test completed”

People say it depends on how many attendees there are, something between 1-3h
