nope, no call to guarantor/references

Hi everyone, I received our passports yesterday! Just updating my timeline here: Jan 26 mailed application for my and my spouses first Canadian passport Jan 31 shows delivered to Ottawa (I sent to Gatineau, but apparently this is common from what I've seen in this thread) Feb 15 CC charged...

Mine was similar situation. Agent told me my CC info was incorrect. I gave him the number over the phone, and I got charged ~15 minutes later! I did actually look at my application to verify and the CC number was indeed correct, but oh well. Glad that part is over

Hi all, Quick update: I filled in a status request online last week, and today was told to call them with CC handy. So called them up and they said my CC info was incorrect so I gave it to them and just got a charge now. He did tell me my application has not yet been looked at. Updating my...

I think I did, but only on mine and not my spouses. Hopefully it comes through. Next thing to watch out for I guess is when the CC is charged? thanks!

Well, that's worrying. I actually called passport canada to request an in-person application first. I told her I had a flight on the 14th, and she said that I had to mail it in as it wasn't "urgent" and that I would get my passports in time. I had my doubts as well, but she assured me it would...

Hi everyone. Just adding my info to the thread. Jan 26 mailed application for my and my spouses first Canadian passport Jan 31 shows delivered to Ottawa (I sent to Gatineau, but apparently this is common from what I've seen in this thread) Planning on travelling mid-March, hope they arrive...

Hi all. Just a head's up that you can update my info on the spreadsheet. Received our ceremony invitation on December 29th, and had the ceremony on January 13th! Thanks , and good luck all!

Hello, I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but my status can be updated in the spreadsheet. My application status and the language skills, prohibitions, and physical presence now show as "completed" as of Sept 9. So right now the dashboard shows everything completed except for citizenship...

Hello, I just checked my application status and the language skills, prohibitions, and physical presence now show as "completed" as of Sept 9. So right now the dashboard shows everything completed except for citizenship ceremony "not started". Not sure where this information goes on the...

Thanks for the detailed response. I guess this means I will NOT have a passport ready for holiday travel then. Fingers crossed things start speeding up!

I have a question somewhat related, but when can we go about getting a passport after all of this? Do we have to wait until the oath ceremony to apply for a passport? Is a passport included in the process since we had to send in passport photos? thanks!

Yup, sorry. Received invite email on August 4th. I took the test on the 6th, shows as complete on the 9th. Spouse took the test on the 13th, shows as completed on the 16th

Hello! Update from my end for family application from Vancouver. Scheduled for test Aug 6. Mine set to complete Aug 9. My spouse took it later and hers set to complete Aug16. Getting closer! Too bad we wont have citizenship for the elections :)

Another BC person chiming in. Same situation, still waiting for test invites

Thanks for clearing that up! Now to wait for the invitation for the test ;-)

Hi everyone. I'm just wondering now that we have this new application status website, does anyone who has NOT been invited for a test have language skills, physical presence, and prohibitions showing anything other than "in progress". My background verification is complete, though others seem...

I don't think this is typical. I submitted a spousal application, and they asked for my fingerprints but not for my wife's. No idea why! Still haven't gotten a test invite though, crossing fingers it will arrive soon as my passport is expiring in a week!

just wanted to say thanks! I contacted them and they confirmed reception of fingerprints in February. hopefully this didnt delay my application
