Yes u can, but its faster for the passport office staff if u fill it on the computer and print it
It then has a qr code easily scannable for them….
But filling a form with pen is ok too

Was trying to find but was obviously not looking at the right place. I am going to Walk-in and see how that goes. Thanks for your reply.
Some people just want to judge people on what questions they are asking. Last I checked nobody assigned them as Gatekeepers of this forum for what one can or cannot ask. One may be genuinely confused or lost due to too much info / threads on this forum. If you dont like the question, ignore and move on , nobody is forcing you to reply !

Hi people!
As I promised one week ago, it’s time to share my experience with Canadian passport office, 74 Victoria Str , Toronto.
Today I picked up in person my passport and I saw that the office had prepared the passport one day before, 8 November 2022.
I gone in person to downtown Toronto last week; 4 November 2022( without appointment), waiting my turn for 2 hours and paying for an express procedure 210$. May be you asking me: - Did you show a proof of travel?-
- No! I only explained that I am travelling to do my teeth because in Canada that procedure cost a lot, but I do not have a ticket yet!-
The official didn’t say nothing, only got my application + 2 photos + asked for OHIP Card ( makes a copy) + certificate of citizenship. I payed for express service and she chose the day 9 November 2022 to pick up( same building). Believe me; official doesn’t care for guarantor or reference. Nobody called them, asking for me. It’s only to fill the application,99% nobody is going to call your guarantor or references.
please, Don’t go to Service Canada , the fastest service is ONLY Passport Office, pick up service not by post office pick up.
-I gone 4 November ( Friday)
-Saturday & Sunday is close 5,6 November)
-Monday, Tuesday printing my passport (7,8 November )
- Wednesday day 9 November, my passport was ready
Wow that is quick ! Thanks for sharing your experience and timeline and Congratulations on your passport ! I will go to the same location then at 74 Victoria St. I was really struggling to find a guarantor but finally someone confirmed to me today they can be my guarantor so hopefully the process will be smooth now !
Ok, now I’m telling what to do:
- you don’t need an appointment
- don’t need to go too early, I gone around 12:30 pm
- Go 3 floor . First ; the clerk is going to check your documents and giving you a number , and see the monitor check your number
- When your number will be called , go to the reception desk. Pay 20$ more for standard to pick up in person/ same building, right side, 3 floor
- Pay 50$ more for express service ( they made mine passport for 2 days)
- Don’t go to service Canada
- don’t send by mail , you going to waste time
- I’m not lying . Don’t forget office close 4 pm .
Good Luck !
Haha ! Love it ! I am going to direct everyone in Toronto looking to apply for passport to this post of yours !
That’s my experience! Asked for express service, no proof for emergency, asked it to repair my teeth, but no ticket of aeroplane
Moment of payment the official gave me the day to pick up. The day was stamped on the receipt
Today I gone to pick up, in the passport I found out that was printed one day before
I am glad it was a smooth experience for you. I am going to post mine too once I apply, hopefully it will be useful for someone. Lets see how it goes.
Good luck my friend!
And something else; official never called my guarantor + references. My application was express service done in 2 days, 160$+ 50$ = 210$
