Applied for passport on August 4 (Mississauga - Burnhamthorpe office with regular pickup service for $20). 3 hour wait outside and inside the building.

Scheduled pick up date was August 21.

Passport was printed on August 12.

I was able to pick it up today - August 16. No line for pickup.

The person at the counter said I was early. I told him the tracker shows it's already been printed. He checked the system and it showed it was ready for pickup. So he went to the room in the back and got it for me. I'm honestly impressed with the service!

The passport is in the old format.

Did you guys receive any receipt or estimated date for the passport pickup when you went in person? When I went they told me to come back in exactly two weeks and gave me a receipt with the pick up date printed on it
Yes, my receipt had a pick-up date indicated.

Hello guys,

Just wanna know if anyone applied for passport in Montreal or near received the new passport?

Thank you guys
In general for those who wants the new passport: This is your last chance to get the old design, you will get the new design or a newer design upon renewal in 5 or 10 years. And the new design is not as classic anyways. Just saying :)
