Estimated passport delivery date is May 27th but my card hasn’t been charged and it’s a holiday Monday today. I’m not going to receive my passport this Friday right? lol
I applied on March 11th at a Canada Services Centre in Calgary and was supposed to receive it by April 19th. I've received nothing so far.

Hello all, My oath is scheduled for June 1. I'm travelling to US for work on 16th of June (flight tickets are already booked for this travel). How do I go about this situation? assuming that i'll receive my citizenship certificate in 7-8 days after Oath, will I be able to get a passport that fast? or will I have to cancel my tickets and postpone my trip? I'll have to inform my boss soon on this, any feedback is appreciated.

You can get passport in 2 days. Although you may have to stand in queue for long hours.

There is no guarantee of getting citizenship certificate in 7-8 days. You will have to request fast processing. Most people got it in 5-10 days after requesting, but they don't commit.

I see, how do I request for fast processing? would i be doing it during the oath?

Yes, request them during the oath & also mention in email that you send after oath (& attach copy of ticket as well).

Mississauga Passport office? any recent experiences with a Walk-in (Travel 3-25 business days)
Yes, my spouse applied couple of weeks back. Only walkin is allowed & they are accepting 150 applicants. I think those who reached there before 6:30 AM were able to apply.

I applied at a Service Canada office in Manitoba, on April 29th, then promptly got a new job requiring travel in Early June. Phoned yesterday to see if they'd transfer. Took 144 tries to get the proper queue, then I was at 168 on the call list. Got through, and local Winnipeg office called me today. They asked for travel proof, have no ticket yet, but new company letter was sent as well as travel request. Hopefully that's enough, If not, I'll have the ticket in hand shortly.

ANyway, other than having to call 144 times to get into the queue, the process was relatively painless. hope the last bit is too!

Hi,
I went to a Service Canada to apply for my passport on April 7th and I havent received it yet obviously. I called last week to transfer my file to a local office for urgent pick up but the agent told me its not guaranteed... Do you believe if I line up in a service canada passport center I can get it processed quickly? Would they accept to cancel the previous application and start an express based on my trip? I have a trip coming June 5th and I cannot miss it.
