I applied on Feb 19th for express pick up, still its showing as processing
Update on passport
Picked up my passport from downtown location
Design - New
Status on Canada.ca - Processing It
Applied on - Feb 19th
Issue Date as per passport - Feb 20th

Looks like Canada.ca doesn't provide correct status, if you applied for Express or urgent you can visit the next day for pick up.

Hello Eeveryone

I applied on Feb 13 at the North York office (Toronto), they told me that my passport will be ready in 10 days and it is going to be mailed out to my address on Feb 27; however, I still have not received my passport and the status is still we are processing...
I called them and they told me my application is approved but not printed out. I do not know what to do. I do not have any estimation date and not sure until when I should wait :(
Anyone had similar experience?

Hey, congrats! QQ - Did you get any message to pick it up for today or they had mentioned it before to come on this date for pick up ?

Hello I have two questions.
  • Can the passport form only be signed and dated after you receive the e certificate. It took about 4 days before mine was available
  • Is it a problem if the guarantor dates the application before mine. For example the put the date as 22nd and I put mine as 26
But your e-certificate should have a date and that should be the day when you took oath. So I think any day after that is fine. Shouldn't matter when it was available.
Normally guarantor is expected to sign after you have completed your application. So ideally put same date as guarantor if not an earlier date.

No updates on the passport application status tracker. When I submitted my application with express pickup, the rep gave me a date 2 days from submission date but there was no update on the passport status tracker. I just went to check up on the status and to my surprise my passport was already printed and was ready for pick up.

Can I use my husband's nephew and niece who are not living with us at the same address as references?
You're good to go: "anyone else who’s related to you or your spouse or common-law partner by blood, marriage, common-law partnership, adoption or guardianship and lives at the same address as you. For example, if your aunt, uncle or cousin lives with you, they cannot be a reference.'

Hi,
I applied at the Victoria St passport office February 21th. They told me to come pick it up March 6th but when I check my application on the tracker online it still says : We have received your application and are now processing it

Is this normal. They basically only have 2 more days to print it.

Should I still go try to pick it up the 6th even if the status doesn't change?
