@smithy2024 I have received my passport. Got delivered today. Any movement with yours?
Amazing! I still have not yet. Did you receive any email prior to delivery? or did it just arrive? Thanks!

No, the tracker changed to 'we have mailed your passport' and they left a tracking number to track the mail
Managed to call the passport line today, they said passports had been printed but not picked up by canada post yet. We are now on the 26th business day since applying.
Just applied today at a Passport office in person. Got the reference number. Lets see how long it takes.
Hi everyone, just got our Citizenship and we want to apply for Passport. Just a couple questions because I’m a little lost.
1- For those who applied in-person for regular service, I see that many got it within 2-3 weeks. Did you have to pay any extra fees to get it thag fast? (How much did you pay?)
2- Also what day/time is best to go? Would it be too busy in the afternoon?
3- What is the fastest location near Milton/Mississuaga
Thanks! Appreciate it!

I applied in person at the Passport Office on Queenston road, Hamilton today. Overall, it was a hassle-free experience. Went in without an appointment at 9 AM and was out of the office by 10 AM.
1 - Typical service standard is 10 to 20 business days for processing + additional time required for the mail delivery.
You can opt for Express pickup (2 - 9 business days) for $50 or Urgent pickup (next business day) for $110 if you need it faster.
2 - You can check the link below for estimated wait times for an office near your location

Click on the link "Check office details and walk-in wait times" for each office.
3 - Click on the link "Delivery by mail" for each office for the service standards.
Reached out to 800 number, agent let us know that passport is approved for both me n my kid and expected to be sent out for mailing shortly - Asked us to track it on website. Hoping we get it next week.
I took my oath yesterday and got my citizenship e-certificate within 6 hours, and today I went to the Mississauga passport office (Central Parkway Mall) and was able to submit a passport application for a family of 4 members. This is a completely unexpected trip for me. This office always has a 2-3 hour wait time, so I was prepared and went around 1 PM, and I was the last person (super happy; otherwise, I lost hope and was ready to come back next week) whom they allowed to enter at 3:58 PM EST, and within 10 minutes I was out with reference numbers for all 4 applications.
They were offering appointments for Service Canada's nearby locations and also re-newal applicants; they put them in separate lines, and they were much quicker.
If you are planning to go to the to the Mississauga office, then consider 3–4 hours of overall time; prefer to go between Tuesday to Thursday for slightly less time.

Thank you so much! Are you going to pick it up or will they mail it to you? And did they say how long it will take?
