Yes, i posted earlier that i have received a call from PP office to update reference yesterday. After updating, they are going to send for printing and i should receive PP in 5-10 business days at max.

CC charged on 7 march. How about u?
Great! Congrats to you. Nothing as yet for me. I wonder what's going on. Tried sending status request but no response. Calling is absurd as there are always millions of people queued up ahead of me.

Did anybody tried walking in any Service Canada office for passport application recently?
I did apply via mail-in. However, the day before yesterday I went to Service Canada office in my city for another purpose, I saw some people just walked in (without appointment). The security guy just asked if they wanted to wait until they have a spare lot (after they clear off those with appointment). Some waited and were accepted after 1-2 hours. It could vary from each Service Canada office.

hi All,

has in person appointments started now for passport, given the mask mandates and restrictions getting lifted ?
It looks like it. But appointments may take a while. Like in 20 or so days if you are willing to wait. Otherwise, you might be able to walk-in but again you have to wait 1-2 hours.

Is CC charge an indication everything is OK? My application was sent about 3 weeks ago, and still no CC charge :rolleyes: I saw people who applied with or after me getting their CC charged already. I wonder if this is a cause of worry

My application was received by Passport office on Feb 08, still no CC has been charged.

Did you had guarantor or you got statutory deceleration form from notary? (In my view that could only be the reason as I have called them several time for the reason and they told me every application is different)?

Some people get their credit card charged 4-5 weeks after and everything is fine
