Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

[CaBeaver]

My bad ..used my daily office lingo. Basically means No timelines for completion of my passport request.

In your signature you say that you sent two update requests: March 2nd, and March 8th. Did you receive a response for either by now?

Credit card charged on March 12? Do they work on weekends? This is super fast!

Yeah. I was not super surprised because others here have mentioned that their cards were charged over the weekend. So it's not uncommon

Well, guys, my journey has finally come to an end. Here's my timeline:

Feb 28: Application delivered (to Ottawa)
Mar 12: CC charged by Kelowna BC office
Mar 16: Passport shipped from Kelowna BC
Citizenship certificate shipped from Mississauga ON
Mar 21: Canada Post delivery notices left in my mailbox
Passport and certificate picked up at post office (signature required)

I never contacted IRCC. I never submitted a status request. My guarantor/references were not contacted. Total processing time 3 weeks exactly (13 business days if you exclude shipping time). I got the shipping information from the delivery notices that were left on my mailbox today, not from IRCC.

If you guys follow IRCC's instructions to the letter and are patient, your application should be processed smoothly. Good luck to everyone who's still waiting! all the best.

Congrats. I believe it depends on the passport office. Probably BC doesn't have much load so they are faster

Hey Folks,

Here is my timeline so far.

Passport Application sent: March 2nd
Application delivered : March 3rd (Ottawa mailroom)
CC charged : TBA
Citizenship certificate returned : TBA
Passport received : TBA

I’ve sent couple of email enquires already but no response. I will call after 20 business days.

Quick question - are all the timelines above based on selecting the standard processing time? Or does this also apply to the expedited process where you can pay an extra $50?

Just wondering if you are a sucker for paying extra because they all take over a month anyway, or whether its worth paying the extra to make it get processed and mailed within a week.
