Not really. It just means it hasn't been approved yet. I got under examination update 2 weeks after submitting my application, and received my passport at the 8th week.
on 8th week, they didn't even reply to inquiry
on March 25 received that my application is under examination, after that no answers to inquiries

Passport application delivered on March 24 by mail and cc charged April 21. No update after that. I was expecting to get the passport by now.
Does anyone know how long it takes to get the passport after cc charged?

There is no timeline for this, it's pretty random (ie, having your credit card charged doesn't automatically mean you will receive your passport shortly after). From what others are saying it's taking about eight weeks to get a passport right now, though I am in my ninth and nothing.

Thanks for the response. It is a bit frustrating that there is no way to track what is happening.

If your trip is important, call and ask for file transfer. There is no other option. Walking in at a local office probably won't solve your issue. Did you call them recently about the status of your file? When did you apply? It takes 8 weeks to receive the passport these days. If you are no where near this, I'd suggest to call and ask for file transfer.
Hey thanks for your reply. Yeah, I called in to get the file transferred however the agent said it's only a request. So I thought going into the office would someone speed things up since they can pull the file up.

I applied on March 14th. The thing that upsets me is the fact the agent knew my travel date and she told me it will be mailed out on time. Had i not called on the day it was suppose to be delivered and waited longer I would be in a worst situation.

My timeline is nearly identical to yours. I'm an Ontario applicant. Application recieved in Ottawa/Gatineau on March 23rd and CC charged on April 20th.


Sent two status requests that weren't answered. Tried calling but the automated message says we have very high call volume and hangs up.
