Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines
- Thread starter zam7
- Start date
I am updating my timeline. Briefly, it is:
Application sent, Apr 22.
2nd call, Aug 15: I clarified my application. The officer, now that I learned, did NOT actually take note and put it on my file. I was in the dark, and I waited for 20 business days aka 1 month.
3rd call, Sep 1: This officer saw no issue. Sure, because the previous officer didn't do anything!
4th call, Sep 15: This officer asked me for the same clarifications from Aug 15. Now he knows his colleague didn't do anything, and put things on my file during the call. He's telling me to wait for another month.
I'll expect it in Oct instead of today, one month from now. I'll probably call again to see if anything is missing. Sep 19, Sep 30, and Oct 10 are all holidays, btw.
Who among you from April are still waiting?

Is there a way to track the passport application similar to Citizenship application?
i asked for transfer request 3 weeks ago that i need passport on sept 16 ( travel date is 24 oct but need 5weeks for visa application).
Till now i didn't receive any call, so i called call centre and she told me that my transfer request goes through but she doesn't know when they will call me. and she mentioned that transfer request was for 24 sept not for 16sept.
but 24 sept would be too late for me. Now i don't know what to do.
Should i go and line up tomorrow ??
Any suggestions??

Hi:
I will be applying for my passport soon. I plan to travel internationally on a trip in December. Can I apply for an express passport? or does my travel need to be an emergency?

I applied by mail 10 days ago. My credit card was charged yesterday and today one of my references was called. I'm very surprised how quick this is going. Keeping my fingers crossed for fast processing.
18 weeks to the day, and it finally arrived! This saga is finally over!
I was at passport office today and what i notice is that they prioritize people by there travel date. If you are travelling in dec then you will be at least priority (if you have to get visa to travel then mention it) but they will submit your application and tell you when you will be getting your passport not like mailing applications where you don't know anything.
