Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

[Ani_Canada]

1) Expresspost. You will either have to call them/fill out the contact form online to get the tracking number.

2) You can send in the same envelope but clipped separately with the different documents.

Thanks for your response.

I read somewhere , they send via normal post. But if they send via expresspost , then it will be safe.

2) You can send in the same envelope but clipped separately with the different documents.

OK Good as we do at other places.

Thanks again..!!!

After you take the oath when they send you your citizenship certificate, that is via normal post. That's how I got mine last year.

The passport office sent me my certificate back this year via expresspost. Good luck!

Hey @ALEX-UK and @O'canada, congrats on the swift passports. I thought it's taking 60+ days these days, like it says on their website, but glad to know it's a lot faster. Could you please share a little more info, like-

1) Which city did you apply from for the passport?

2) Did your guarantor get a call from the passport office?

Hi @CCAI2021 Thank you very much
1) Applied from Ottawa
2) I didn't check with them about the call

Is it like a letter size envelope in your box or an A4 size envelope handed to you by Canada Post personnel at the door? Also, how long did it take to receive it after oath ?

Can apply for passport before receiving the certificate , what have to mention on the application specific to that ? The requirements for first time application requires proof of citizenship this what is saying on the web site !
