I just phoned Service Canada - Passport Services

As per the agent, my passport and CDN cert were both mailed out yesterday, May 31, 2021, in two separate packages.

He gave me the tracking # for both. When I tracked in Canada Post, they are still in transit expected to arrive in 1 to 3 days.

Almost there......
Great. Best of luck. Are you living in GTA? Just trying to gauge how long it is taking mail for GTA deliveries.

Going by your timelines, I should have tracking details tomorrow (my credit card was charged on 31 May). I would probably call again just to see if I get some update.

Hi hi*marty,

did you receive any email from them regarding tracking no? I haven't got mine yet. Thanks.
Nope, nothing! Just arrived in the mail today. TBH, I wasn't expecting it yet because they just charged card on Friday.

Great. Awesome. When was your credit card charged?

I just spoke to customer service and informed that credit card was charged yesterday and I need tracking number, if available. I was told to call in a weeks time. My understanding is that once the card is charged the pasaport goes to printing and mailed out in a day or two (just like your case).

I am fine to wait. I mean, I don't have a Charter plane yet waiting for me at the airport..
Last Friday

Mine was charged yesterday. Called today and was told to call next week ( I am not comfortable with the response as it was too generic and my personal details weren't asked). I am calling again tomorrow as passports are mailed out within 2 busines days of credit card charge.

Suggest you follow up tomorrow or day after.

Question: should the delivery show, delivered to address in Ottawa or Quebec? Anyone who sent it from GTA?
Hey, I did send mine to Gatineau and delivery showed Ottawa - that's why I panicked. It's just 9 kilometers away over the bridge. All is good... and I already got my citizenship certificate back yesterday.
