I called the PO first thing and they had it, so I couldn't wait and walked over and got it.

If you don’t mind me asking.. what’s the issuing authority on your passport?

Nope, they provided me with a tracking number and was not a generic response.

It was Edmonton, which is who also charged my CC.

hmm I believed before covid they also were taking your thumb fingerprint to better secure your biometric passport?

So that means that all those passport issued remotely might be a little worse than regular one (pre-covid).
