Do you know any location they're issuing the new version for sure? I heard about Laval, QC.
Service Canada Centre and Passport Services Orleans is the only one I've read about in this same thread that is issuing the new one, though it seems to be inconsistent. I read about another location, can't remember exactly where, but I think it was it in BC

Anybody find out if the Scarborough location is printing new ones? Mailing an application to Orleans is kind of a shot in the dark :(
Thanks for all the research, @MatQue !

I applied Monday 21st from Vancouver sinclair office and picked it up today Friday (express). Got the new one, was hoping for the old but on closer look the new ones is very cool and the bio page is hard cover plastic which is nice. Also in person it looks much much better than the preview they showed on the news.

I don't know about Scarborough. I decided to apply at 74 Victoria location. Should be ready to pick up September 08th. I was really looking forward to get the "maple leaf one", but all I got was mismatched information.

If I knew it, I would have sent my application to this Vancouver office, although it looks like applications by mail can be sent for just 3 locations: Gatineau, Halifax and Mississauga.

Mississauga is hit or miss? From Toronto, can drive by to apply in person for new one?

Também sou brasileiro. Me disseram mesmo que em Laval estavam emitindo os novos. Gostou do design do novo? Dizem que ao vivo e em cores é lindo! Queria muito ele, mas aqui em Toronto estão emitindo só o antigo, por enquanto.

I meant that application by mail can not be sent to a preferred location, just to Gatineau, Halifax and Mississauga. If you want the new one, I wanted it too, you will need to travel to Laval, Vancouver, Ottawa, location where the "maple leaf one" is being printed etc...

Achei muito bonito ! Ainda mais bonito que as imagens online. Fiquei muito contente. Ouvi que em Ottawa também estão imprimindo o novo. Talvez você possa enviar seu pedido pelo correio ?

We are all here talking about the new passport. Submitted my application 27 of February, 2023 and became citizen 25 of July.
Yours was really quick. I submitted 2 February and have my oath on September 27. I would love to get the new passport too, even if I have to travel hundreds of kilometers. It is that important to me.
