It seems so many people apply for passport outside Canada. As there is no existing thread of timelines. Can we share our timelines and office/countries processing the passport.


Applied for mine on March 13th, from the UK.

My timeline won't be accurate as I applied last year when there was the whole passport fiasco and mine took 9.5 weeks. So I'm guessing things have sped up considerably since then.

Hopefully, yes.
I'm entering the 3rd week now. Yet to receive mine.

If you don't mind, may I ask why you relocated to the UK after living in Canada? For work?
Professional training. Will return to Canada once I am done.

So from what I understand, after passing through all these steps, I can apply to get a passport from a random country Canada embassy? And get it in 1-2 weeks time?

Is this recommendable?

Yes you can apply outside Canada with your Citizenship certificate. Service standard is 20 working days, similar to mail in application inside Canada.
