I had the similar issue, over the phone everytime same response it's under review but they didn't tell me that if their is an issue. Went in person as my travel date was coming closer. The lady told me that their is an issue with my credit card info that's why my file is just sitting there but no body call me. Then she made me to do the payment at there office and give me slip to pickup my passport after a week.

I am very confuse as was it a expedite processing or regular processing?
Did they send you the tracking info before sending your passport?
DId they send all of teh docs onto your mailing address or residential address?

Wow, that is fast. I see you mailed it in (regular processing) - but did you provide proof of travel or did you just mention travel dates on the form?
It was a regular processing application, no tracking info sent before passport received. Our mailing and residential address is the same.
Yes, we’re quite surprised too. No proof of travel, just the travel dates on the form. My travel date is the same and my credit card was charged earlier but somehow his application seems to have been processed really fast.
Did he do anything to help you with your passport!!
I sent them an email today I’m hoping they will help my husband it’s been 5 months since he apply to renewal his Refugee travel document
It's been over 40 days for me credit card charged after 4 days of my application delivery and after the credit card charges nothing happened no certificate received
Hi everyone, I mailed in my passport from BC to the PO Box 4000 STN LCD 3 Mississauga ON L5K 0A9 address. They received it on Aug 29th, but my credit card hasn't been charged and I've received no news! Starting to get worried because it seems like everyone sent their application to the Gatineau address. Has anyone done the same as me and gotten news? Thank you!
You sent it not that long ago, you have to wait, they dont charge your card right away...
Why did you send it to Missisauga though? As per canada.ca website, this Mississauga address is only for non-courier mail but they also specifically advise to better send via courier mail to Gatineau...
just picked up my passport at the post office.
Applied in person at service Canada on May 19 , no travel date , no urgency.
Almost exactly 17 weeks plus mailing time .

Wow. I applied on July 5 or thereabouts. So I guess I should get mine middle of November
We all (3 family members) applied together for the passport and mailed it on Jun 23.
Application received - Jun 27, 2022
CC Charged - Jul 18, 2022
My wife and son received their passports on Sep 9, 2022, but still waiting for Canadian citizenship certificates.
I received my Canadian Citizenship certificate on July 27, 2022, but still waiting for my passport.
I called passport customer service to check about my passport and they told me that it's under approval process and I have to wait until Oct 2022.
This is very strange that we all applied together but mine is still under process.

Hi everyone, I had a quick question regarding the passport application. I have a few questions for anyone in a similar situation:
Section 1:
Mother's surname at birth: if I was adopted and don't know my birth mother's surname, what do I put for this? do I use my adoptive mother's surname?
Section 2:
Guarantor: just wanted to confirm, can this be a relative, like an aunt or uncle?
Section 7:
For employment section, if I am still working for the employer currently what do you put as end date? can you leave this blank since I don't have a end date as of now?
Thanks in advance for any help with these.
