Canadian Passport in person timeline

[canvis2006]

Applied in person at Mississauga in July 21, 2022. Just called the hotline and it is still "under examination".

truly pathetic 3rd class service.
People still waiting fir months yet they changed processing times as if its normal.

why the need to show proof of travel? Why can’t they open it to everyone instead of forced lineups and lineup at 6am???

Congrats! How did you come to know that your processing office was Gatineau even though you applied at a different Service Canada?

I went for In Person on Oct 19. The agent said I can Pick up my passport on Nov 5.
I told her I need it before Oct-27 and I have a tickets for the travel date.
She said you have to apply for Express and It will be 50$ more and pick up date changed to something early.

So if you go for In-person it will be around 2 weeks at present.
Hope this helps.

Hey @BreakingBad which passport office did you go to? Was it a walk in? How long are the expected wait times? Would appreciate if you can provide this information, thanks

I submitted my passport application 14 business days ago in a regular Service Canada center and requested a status check online 2 days ago, I'll let you know when/if I hear anything.

Have you received a response and/or passport yet?
I just passed one month today and submitted a status check. Will see if I get any response.
