Thank you for sharing this info. Did you submit the application for yourself and family or family members are required to be present there physically?

You can go to the office and explain to them. They will most likely take the older one and let you keep the new one

We had applied for passport at Service Canada office on 24-Nov. Mail out date given to us is 22-Dec. We had not given any travel dates while applying, however now planning to visit US by road during winter holidays. Does anyone know how we can speed up the process now, to get passports earlier?

Sharing my experience with passport office Kitchener today
I had booked appointment a month before​
Oath certificate took 1 month and received in my mailbox an hour before in-person appointment for 2.30PM​
I had everything ready in forms, sign and photos, I got hold of guarantor and took signature​
Reached office by 2.25PM, we are local in Kitchener -Waterloo​
Passport office was not crowded but two applicants took over an hour at each counter, resulting delays. My turn came by 3.40PM​
I was done with passport application for family by 4.25 ( total 2 hours with advance appointment)​
Will pickup passport after 2 weeks for standard pickup service (+$20 each application)​
Hope to get passport after 2 weeks (unlike oath certificate 30 days)​

if you apply passport office standard application 10 to 20 business days now you have to choice ask for file transfer if accepted they can show you air ticket if you going by road show hotel booking kip in mind $-50 FILE TRANSFER will be charge extra

Hello.
My wife's citizenship certificate, existing passport have middle name and last name before marriage.
However, for applying for Canadian passport, we would like her passport to use middle name and last name after marriage.
We have her documents from home country [and also marriage certificate from home country] showing the middle name and last name after marriage.
Will that work?

Read the instructions, that should work. It may work better if she has or changes other documents locally to reflect the 'new' name (driver's license, heatlh card, whatever).
