Got passport for 3 persons under 9 business days
Applied on March 13 at Whitby , Ontario by person
received passport on Mar 23 morning by post
What doecuments do we need to submit for this requirement?
  • any valid Canadian passport or other travel document (refugee travel document or certificate of identity) issued to you
We are new citizens so the PR cards are cut. What could be a valid document here?

For that part, since you have never had any, you don’t provide any.

Folks who are in US on Visa and became Canadian citizens while staying in US, how did you declare to USCIS about your Canadian citizenship?

A signature is required. So if you’re not there to sign when they attempt delivery, you’ll have a notice to go to your local post office for pick up.

Thanks.

i am worried that i will be in another province for work when i receive the passport and i want to check if my husband or sister(both having same mailing address on their ID) can pick it up from canada post or sign when receiving the application.

Is that possible in case I was not at my mailing address during the delivery?

It should be OK.

Congrats ! Was your oath online or in-person ? Did you get the certificate the same day ?
