Are you located in Calgary? Which Passport Office did you go to and did you need an appointment or was it a walk-in? Thanks.

Yes, Calgary. Just walk-in at Harry Hays for Express/Urgent applications but the wait time might be 2-3 hours until you get out.

 

[ambq91]

Awesome. Also, was your guarantor or reference phoned ? Thank you.

Guarantor (whom I asked) did not get contacted.

The passport tracker says:

“The passport has been printed

The passport is on its way to the pick-up location. Check your receipt to confirm the date and location”

Will pickup in the afternoon.

Hi, it's the same for me. I came across your post when I was browsing the forum for similar cases. I've received no update ever since March 2. It feels just pathetic that we appear to be the ones left behind while so many applicants in the same batch are already taking oaths.

Response to Q1 and Q2: I am looking for an answer to this.
Response to Q3: I have a job and a home in the US and none in Canada except for a mailing address (a friend's home). Every day I spend in Canada costs me in terms of AirBnB or hotel expenses. Where as in the US I have already paid monthly rent for an active long-term lease.

Then, it is safe in my opinion.

I am still waiting for the email! Do they send emails over the weekends too (i did see ceremonies happen over the weekend as well) or is that a wrong expectation?

Just got oath emails for my self and 3 minors.
