Even if it's ready you will be able to pick it up only on the pickup date and after.

If anyone gets a new design passport, please share. I applied in Vancouver. I hope to get a new design passport which I feel is more inclusive.

Did anyone do a walk-in for a passport application in Toronto recently? If so, how long was the wait and the experience in general?
I checked passport locations online and they all seem to do walk-ins and urgent pick-up.
Any tips are much appreciated. Thank you!

Tips for what ? Well, be nice to people. Drink a lot of water. Chewing gum is not nice. and please use headphone while watching video.
Come on my friend, you got to this point. All you need to go there and wait maybe a little bit and it's done. and also, you can actually find out approximate waiting time here: yes, it shows waiting time! How nice it is, is not it ?

• Check walk-in wait times at passport offices before you go.

Click above link; type your postal code; click "Find Locations" and then click "Check office details and walk-in wait times New " and then under "Hours of service", you will see wait time.

I hope you can manage to apply your passport.

I went the day after a long weekend and it was VERY busy. Was there around 1 and walked out at 3:30. I’ve been to HHB many times before in the past couple of months and it was never this busy. I guess being closed for one day will do it lol

How do you understand if it is new or old ?

Those who applied via mail. What are/were your timelines? When was the payment taken vs delivery of new passport etc.
