Hi do you see the passport in your tracker?
I don't see in mine any info about passport. Always thought I'll need to apply separately for it

Passports are applied in Service Canada after ceremony

based on the above link ; below info , but not sure ;
Scarborough office is the slowest of all offices because its the busiest of all offices and they do uneven load distribution because local offices handle oath ceremonies locally so most GTA applications go to Scarborough office, as the volume of applications from GTA is so high compared to any other city in the country, it slows down the process significantly compared to other offices.

On top of that Scarborough has this weird rule that they don't show LPP complete till they can assign you a Oath ceremony date. Hence even if your LPP is complete, they wont show it on tracker and make you wait till have an Oath date available then they show LPP complete and Oath date is given in the next 2-5 days.

Also they do batching, so if they have 200 oath seats available but have 600 applications LPP completed, they will chose 200 applications move them to LPP complete and give them Oath date and the remaining 400 even if they from the same timeline and have LPP completed doesn't show progress till they have the next slot available for Oath.

How can I identify my application office?
