June 2023 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter forw.jane
- Start date
Hello, anybody who has already applied for a passport, has been able to check the status online?
No, when I check it says "We can't give you the application status right now". It's been more than 3 weeks since the application already.
Did they give you a date when you are expected to get the passport?
You should give them a call. 3 weeks is a long time
you are entitled to automatic refund of 25% if some delay is there from 10business days (assuming you applied in a passport office instead of regular service canada).. and 50% refund if long delay is there.
People are talking about passport and I am waiting for lpp. 
All of us have been there before. Hope you get yours soon.People are talking about passport and I am waiting for lpp.

Hello everyone,
I received GCMS notes today. Everything is still the same nothing changed (LPP - Not Started). However, in the notes section, there is a new note (picture attached).
They have requested ICES from CBSA which is to confirm my travel history. Is it a good sign? How long does CBSA usually takes to respond. Should I send the scanned copies of stamped pages of my passport, if it can fast track the process?

Physical presence is 1096 days which is just 1 day more than 1095 days. So looks like they are checking and confirming thatHello everyone,

Yes, that is the only reason, but do you think that it is going to further delay the application?
No idea. But at least you know what’s happening. I am delayed as well but I don’t even know why LPP is held up for long
