Is it normal situation that only one passport out of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) is printed and sent and all the rest are still in processing stage?

Hi, I am filling in the canada passport form (pptc153) in advance, mostly I am going to apply for canada passport next month after my oath. There are few things would like to double check if someone could help.
  1. Parent’s surname at birth : Instruction states we can put any one of our parents surname. Let’s say I mention my father’s surname then do I need to specify somewhere that it belongs to whom like father or mother ?
  2. Occupation in the last 2 years : There is a section to fill occupation in last 2 years. I have been working for same organization since last 9ish years. Let’s say I will be applying passport march 2024 ; then last 2 years be counted from 2022 march to 2024 march Or I should give the from date (yyyy-mm) as my actual start date in organization which is 9ish years back ?

1. If you don't see a place to enter that information, then you don't enter that information. No need to complicate things.
2. You put the actual start date. Yes, it will cover a longer period than required.

It'll be 10 business days come Monday and status still says "processing" and I applied at a Passport Office Service Canada branch. Does that mean I'll get 25% fee back? :p
Good for you! Congratulations!
I also applied in person for regular service on February 13, and it's been more than 10 business days, but the status still says "We are processing."

Hello I have two questions.
  • Can the passport form only be signed and dated after you receive the e certificate. It took about 4 days before mine was available
  • Is it a problem if the guarantor dates the application before mine. For example the put the date as 22nd and I put mine as 26
