Hi Everyone,

For those going to apply for passport this week, try to do a pick up as it seems like Canada post plans to go on strike and if you have choosen for the passport to be mailed to you it may get stuck

I read that the strike was averted for now. Still better to pick it up, if the applicant lives in close proximity to the passport office.

Let the agent know about your travel plans at the interview and they probably will schedule your Oath for when you get back from your vacation, unless you get lucky and get Oath Invite for the day after test.

The application online does not validate for me I dont know if that is correct or fill a paper one in the passport office that is why I am asking

 

[Monmon24]

I think it was 9 days total (business and weekend) for me.

I went to the office, filled the paperwork, and had it mailed to me. If you're worried about the CanadaPost Strike, you can ask if you can come to pick it up in person.
