Did you see any movement on tracking info today?
My case is similar, mailed by passport canada Oct 28, it was out for delivery on oct 30 but it went back to sorting office
due to processing error.
Nothing on tracking after Oct 30

You’re lucky! They received my application on Oct 9. Nothing yet other than CC charge on Oct 21. Wonder if it has anything to do with it being 5 or 10 year passport.

You should call them because your CC has been charged( good sign). They will tell you whether it is in the printing stage or not .

Finally I have an update!
App Sent -- Sep 12 (from Toronto)
App Delivered -- Sep 15

(no update since then, raised a complaint and got a call from Passport Office in Vancouver last week saying that they aim to process applications from Sep 15 this week and when I see a charge, that means that they have completed the processing)

CC charged: Nov 02

Waiting for the passport and certificate

You can send both applications together. Make sure to binder them separately, so that they don't get messed up. What I did -- I put application for myself and my husband in separate white envelopes and then I put both envelopes into one Xpresspost envelope.

I don't think anyone understands what do you mean that you have 2 pages of Citizenship Certificate. Citizenship Certificate is a one page document, printed from both sides. You should have one for yourself and one for your spouse. Do you mean that your Citizneship Certificate is printed only on one side, so you have 2 one-sided prints for each of you? That sounds weird.
