Mine was delivered July 8th. Called today. Apparently the file is in the system, so I got a file number, but it hasn't even been checked for completeness, let alone be processed. Was told to check again after the 20 business days (from delivery).

Yea I called on Monday was told the same thing. Too bad we missed the reopening of the passport offices.

Haha hindsight is 20/20. Tbh don't know why I'm concerned so much about the speed of processing; I don't think I'll be doing any international travel for months lol Maybe need to take a break from this forum and the comparisons that comes with it lol

I think it's because we as old PRs tend to prefer to have valid travel documents on our hand to prove our identity. For me at least, didn't feel the journey is over until I had my passport in hand - not necessarily that I would be travelling somewhere. It just feels... complete - with my passport in hand.

I have immediate family members that don't live in Canada and people like me know there's always a chance that we will some day have to go back to our home countries in a short notice for any reason. So having a valid passport will save me from any trouble (when returning to Canada). But I'm happy the journey is almost over though!

I guess so. Adult passport does not have names - you do the signature.

Do you mean on the bio page? It should have the signature you put in the thick box on your application (which said make sure to sign within the box)
