I got my new Canadian passport today and its a good feeling when you first see it...My journey from PR to passport didnt take a very long time, around 14-15 months, which is not bad considering all the back-log. I am not sure if I was luckly, but I did lots of follow-ups - calls, webforms, ATIP...

Applied for passport last thursday at the downtown office. I didnt have an appoitnment, instead did a walk-in. We were there before 830am. I did not request for an urgent processing, so they said it will take 2 weeks to get the passport. The whole process was a breeze, but it took us 30 mins...

Is there a specific form to apply for a Canadian passport for the first time, after oath ? The form that is available online states that the applicant needs to have a previous Canadian passport in order to use that form.

Has anyone applied for a passport here in Montreal ? Is it faster to apply via walk-in or by appointment ?

I am guessing your oath might be in-person as well, 27th being a friday. Mine is on 20th. You shopuld be getting the email soon.

In the email I received, states the cermony will be in-person at IRCC. The tracker states that the notification has been sent only.

Update: I am scheduled for an in-person oath here in Montreal on Jan 20, 2023. Looks like things moved pretty quickly, after 7 months of no activity.

8 days is pretty good. Did you put in an urgent request ?

Via the tracker, my oath ceremony has been scheduled for January 20, 2023. All the best to eveyone and hope you all get your oath soon.

Yes all of them.

Try applying for GCMS notes, send web forms, calls, reach out to your MP,until it triggers something.

Congrats. When did you get your oath email ?
