    Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

    Passport has officially been printed and mailed via FedEx on the very last day of the 20 business days allowable. There's a tracking # in my FedEx shipping manager, but only a label has been created so far. I'm assuming it'll go out on Monday.

    I am worried that I'll be selected for non-routine processing.

    I've been self-employed for years and my application was processed within 3 months with no interview, no fingerprints, or any hassles. So take what you've heard as a grain of salt.

    Just use the Discover Canada guide. Most of the questions are middle-school civics level and are designed to be easily passable or guessable. I didn't take mine lightly, but I didn't really study HARD and still wound up with a 17/20.
