One update request I raised after 2 weeks of submission, and then called after 6 weeks. Both updates said my file was in examination.

Not really. It just means it hasn't been approved yet. I got under examination update 2 weeks after submitting my application, and received my passport at the 8th week.

If your trip is important, call and ask for file transfer. There is no other option. Walking in at a local office probably won't solve your issue. Did you call them recently about the status of your file? When did you apply? It takes 8 weeks to receive the passport these days. If you are no...

Yes, it's over :) Hopefully you will get yours soon

In the last days I was feeling depressed. Literally. I stopped checking the tracker and in hindsight I should've stopped visiting these forums. If you can just take a break from these forums, and check your tracker once at the end of the day before bed.

I wouldn't drive 40 Km for a regular passport application. I would mail it.

Once your file is accepted by the local office, they can issue the passport very quickly. What takes time is the transfer itself as they need to request a transfer and the local office has to approve it.

There is a good chance you will get it a week before your travel's date.

Congrats. 33 calendar or business days?

The processing time is the same. The only difference is that you go home with your certificate.

And they said the made renewal applications faster!!

I agree. I am OK with securing the borders, but now we have technologies. They can scan the whole body on machines. Why the strip search. Searching the bags is OK.

The body scan on the machine and strip search are two different things. strip search with squatting is very insulting these days with all these technologies.

WTF? Is this for real? :eek: What happens if someone refuses to do this insulting search?

What they ask and do for the secondary inspection?

It might have been a coincidence

You have a chance to get it a week before your flight. It takes these days 7 weeks to approve mail-in applications. If you don't get it a week before your flight, then you will need to arrange your file to be transferred to a local office and request express processing.

There is a breakdown in the whole governmental system during the pandemic. No agency can be reached in less than 3-4 hours, and some even cannot be reached at all.

CBSA record, I think.

I received my latest update after 23 calendar days
