I am sorry you are still in IRCC's ordeal. I am now questioning myself whether this whole immigrating to Canada was really worth it. The 27-month new processing time for the citizenship, will definitely put Canada's attractiveness to immigrants to the test. We will see if they can still attract...

I sent my application Feb 21st, and to this day it's in examination, and was told today it may take another 2-3 weeks. What's your office?

I doubt it will take 27 months for you

When did you apply?

Congrats. Finally some updates. Did they call the guarantor/references?

It has already been affecting current applications. These numbers are just their admission of not being able to return to pre-pandemic processing times, which they tried very hard to maintain but failed miserably. My application took 27 months. I was wondering why it took this long. Now I have...

If you are traveling in more than 3 months, I think you are safe.

When did you apply? I didn't know you could renew your passport with years left in it. Were all pages full of stamps?

How many applicants applied in Feb and still haven't received their passport? @taekwondo have you seen any progress in your file?

Yes, March 14th. But it doesn't seem to mean much. I read someone's CC charged March 23rd, and received their passport March 26th. So, it all can happen at once.

OK, let me know if you get it soon, please. I think they should check the certificate, scan it and return the original right away. Just like they do at Service Canada

Has your CC got charged? I did the same mistake. I should have put April 15th to limit their processing time. Now they think I don't have plans, and thus it's OK to put it aside possibly requesting more investigation and process other applications. I was basically told it may take 2-3 weeks more.

OK, although between what Passport Canada should and would do lies the devil. I hope they are at least diligent in entering my details. At this point I have little faith in whatever they do.

Did they agree to send you the certificate? They didn't give me any ETA for my file. I felt the agent was holding back info, because I asked if there is any issue with my application, she answered "so far nothing is requested". The answer was odd as I didn't ask if there is something requested...

Your issue here would be the certificate. For the passport you can get it one before your travel if you apply urgent processing. For most, the certificate is received in 2 weeks, but it may take longer. If you decide to reschedule, it may take 3-6 months to be rescheduled again.

What would happen if my details were not printed correctly and I receive it by mail? Do I have to mail it again or I can go to the nearest passport office to correct it? Mailing an application is a nightmare, literally. Honestly all governmental services are a nightmare in Canada these days.

I called today to ask if there is some issue with my application, and was told it's still under examination and so far nothing is requested, but "it's too early" to tell if there is something wrong, and was asked to call back again in 2-3 weeks if I don't receive my application. What this...

The virtual ceremonies themselves are the bottleneck.

Thanks. My travel is the end of April. I cannot use land crossing because I don't have a valid US VISA. But if I had my certificate, at least I would have the option of applying for the passport from outside Canada if I was staying long enough to get the passport. Now, I am under Passport...

Make colored photocopies and scanned copies of all pages before renewing in case they ask for them
