You still have a good 4 weeks ahead of you, I am afraid.

Would have been exactly one week after me, if Monday wasn't a holiday. Congratulations!

Just wait and see. No one knows the answer to your question. The officer will decide.

Regular applications take around 8 weeks these days. If you are scheduled to pick up in person, I would suggest to call before you go. You don't want to go and waste your time if your passport has not been issued.

Did you apply at passport office or service Canada?

This is the normal order of things. Most people have experienced the same. Your application is taking longer than normal, though.

Has a decision been made on your file?

Walk-ins are accepted at passport office only two business days before your travel. You can keep trying to find an appointment before (some people may cancel), or wait until 2 business days before your travel date.

OK, I see. I thought you received your passport when you mentioned delivered on April 14th.

How is that possible? 3 days for mail-in application? Was your application urgent? Why didn't you apply in-person?

Many people don't get their passports on the the expected time. Your application might not have been even processed yet. There is a backlog at passport Canada. The best way to know is to call them.

Better be prepared for the test. Not updating your test to completed was a sign of an issue.

No bar code was on the application I sent. Everything was fine. They will enter your personal data manually, although I am not sure how to generate this bar code in the first place.

One problem passport Canada has is that they are not realistic. They give false hope. I am sure most of the frustration stems from this point. Not the delay itself. I know this first hand.
