Was there any overlapping between your passport validity and the eligibility period? If yes, then this is a totally different situation. The OP wants to send photocopies of a new passport whose validity period starts after the eligibility period. This is not necessary.

You don't need to.

Great news. Congrats. Your MP is great and cares. Mine didn't even respond. It's been two days since I sent him

When did you do the test?

Then the officer wanted to play some mind games with you :)

One week before.

Not true, unfortunately. Some applications take longer than others.

When I said I am not comfortable doing this, I meant buying a cheap ticket to the US to force them to process my application, not about editing a PDF file, which is something I would never do. BTW, the cheapest ticket is $90 not $20. So, basically if I asked for a file transfer, I would have to...

BG check expired and re-checked.

I understand your frustration. If it's of any consolation, my CC was charged almost 4 weeks ago, and still nothing. They can charge CC and print the passport in a span of few days, i.e., CC charge means little if anything.

So, yeah, color it as you like. The fact of the matter is that the backlog has grown over time, not shrunk. The 2021 fast progress was a workaround by IRCC to maintain the 12 months processing time at the expense of 2019 and 2020 applicants. This won't happen anymore, and IRCC will probably go...

Wow. Quick. Congrats. What office processed your file/charged your CC? and did they call the guarantor/references?

I don't drive, unfortunately. That would have been an easier option.

To those who presented a ticket for express/urgent processing: did passport Canada ask for a reason of the travel? Also, does a bus ticket to the US work if anyone had a bus ticket and not a plane ticket?

Would passport Canada ask for a reason of travel if you gave them a ticket? It's sad we are discussion this. I am not comfortable going about it, but they left no other choice because of their incompetency

It's something I am entertaining. Can I cancel the ticket on the same day of the flight if they give me the passport on the flight's date? On the other hand, I am thinking something cheap like a bus ticket to NY is safer in case the passport came on the same day of the travel and a refund is not...

I am tied with too many variables and constants here, and I am not sure what to do at this point. I am losing hope I could get my passport in the next 2 weeks. If it was a vacation trip I would have postponed it.

That's right, 7 weeks, and I don't expect to get it any time soon. It may take another 3-4 weeks at least, while they still maintain their processing time of 20 business days, which is a big fat lie.

I would like to ask again: is having a ticket guarantees processing my application before my travel date? I am starting a new job abroad next month, and I have to buy tickets, give my notice here for my apartment, and book a place where I am going. I don't want to do all of this and be told not...

What office did charge your CC?
