Thanks. I know who my MP is and their email. I just wanted to know if they will ask for a proof of travel to intervene on my behalf or not. I am emailing him tonight. I am sorry nothing has happened for you yet. I applied after you by a month and I am so frustrated.

Have you filed a complaint against your office? Try that also.

Thanks. I will bookmark this as I am exploring my options.

I believe I am the only one and @TokyoH who applied in Feb and still haven't gotten the passport yet. Is there anyone else? @Snowisland have you heard back from them?

@Ragnheidr Do you have any advice on how to frame a message to MP regarding the delay? I still don't have a proof of travel, but I must travel by the end of this month, do I need to give the MP's office a proof of travel to intervene on my behalf?

You can safely hibernate for 2 months.

The bias remains after you become a citizen. Some people got their passports in 3 weeks, while I have been waiting 7 weeks and still nothing, and I applied before them. I am 99.7% sure these people are white Europeans, and my file was put aside because they need to do more scrutiny to it because...

Yes. I am still waiting. No responses to update requests or complaints. Calls take 2-3 hours to get through, and when they do they give you general answers like covid-19 BS. A nightmare

Do you have any recommendation how and where to boo? I have never went by bus to the US

I doubt it. These are just for publicity. Racism and biases are entrenched in Canada at all level and departments.

You can walk-in to service Canada for regular application. I recommend to not have any travel plans at least 3 months. Passport Canada is not reliable.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/immigration-canada-acts-to-end-racism-cultural-bias-among-employees-1.5848940 It talks about visa applications, but I think this can be extrapolated to all categories.

I am entertaining the idea of booking a bus ticket to NY to force them to process my application to void all the drama of changing dates and potentially facing problems.

These are bad news for us, but good they caught the attention of the media. Passport Canada will not do their jobs more effectively until they are forced to, and this negative publicity is one force. Applying in person by the way is not much better. Many offices are booked a month in advance...

I need to travel by the end of this month. I need to book a ticket that costs $1000s and I need to book a hotel where I am going to have a place when I first arrived. I am afraid I am not going to get my passport before then, and I am hesitant to book the ticket and hotel so far.

What about your application. It has been approved?

45 calendar days (33 business days) since I submitted my application :confused: It's so frustrating. I am getting anxious as my travel's date is getting closer. Question: if I booked a ticket, would I 100% get the passport before the travel date?

I think you are safe if you have been waiting 4 months already for the oath.

It's possible. IRCC is known for their disorganization. Someone waited 2 years for the oath. They were scheduled the first time just before the pandemic (Jan 2020), and rescheduled it, and just recently was rescheduled by IRCC. The frustrating thing is that no one can touch IRCC and influence...

When was your last BG check completed?
