Which office?

Ugh- a 5 hours wait just to get in the office?

I did it last Saturday and it’s just 4/5 days to get the certificate should you wish to pick it up in person from BLS.

One person can do the job - like I said in my previous post, you’d need signatures of your spouse on the self-declaration, forms, and self-attested copies.

Surrender is possible without a Canadian passport. You’d have to write a letter and sign with the date (so does your spouse with his/her signature). The whole process takes only a week albeit they will say it would take 6-8 weeks lol. This was in Brampton and I applied last Friday in person and...

Did you folks get PM’s and Sean’s letters?

It only says 'Handle with Care; DO NOT BEND' on the envelope

I see the same message on mine - submitted it last Friday. It certainly means everything is done.

Even the health care minimum residency requirements have been pulled in most provinces- so no more waiting ! Enjoy.

All 4 passports received today AM at the Scarborough passport office - this ends our immigration journey. Good luck, everyone ! Just keep the faith.

You have to mail in unfortunately- know friends who did it and they got the passport back.

What time did you join the line-up?

Yep they do as my travel dates were within 10 days.

Visit a Passport Canada office and not a Service Canada !

No you can't for your spouse if it's an Express application- I learnt it the hard way last Friday at the Whitby office and had to call my wife. They also indicated on the form that a 'physical appearance' is needed.

Yep - the officer in your breakout room would have told you that.

I did have a hotel booking. However, they accept without one as well. There isn’t any format - just a good old letter saying you’d be traveling.

Yes you can - I did the same thing and pick up passports this Friday at the Scarborough office.

BLS centers not working today due to servers down- wasted my morning there at BLS Lawrence location.

Mine was Scarborough and they’re pretty good (fast) in sending the certificates upon oath.
