Nope. They transferred my file so no idea what is going to happen with the birth certificate.

Nope, never received anything by email. Only resutls i got was from going in person and requesting the transfer. Then they called when it was ready to pickup.

They called because i went in and requested a transfer as i had upcoming travel plans. This was after i called and requested a transfer, but nothing came of that. So after my in person visit to request a transfer, they called me when it was ready.

I requested a transfer by phone and then a week later went in to my local office early, lined up and made a transfer request in person, saying that i hadn't heard anything from my phone request. The local office said they hadn't received anything so submitted a request there and then.

received a call yesterday from my local VO saying my sons passport was ready for pickup today. Went down. In and out in 10 mins. FINALLY. This is over. Good luck everyone else.

Yep. I lined up outside, then before the office opened at 8:30, some staff came out to ask why we were all there one by one. They were helping people with new applications to make sure all the documents were in order and then seeing if there were any transfer requests. There were 3 of us. They...

Spoke to my MPs office AGAIN yesterday. They said they haven't heard anything back from their status request to Service Canada and they cant speak to anyone directly (which is weird, because other MPs seem to be able to). They said to go in person and request a transfer. I had already summitted...

The agent said it depends on the local visa office. He said all they do is put in a request for the local visa office to accept the transfer and that they don't automatically send it to them. He said depending on their load, the local visa office might just ignore it, reject it, or forget about...

Nope. No credit card charge either. I called for a transfer last week as I have travel on July 29, and they said the local office would call me on the 27 or the 28, but to also be prepared to expect that the transfer wont happen and that I wouldnt find out until those times have passed.

What is everyone's experience with requesting a transfer for a mailed in app to their local passport office? I managed to get through yesterday and they said they put in a transfer request for my application to my local passport office as I have travel coming up on July 29. They said to expect...

If youre home, they will knock your door to hand it to you in person. if youre not home, they will leave a collection note for you to go to your nearest CP location. Sometimes CP do that anyway instead of knocking the door. What they did with me. I was home all day and at the end of the day...

Similar to you all too, except I have no CC charge yet. Newborn application sent and received May 4. No CC charge. Travel September 2. Called payment line and said they can see the application but no charge yet. Even though its been 10 weeks, didn't seem phased by it. Said "its slow". Think...

This is literally what the guy on the phone told me yesterday. Said to book a hotel in Seattle within 2 weeks and then call and request a transfer. If you cant get through on the phones, to go into your local office and request the transfer, but to also be prepared to bring a new application...

So I just called the 9201 number. about 2.5 hours I managed to speak to someone. I gave him all the details of my son's application submitted 9 weeks ago on may 4. He said based on the tracking number he can confirm it was received but that there is no information in his system meaning they...

Is there an alternative number people sometimes call? I remember seeing there is a credit card number people have had some success calling and considering I just want to speak to someone to find out when im being charged, this might be a good line to call.

I call 50-100 times every day at various different times. Only ever get the "for general information..." recording. Never get put in a queue. Been trying this for weeks now.

Heard from my MPs office today about my sons passport. They said that not even they are able to get through to speak to them on the phone and so they have been unable to confirm whether they have even received it or not. They said my only option will be to request a transfer to my local office...

Still waiting on my son's passport. Delivered on May 4 and to date no credit card charge. In the amount of time his has been in process, I had already been charged and received my passport. Can't get through on any phone lines, my MP who said they would look into it has gone silent, no response...

Finally! Passport arrived on Friday June 17. Just my newborn's passport I'm waiting on now!

It seems most people get theirs either with their returned passport, or in a separate envelope shortly before or after the passport is received. Weirdly though mine was returned to me two days after my CC was charged and that was over a week ago now.
