Picked up my passport last week, it was not as busy. Got a token for pickup upstairs, was sent down directly with no wait. The line downstairs was short, waited for probably 5mins. Went to the window, showed id and receipt. Was out in 5mins. Overall in and out in less than 15mins. My guarantors...

They typically take 5-7 business days to attach an email or document response to your case. And A LOT of times, even though they receive the response, the status is never updated online and it continues to say waiting on you. My whole process is complete, but the tracker was never updated. One...

If you are applying in person, they will return all the documents to you at the window. That said, foreign passport is an acceptable proof of ID.

Applied in person today(Mar 17th) . Surrey(Central City) Passport Office. Went in at 11 am. Took 2.5 hrs. 2 hrs 20mins wait, 10mins actual time for the application processing. They did say that it was busier than usual today. Applied express (with travel proof), pick up date March 23rd...

I noticed today that for younger children, the children didn't have to be present. Parents with birth certificate were good. There were at least two people with kids under 13, who didn't have the kid with them.

Let me know how it goes. I m planning on going in on Friday.

Finally! Congrats. On to the passport journey now :D

Try calling up and see if there is any action on it. Since its been a month from the webform submission, you can also try responding to the original oath invite email and follow up on your request. Unfortunately there is not a lot to do but wait.

Perfect. Thanks for confirming.

There is no set timeline for it. Some folks were rescheduled 6 months after. You should follow up with them via email and hope that it helps move your case.

One would think that it's just easy to mail all applications together on a day, but nobody can ever understand IRCC's logic. Did they confirm that your evidence for work was reviewed. I think what helped my case was that I had emailed my expedition request before the ceremony and my supporting...

Does anyone know if someone else can pick up the passport on your behalf, if applied urgent or express? I plan on applying in person, but will likely have my spouse or a friend pick it up. Location: Vancouver or Surrey.

Yup, I m sure it’s just a matter of a day or two for you.

Yes. It’s probably because I had a request to expedite it because of my work.

@americanidiot Got mine. How about yours?

Every office works differently. The range is pretty wide, 2-6 weeks. Some offices (Montreal) sometimes also give an option to pick it up.

As always with IRCC, there is no rhyme and rhythm to when you get an email. I got an email 2 weeks before the ceremony, while I have seen some others get it 3-5 days before the ceremony. I would say if you don't receive by March 27th, give them a call or email.

I ended up calling them today. Apparently my certificate was also shipped, but the online tracker still stays in progress. IRCC for sure likes to keep some thrill and suspense till the end.

Thats awesome. Mine is still open (even though customer care agent says its being processed as urgent :D)..Nothing new at my end. Hopefully you will have it in hand by early next week.
