No doubt. The only benefit was that they can confirm the documents and give them back to you, rather than mailing them. And I live near one. Otherwise, it's no different than mailing it in.

Fair point.

What is your evidence that it will cause a delay in the citizenship application? I believe that statement is patently false. IRCC constantly tell people to renew their PR cards while waiting for the citizenship application process to play out.

Does it look like all GTA tests are being done in Scarborough now that the oath ceremonies are done in Mississauga?

Just to provide a conclusion to my own experience, I received my passport today, so it took 4 weeks exactly after dropping the application at a Service Canada office.

Technically they aren't a citizen until they've taken the oath, so issuing a passport ahead of that would be illegal.

I already know my voters profile is screwed up because of a mixed up identity issue with another immigrant with a name very similar to mine. His voter card was mailed to my address while I was waiting for the oath invite. I should probably get on top of that soon.

The free year of parks admission makes up for lack of a MP letter. Shame it wasn't for provincial parks as well.

That said, if you've been railing for tougher immigration requirements or have been anti-immigration altogether, this probably isn't a priority lol

Right? You'd think they'd be clamoring for lists of potential constituents.

You shouldn't be too long now, I wouldn't think.

You can leave immediately. Just can't fly back into Canada for a few days...

By electoral districts, please. I want to know which MP's specifically are slacking off.

It will just be a status change. There will not be an additional line change.

We should start another tracking sheet.

Maybe instead of calling them lazy, you could realize they might, I don't know, maybe be terribly swamped? By the way, oath is a word, not an acronym, and thus shouldn't be capitalized.

I'd forgotten they would send them. Haven't received anything, but I'm only at 4 weeks.

I went to a Service Canada since I didn't have time to get to a passport office. They told me that with mailing time, I'd be looking at close to 5 weeks. Definitely go to a passport office if you're in any kind of hurry.

Goes to show you that someone from IRCC reads these forums. We have similar timelines, but you predicted August while I predicted July. I think they decided to meet our expectations lol ;) Congrats... nice to see another Newmarket application get completed soon.

Regardless of whether the document is asked for, it's something you should have in your possession. It's easy enough to apply for a duplicate to be sent to you, so that would be my suggestion.
