    Are old passport designs still being handed out?

    That doesn't seem likely: " As of June 18, 2023, we started to issue the new passports. Until we finish installing the printers for the new passports in all offices, you may still get the current passport when you apply. By spring 2024, we’ll only be issuing the new passports. "...

    I'd suggest giving it a little more time since they don't count weekends (or holidays), and there's an extra 2 to 4 days for mail delivery. Once the portal indicates that it's printed and mailed, you can easily track it through Canada Post using the link they provide.

    If you submitted your application through Service Canada - Regular Service, you can expect to receive it in about 30 days on average. That includes around 20 business days (weekends not counted) plus the time it takes for mail delivery. In my case, it took 31 days to arrive.

    After the lady informed me that it would take 4 weeks to receive my passport and asked if I wanted to proceed, I should've left at that point.

    It's not mine. I searched for it on Google. When I googled 'Canadian passport first page,' there were numerous pictures of real people's passports. I was surprised as well. Why would people share such sensitive information online?

    You're all set with everything you need! It's completely natural to overthink in situations like this, but there's honestly no need to stress. They're fully aware of the address change process, and you've got all the paperwork to prove it. Just take a deep breath and relax! You're nearly at the...

    If I'm not mistaken, you can update your driver's license address in person (it's free). They should provide you with a document confirming the change, which you can carry alongside your current license until the new one arrives. P.S. By law, you must update your driver’s licence and vehicle...

    Can we travel outside of Canada after giving Citizenship Test?

    The timeline for your application after the test depends on your processing office and the current processing speed. It can range from about one month to four months, depending on whether your LPP and BG checks are completed. You must be either incredibly lucky or, in fact, unlucky to receive...

    Simply let the staff know a few minutes before 8:30, and they'll gladly let you in – just like a gentleman did before I entered the building. Alternatively, if you're lucky, there might be staff available to answer questions while you wait. Unfortunately, the place I was at didn't offer that...

    Based on what I've experienced - not in the same location, though - I'd recommend aiming for 7:30 am. It seems like around 80% of folks tend to roll in between 7:30 am and 8:00 am. So, I thought I was being super early bird, I was the first one there, though, but a whole bunch of people started...
