I applied at barrie service Canada they offer 10 business day service. When I call them they say its already approved since last week but not printed or mailed yet and mailing date on receipt is April 17 though.
Well, Barrie Service Canada is not a Passport Office - so the mail time can take between 10 to 20 days. However, it does say that if you want to pick up in 10 days you need to pay $20 additional. Did you do that? (Barrie)

I applied at Hamilton Mountain Passport Office which has 10 days mail out (being a passport office it is faster service).

I applied for the passport on the 5th of April at the North York Passport Office and the online status has been the same ever since, I tried calling today and got connected to an agent who initially said my application was approved but then said he didn't have access to the application starting with a particular series of reference numbers (which includes mine), and transferred me to uncharted territory where I waited for an hour and then eventually got hung up. Did anyone experience the same?

It was told 10 May 2024, it will be available to send mail to me.

Did someone get any update today on the tracker? I applied on April 5th and was supposed to ship today but no update on the tracker. I called a couple days ago and was told it's approved.

Hey - Hope you read my post couple of post above yours - It will be staggered - Potentially should receive before the mail date on the receipt - Try calling 800 number 10 business days after your application date to track actual status ( If they say application is approved, passport should be mailed 2-3 business days later max).
