Went to Yonge & Sheppard for my passport, they said express applications has delays, and told me to take 10 day processing. I hope it’s processed in time, and not delayed
The 10 days processing seems to be the fastest there.. Got my passport exactly a week from application. I don't understand the logic LOL but I can't complain. :D

Hi, we submitted our passport in person at Service Canada Edmonton but unfortunately my daughter's photo was rejected due to shade/lights at the back. We got a rejection letter and had retake the photos. Do I need our guarantor to sign again the new photo?
Thanks.

My photo was rejected on Tuesday but I submitted another one same day. They retained the photo that have the guarantor's signature. When I asked if I need the guarantor to sign the new pictures again they said no. So you should be fine!

You can request for urgent passport basis your travel on June 25. After you do, ask your guarantor and reference to pick the verification call from Passport Canada.

Check for appointment at Passport Canada or try walkin. You can check for appointment and walkin time on the website. Take proof of your kids urgent travel. I don't have idea about authorization.

Hello everyone, new to this thread. I am planning to apply for the express passport pick up service. Any recommendations which passport office should I go to? And if they ask for proof of travel. I am travelling by car to the US so I need the passport urgently! Anything will help, please let me know.

Express service requires proof of travel, meaning a flight ticket.

That said, you can go to any nearby Service Canada Passport Office. Be mindful that it is a Passport Office otherwise you will not get the express service.

Applied for family and myself May 29th. Only my son got application file number. Now after 3 weeks still I can not get application numbers for my wife and myself.
Yesterday they called my garantor and asked about my son. They called me but call was missed. I am concerned. How long does it take that in person passport with no rush being processed? Please advise.
