Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines
- Thread starter zam7
- Start date
@forw.jane, i did not get FedEx number from online tracker, FedEx just delivered my passport to me earlier today, and online tracker still shows "mailing it to you by Canada Post"
Just for fun I'm going to give you my timeline:
Sent my application by mail on June 12, 2024.
Credit card was charged on June 25, 2024. Sent me back my citizenship certificate the same week.
Current status: "We are reviewing...".
This a f***ing joke.
I called then 3 times, every time they tell me that there is no issue with my file and ghat they are going to contact the people responsible for the processing. Everything nothing changes.
I emailed my MP: no response.
What's the next step? Involving the press?!

6 months. This is really weird. Check at Passport Canada office if they nearby.
I submitted for my first Canadian Passport on Dec 6 at Passport Canada office in-person. Anticipated mail date is Dec 20 i.e. Today.
Application has been approved on Dec 10th and the status on tracker is showing 'We are printing your Passport' since 10 days.
I called the Passport and they suggested when the batch gets printed my passport will be printed and mailed out and they don't have any tentative timeline by when the batch will be printed.
Any one in similar situation awaiting for passport printing after application was approved ? How long it might take for them to print the passport ?

Hi Everyone,
I have some questions about New passport application and mailing it. It would be helpful if you can answer my queries.
* Do I need to place photos in an envelope?
* Should all the forms and supporting document to be put in an envelope?
* How are you guys doing a 2-way courier service? How do you guys track the mail, application and its return?
* I am in British Columbia, should I send mail to following address:
Government of Canada

Applied by mail from BC for my first passport on February 11, Canada Post delivered it to the Mississauga office on February 14 (was supposed to be delivered on February 13 but given the snowstorm, I'm happy with Canada Post), following this thread. Credit card was not charged yet, of course.
Update: Credit card charged at night on Friday 14. But I can't get a reference number here yet: https://etatpasseport-passportstatus.service.canada.ca/en/email

Timeline so far for my application from BC (first passport) by regular mail:
I hope that this means that, in case I need to go in to switch to express or urgent pick-up or correct mistakes, I can just go to the Richmond location and don't even need to request a transfer of the file.
- Feb 11: Sent application by Canada Post Xpresspost, including proof of travel
- Feb 14: Delivered to the Mississauga location and credit card charged $160
- Feb 19: Received Citizenship Certificate back by Xpresspost, looked up the tracking number and found out that it was sent on Feb 18 from Richmond, BC.
- https://etatpasseport-passportstatus.service.canada.ca/en/email: Don't get an email yet.
