Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines
- Thread starter zam7
- Start date
well, in their case it was, but most in the forum lately have had much quicker response times, so I don't think that's across the board. plus, that's probably for complicated cases that are difficult to confirm; e.g. unresponsive references or guarantor, missing items, gaps in information, etc

This may be the case for mail in application, I did submitted in-person so only required guarantor sign on photo and application form.
hmm... the online instructions say that all the identity document copies should be signed too, even on the in-person instructions, I wonder if this has anything to do with your delay. cause in-person is supposed to be done faster in 10 business days with status in 5 business days. has your guarantor or others been contacted? sorry, I thought you were mail in all this time because this forum is mail in applications.
My application is very standard and from what the agent told me, everything is being processed without issue. I think it's just the new reality for mail-in applications.
sorry to hear that too, that's so long... what date does your tracking show that it was delivered to them? what office did you send to?
It was delivered on Oct 28th, I sent it to the Varennes office in Gatineau. It's definitely taking longer than I expected lol
yeah that's odd... I sent to the same office and mine was delivered on the Oct 29th but my credit card was charged Nov 3rd. no update since the charge tho. I've read from others tho that it varies when they charge your card, so it may not mean anything. sometimes I read you'll even be charged after you've already received everything back. they really seem to be teaching us patience more than anything (laughs)
I know right? Luckily I won't need a passport anytime soon, so I don't mind the wait. I'm just nervous about getting my citizenship certificate back... I really wish we didn't have to include the original
yeah same here, I did read tho that if they lose it in the mail that IRCC will send a replacement at no extra charge, so that's a relief
the CC should be charged soon. People tell that after CC is charged 7-10 days later we should receive the passport … but given the news .. I don’t See that happening soon
My Passport application was thru Mail.My credit card was charged on Oct 5 and i had my passport in my hand on Oct 15.Just for your information.
