I received them in the same envelope.Good they send the passports Xpresspost. The certificates came with the same envelopes as the passports, or different? As far as I know they send them separately.

Nah, left a notice in my mailbox.It doesn't get delivered to your mailbox?
yep yep i was not thinking the passport Canada have such slow bad service, i was in urgent processing my application took more than 25 days and no passport from them called transferred the file to a local office went and paid fees the lady said come tomorrow well what??? you can print it now it takes 2 min, i returned again the next day for her and she said they did not printed the passport yet let me check in the back she went inside and printed my passport and returned within like 5 min like for god sake why you did not do this yesterday it took you 5 min to do it, and instead you told me to waist my time and come again next day, finally i am away from them for the next 10 years. i forgot to tell they kept my certificate with them for 2 weeks i panicked they may lose it or misplace it or the agent who worked on my file messed up the whole thing i called them many times and filed complaint finally after lot of wait time and stress they return it to me and i am 300% sure if i did not ask about it i will wait for 3 months without certificate and they will lose it.Thanks for sharing. I think that the whole application process is ridiculously long und unjustified. How in the world it can take more than 40 days just to verify docs and print a passport? Gross inefficiency and blunt incompetency from passport office. Some walkins got they passport in couple of days. No system, no fairness, no nothing.
WowStill waiting for my child's passport since application delivered in Gatineau on December 30th 2021
It's VERY long. They say 25 business days, which is roughly 30 calendar days. Also noticed that they started to send the passport and certificate together. Maybe they changed their strategy since they send them using Xpresspost. I guess this is better than waiting for the certificate for another 2 weeks.Hi guys, finally my waiting journey is over. Today I received my passport and citizenship certificate both together in the same envelope.

Passport and citizenship certificate received- Feb 23, 2022
Exact 43 days
Yes certainly not 25 business days, frankly I was mentally prepared for a month in the beginning but then I realized that it’s taking extra 10-15 days. Not sure why? May be protests or shortage of staff or backlog.It's VERY long. They say 25 business days, which is roughly 30 calendar days.

I thought when I was done with the oath I won't have to wait. I was wrong. The wait is in all stages even after the oathYes certainly not 25 business days, frankly I was mentally prepared for a month in the beginning but then I realized that it’s taking extra 10-15 days.

This is a ridiculous system of sucking our hard earned money without providing any slight resemblance of service.I thought when I was done with the oath I won't have to wait. I was wrong. The wait is in all stages even after the oath
lol who hurt you brah? Lots of immigrants too work for the government.Thanks for sharing. I'm pretty sure it's not only passport services are so lousy, the whole government bureaucracy is an inefficient, hypocritical, racist, inept system. Period. They are so lazy and with a sense of entitlement and superiority like they know how hard is it to come here and work your way up. They are acting like they do us (immigrants) favor. F...ks. I can't wait to get my passport and just like you said try not to deal with them for another 10 years.
Very true said. I don't know why the heck they ask for these silly details.The only way the guarantor to know your exact height is by you telling them. Passport Canada should know this. I think as long as the height your guarantor gave is close, that should be OK. As for the eyes colors, again if they gave close description that's OK. This requirement is silly to be honest to expect someone else to know you that well. Even couples living together sometimes don't know this much details about each others.
yup, why not just charge a bit more from the citizenship application, and just send us citizenship certificate and the passport together once we take the oath. No point of applying multiple times for different stuff basically meaning the same thing.yep yep i was not thinking the passport Canada have such slow bad service, i was in urgent processing my application took more than 25 days and no passport from them called transferred the file to a local office went and paid fees the lady said come tomorrow well what??? you can print it now it takes 2 min, i returned again the next day for her and she said they did not printed the passport yet let me check in the back she went inside and printed my passport and returned within like 5 min like for god sake why you did not do this yesterday it took you 5 min to do it, and instead you told me to waist my time and come again next day, finally i am away from them for the next 10 years. i forgot to tell they kept my certificate with them for 2 weeks i panicked they may lose it or misplace it or the agent who worked on my file messed up the whole thing i called them many times and filed complaint finally after lot of wait time and stress they return it to me and i am 300% sure if i did not ask about it i will wait for 3 months without certificate and they will lose it.
IRCC already struggles enough with not much. I don't think adding the passport creation in the queue would be wise.yup, why not just charge a bit more from the citizenship application, and just send us citizenship certificate and the passport together once we take the oath.
