Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines
- Thread starter zam7
- Start date
it took almost 3 weeks for the CC to be charged for me. I'm sure yours will happen next week.
Me too just finished with their Call after 1.5 Hours of waiting and got the same stupid response " Your file is under examination . We are overburdened with the work . Nothing wrong with your file " . I asked them what about 20 Business days processing times they claim and the lousy response was " That's under normal circumstances ...this time we are overburdened so lot of people are getting delayed ".Just called them around 11h30. 425 calls were in the line ahead of me. Took 1hr to wait to receive a piece of information: "your application is under examination. No any notice at the time being". Fingers crossed
I think I am the only one left whose file was delivered on 11th Feb and CC is not yet charged ...my strategy now ...every Tuesday Raise a Status Request and Every Friday Call them . Just hope they have not lost my file & Docs
Should be fine still. I wouldn't start worrying until at least 20 days after the delivery date. By day 30, I'd be calling.
Well, they told you your file is under examination. So they obviously haven't lost it.
