Has anybody had some luck calling Passport Services. 1800 567 6868. Have called this number like 5 times now. After waiting for about 30 minutes with 300 people of queue. The call gets disconnected.

Thanks, usually how long it takes to generate the file number after the application have reached to Ottawa?

Sorry, I have no idea about that. Probably 5 (or more) business days after it reaches the passport office

That was always a painful luck! I experienced the same disconnection so I had to redial and wait about 2hrs to talk to an agent

Up to my knowledge, 3 weeks after making sure that the file is OK and ready for the officer's investigation and decision.

When did you apply? It may take 2-3 weeks after CC is charged. It's been 2 weeks for me, and my application is still in examination, as per the last update I received.
