Update this morning. My MP office was able to contact the passport office and my passport will be printed today and mailed in one to four business days. I am told I should receive the password at the latest the Tuesday following Easter weekend. The MP office also said to contact let them know if I don’t receive it.
Great news. Congrats. Your MP is great and cares. Mine didn't even respond. It's been two days since I sent him

I sent a copy of my drivers license for proof of identity. My guarantor signed the front but I didn’t ask him to sign the back. So yes, the said it had to be signed.
Thanks, but did they ask you to just mail them the missing info, or did they ask you to re-submit a new application?

They may be off for a few days. That happened to me once. I am in BC. The office is open three days a week.
I hope you hear something soon.

I understand your frustration. If it's of any consolation, my CC was charged almost 4 weeks ago, and still nothing. They can charge CC and print the passport in a span of few days, i.e., CC charge means little if anything.
Thank you for this, and yes, I understand charing CC doesn't mean much (unfortunately), but I can't help feel even further behind when no movement has happened for me after almost six weeks of submitting my application. I hope things happen quickly for everyone!

Yes, if you apply via in-mail. For in-person, you don't have to as the office will verify it against the original

Thanks, I'd better mail it to them asap...I missed guarantor's signature as well
If you have your file number they said to write it on there . And I put it n the envelope as well. They told me my file number when I called.
