can you provide your timeline. There was another member who posted something similar but their note said passport has already been delivered or will be delivered by courier
I applied for passport in mail around June 29. Credit card charged July 8th and received courier yesterday with all original documents. There was a note saying my passport has been delivered by courier but yet to receive that courier so wondering if this is common and how long does it take to receive second courier with passport.

I don’t think we have many people here who have applied recently, so it is difficult to say how long will it take to get the passport. Most people here applied before May and their timelines have been very long. However, it looks like the backlog is going down and applications are being processed quicker.

I am 1 week behind you. I have yet to receive the original document back.

I hope we will get our passports soon as I have travel coming up in few weeks.

Hello, whoever received their Canadian passports recently do the passport have signature on it .

I recently received mine and notices that there is no signature on the photo page of the Canadian passport .

There is no signature on the bio page (the one which has the photo) however you have to sign it yourself on page 3, if you read page 1 you would notice the following:
To be valid, this passport must be signed on page 3 by the bearer, unless the bearer is a child under the age of 16.

I applied by mail one month before you, they have just returned the citizenship certificate to me last week, and my credit card was charge around the same time as you.

I have yet to receive my passport.

No - no printed signature any more. You just have to sign it. I think they phased this out a while ago.

I had a similar situation. Call them (18445339201 this number worked better for me ), explain your situation and ask for the status of the application.
If necessary you can change the delivery address quite easily.
That's what I did, although I haven't received the passport yet.

Hello
Has anyone applied without a guarantor (using Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor form) and got the passport ?
I am planing on applying with Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor form. Wonder if the processing time take longer than having a guarantor singed applications.
thanks!
Hi, any update on your application? I am also planning to apply without a guarantor.
