No experience in this context, but Citizenship Cert is only if child is born outside of Canada. Canadian Birth Cert should suffice in your case (a Citizenship Cert is also an alternative here too, but not required if you can provide that Canadian Birth Cert).

Wife finally got the passport today (applied in person back on 7th of March). Our journey is now complete and wish everyone here the very best of luck with their journeys. Thank you to everyone for all of your help and support throughout the last couple of years, it has been absolutely wonderful and I'm forever grateful!

I gave a call to 6868 number and was told my application was approved and moving to next steps. When I asked what are the next steps and how long it will take the agent was not giving straight answer but I would assume it would be printing and mailing of passport. Do anyone know how long the “next steps” take usually.

about 10 days, it happened to us, wife phoned 10 days ago and told her it was approved and we got the passport today. Best of luck!

Passport mailed from BC to Mississauga: May 27
Received: May 31
No CC charge yet as of Aug 24

Called Service Canada for the second time and described my situation.
The first time I contacted them there was no help provided however this time they agreed to initiate my transfer request.

My application was delivered at Mississauga by May 27 and as per agent they started working on it by 4th August.
When I asked the agent that as per the posted timelines then my passport should be delivered by 13 weeks and I am already at 10th.. his response was -13 weeks from the day we start working on application.

he said transfer fees plus other changes will be somewhat around 150$ .. which I don’t understand but said yes for the transfer..

Cant wait for tentatively 7 months for the passport. Also, not sure why I need to pay 150$ foe a single passport or for the delays at Service Canada..

I will keep the forum posted with the updates..
Thanks

Did they charge your CC prior to the transfer? If so, do you remember when? We have similar timelines, but no CC charge yet for me
