Received my passport today. I applied from Toronto, here’s my full timeline:
- Application sent - Sept 11
- Delivered - Sept 13
- Credit Card charged - Sept 20
- Citizenship certificate returned - Sept 28th
- Passport received Oct 5th
Took 3 weeks in total and was overall fairly straightforward. However, I hope this process will be digitized by the time I’m due for a renewal in 2033 to speed things up. Of course, only consider this method if you’re CERTAIN you have no travel plans in 30 business days, and are okay without making any spontaneous trips.
That’s a wrap for my Canadian immigration journey. This forum has been such an excellent resource and I’m forever grateful to everyone for sharing so generously.
Signing out now, best wishes to all.
Cheers!
