Yea, it took me 190-ish calls to get through to them yesterday. Unfortunately just have to set some time aside to do it. Definitely frustrating. There were only 60 or so ahead of me (at about 4pm PST) which took about 45 minutes.
I think it is easier to getbin during office hours as people are calling less when working. I strted at 0730 sharp more than 300 times and it went through around 10 am

It has been a month since the card got charged Apr 6th. App got delivered March 14th. Let us see what happens in another 2 weeks. Still hesitant to spend $1000 on flight tickets and accommodation for getting this PP faster! Can I just go to Detroit and call that as a travel emergency? In-fact I need to close an American bank account in the near future for which I need to travel to Detroit. I live near Windsor.

Over phone i was told 1 day. She said there is no guarantee that it will transfer because passport office can reject transfer.
It takes 4-5 business days for transfer
one day is for passport office to accept your transfer . post that your physical forms need to be transferred

Hi Team.
I need your opinion.
My passport application delivered to Gatineau on April 6,2022 and cc charged on may 5.
How long more it will take?
Does cc charged means application is approved?

thank you

No, your card being charged does not mean it's approved. It means that they started processing it though.
