Yeah looks like the entire passport office went on holidays at the same time lol. I think these days it’ll be done closer to 2-3 weeks after the CC charge. I imagine also more applications coming in as more oaths are administered plus other citizens applying for renewals.
I guess your and my application is stuck at the same stage. Keep us posted this week if you receive something or you call them back again. I will do the same. I am hoping may be we will get some update this week. fingers crossed.

No I never called and do not plan to contact them unless it’s been unreasonably well past 20 business days, which isn’t until the end of the month for me. Maybe you have me confused with someone else?

App sent: June 2, 2021
App received: June 4, 2021
CC Charged: June 11, 2021
Called Passport Canada and got the tracking number: June 30, 2021
Passport shows delivered: July 2, 2021 but there was nothing in my mailbox. Raised a ticket with Canada Post and Passport Canada and they were going to look into this. Canada post called me on July 9, 2021 and said they haven't found my package yet and they will continue to investigate.

Finally yesterday some kind soul living 1 block away knocked on my door and handed me my package containing Canadian Passport and citizenship certificate. I still cannot believe why Canada Post will deliver a signed for package containing such sensitive documents to a totally different address and shove it in mailbox.

I am relieved that I got my passport and certificate. I hope the process of getting the passport goes smoothly for everyone.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Delivering a passport to a wrong address and that too shoving it in the mail box is beyond abysmal. I'm glad you received your passport without any issues.

Congrats and all the very best!

Hello everyone,

I know it does not matter where it comes from. Just wondering
