I went as a walk-in to apply for a passport in Vancouver. I arrived at 7:30 am (they open at 8:30 am) and was done at 9:30 am. Not sure what it's like in the afternoon, but if you are attending in the morning, try to get first thing. I heard they start letting people in at 7 am.

Thanks. My partner is going to apply these days, also Vancouver. Was is it already a big line when you came at 7:30am? Was that the Sinclair office?

I arrived at 7:30, they let me in at 7:30. I overheard that they started letting people in at 7 am though. They just let you into a waiting area where you go through triage first (around 8 am) where they make sure you have all required documents. Then they take you to a different room where you are issued a number. You wait for your number to show up on a screen. That's when you see an officer.

Nothing to worry. This is a known phenomena (tracker stops working closer to the oath date). It would start working again couple of days after the oath.

Interesting! My mom's oath email and oath date are 16 days apart while yours is only 5 days. Are you opting for e-certificate or the paper one?

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone else is in the same boat as me. I received AOR on March 05, 2022 for my application sent on January 21,2022 online, but I haven't received any updates since then. I'm just wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation?

Office: Vancouver
Location: Vancouver
I am in the same boat, no updates since AOR
