Lost Citizenship - Just sent out new application for a replacement and noticed that the wait time is 6 Months!!!!
I need to get a passport sooner and need to travel in the next month or so.
What are my options?
I had a temporary passport issued to me 3 years ago but that's now expired.

Based on the information on the Passport Canada web site, it sounds like you may be out of luck.

As an adult, you must submit proof of citizenship unless you qualify to renew a passport.

You may renew if your most recent Canadian passport:

is still valid or expired for no more than one year;
is in the same name as your current application;
was issued with 5-year or 10-year validity;
is not damaged;
was never reported lost or stolen; and
you were at least 16 years old at the time of your previous application.
