They request the passport near the beginning of the process. If the applicant is lucky and their case is not complicated, and they don't request new documents, medicals or an interview, it can be quite quick.qt_gummy02 said:Do you have any idea why CEM holds the passport for a year? I'm just about to file the application here in Canada but I read here that some applicants got their passport after 8 moths or a year.
