Canadian Passport - Mail-In Application Timelines

[CaBeaver]

Update this morning. My MP office was able to contact the passport office and my passport will be printed today and mailed in one to four business days. I am told I should receive the password at the latest the Tuesday following Easter weekend. The MP office also said to contact let them know if I don’t receive it.

Great news. Congrats. Your MP is great and cares. Mine didn't even respond. It's been two days since I sent him

is the problem only with Gatineu office only?
iam not hearing much complains from Missisauga or Halifax offices

Sent mine to Mississauga (from BC), today is 30 business days and still no CC charge. Called last Wednesday and file is under examination.

I sent a copy of my drivers license for proof of identity. My guarantor signed the front but I didn’t ask him to sign the back. So yes, the said it had to be signed.

Thanks, but did they ask you to just mail them the missing info, or did they ask you to re-submit a new application?

They may be off for a few days. That happened to me once. I am in BC. The office is open three days a week.
I hope you hear something soon.

They told me to fax missing info. Fax was busy two days so I sent it fedex.

I understand your frustration. If it's of any consolation, my CC was charged almost 4 weeks ago, and still nothing. They can charge CC and print the passport in a span of few days, i.e., CC charge means little if anything.

Thank you for this, and yes, I understand charing CC doesn't mean much (unfortunately), but I can't help feel even further behind when no movement has happened for me after almost six weeks of submitting my application. I hope things happen quickly for everyone!

Yes, if you apply via in-mail. For in-person, you don't have to as the office will verify it against the original

I mad a mestak I sign a copy of my driver lisence and my guarantor is out of country I have 4 weeks waiting I called she say all documents looks good but I don’t know what can happen
