Those who have passed their tests 3-4 months ago but have not heard back since the test, have you called the immigration office? Do they say something useful? Should I call them as well?

Yes you can call them, they’ll say exactly what you see on your online tracker. And will, in all probability, say everything is in order and the office will contact you if they need anything.

If your background check is still not done they might say, we need your fingerprints and ask you to wait for email from the office.

My online application tracker says I have oath Ceremony scheduled for 10th June and I should get an email about oath Instruction. This update was about a week ago.

However I haven't received any email about Oath date or Instruction. Should I be worried ?

Hi I want to how you apply expedite passport? Is only flight tickets are ok ?

So there are three options:
1. If you need the passport within the next 2 days.
2. If you need the passport within 3-25 days
3. If you need the passport within 26+ days.

In the first two cases you need to visit one of 35 specialized Passport Canada centers and provide a proof of travel OR need (doesn't have to be a ticket as you may need the passport for something other than travel e.g. a job application abroad).

Visits to the Passport Canada centers are either via prior online booking or via walk-in. For option 1 above, you will only opt for walk-in (be prepared for a long line-up in most of these centers). An appointment would give you priority over walk-ins waiting to be served.

For option 3 above, you could send in your application by mail.

Hi @Zabooster where can i find the 35 specialized passport centers?

Hey @Manny02! Good to hear from you. Here are the ones in Alberta:

• Calgary Centre Service Canada Centre and Passport Services
• Edmonton Service Canada Centre - Passport Services
• Calgary Sundance Service Canada Centre and Passport Services Urgent pick-up service not offered

So in Calgary, it's best to just head to the Harry Hays Building.

Since it's a Monday, I need to know in advance if I need to take a day off of work or not...

Thanks!
