We just went in person to the passport center in Whitby. It took just one hour for the whole process and then they got the passport in 7 days. SLA for in person applications are now just 10 business days and for mail in applications, it's 20 business days.

Thank you !!

Did you book an appointment with them or was it just a walk in?

Is it worth calling the IRCC to get extra information? Or do they refuse/are unable to give more information?

Congratulations !
Do they drop the certificate in your mail box or do you have to be present to take the certificate? I live in the apartment and sometimes the buzzer isn't great to work with...

They put in your mailbox. It is best to talk to your concierge, just alert them. Better safe than sorry. Good luck.

I have seen both cases. LPP completed together and separately as well. Prohibitions are sort of security checks(other than what they do in BG and only god knows).
