In general for those who wants the new passport: This is your last chance to get the old design, you will get the new design or a newer design upon renewal in 5 or 10 years. And the new design is not as classic anyways. Just saying :)
My thoughts precisely. We'll get the new design in the future anyway... might as well cherish the old design till then.
 
Me! Got the new version.

I just picked up my passport today at Sinclair Center (Vancouver). Applied last Thu, Aug 10th in Richmond, BC and opted for express. Pick-up is in Sinclair Center a week after.
Thanks for sharing this info! Finally, there is a chance to get a new design in the Vancouver area

Applied in Burnaby yesterday, and really hope I can get the old version

I was thinking the same thing, though I think new ones have a polymer bio page, and the old one is a slightly laminated paper, so that's one point for the new one.
 
Applied in person in Vancouver (Sinclair Center) on August 18th, regular processing. Received passport in mail today - August 31st. Old design - YAY!

Hi! Anyone in Montreal who applied for passport and received the new design? Care to share the processing office location in Montreal? Thanks!
 
Hey guys, I was planning to do walk-in for my newborn's passport in Hamilton. Wondering what's the latest time when they stop taking people. I mean if the passport office closes at 4pm, can i be there at 3.55pm and still get accepted? TIA

Vancouver walk-in application on Hastings. Arrived at 9.30 am, no wait whatsover. In and out, in under 10 mins total. Despite mentioning travel in October, they refused any expedited passport application (need to travel in September to be offered that apparently). Earliest I was offered was week of Sept 19th mail-in application or for 20 dollars extra I can have guaranteed pick up on Sept 19th from that office.

If you were done from work at 4pm and someone shows up to your desk at 3:55pm for your help, will you be happy or annoyed at them? Lol
