Finally, I've got my passport! Below is the updated timeline:

Location: Whitehorse, Yukon
Passport Office: Vancouver
Apps sent: 22 Apr 2021
Apps delivered: 29 Apr 2021
Call from Passport Office: 05 May 2021
CC charged: 05 May 2021
Tracking #s: 10 May 2021
Passport Sent: 07 May 2021
Passport Received: 14 May 2021
Cert Sent: 10 May 2021
Cert Received: 13 May 2021

Note about the Cit Cert. It came back very creased and I was very disappointed. I recommend sending it with a cardboard folder or plastic protector and request the Passport Program officer to return it to you with the folder/protector so that it comes back still presentable. I was extremely dismayed when the mailman bent the envelope containing the cert to my smallish mailbox. I wish there was a stamp or mark on the envelope that said "important document, do not fold, bend or crumple..."

Thanks! Maybe put a paper note or a Post-It note requesting that the Cit Cert be returned with the folder/protector. I haven't tried it myself, but there's not harm in requesting that.

Just curious if we get the passport in our mail box or do we need to go to canada post to get it?

That is a long time given I see others getting credit card charged in 4 to 6 days after receipt of application. Have you received any calls from them?
