hey guys! becoming more active on this thread as I had my Oath yesterday. I have tried to search my question here but have not found: does anybody know whether I can book an appointment for my passport (I need it for an essential travel happening in 20 days from now) before receiving my citizenship certificate? I have requested IRCC to expedite my citizenship certificate, but wanted to know whether I could potentially book the passport from 1 week from now to ensure I'll have my passport by then. Thanks!
You can apply for in person processing at passport Canada office in vicinity.
You should call pasaport Canada and explain them a situation. The agent will give you an appointment for in person submission. Take appointment today (perhaps keep a good buffer of 7 days from today for receipt of certificate in time). Take your photographs (shoppers draugmart is doing photos). Fill passport application (leave citizenship certificate number for now, once you get certificate fill up and print for your signature and guarantor signature). Fill up guarantor and reference details beforehand (you need to find 1 guarantor and 2 references who have known you for more than 2 years). Your guarantor will have to sign your pasaport application (check passport application for details). So you have to have guarantor ready to sign your application + copies of your documents (I think for in person appointment they verify your ids on spot).
For in person appointment you need to provide travel details (ticket). I have covered everything I remember but below is the link to passport program website:
I sent a webform yesterday asking about my passport and they emailed me back with a tracking number. It was sent yesterday morning, but the tracking doesn't provide an estimated delivery. Likely, hopefully Monday but surely next week.

I remember including an Xpresspost envelop when I applied for my kid's passport. This was before the pandemic. It's good that they don't require this anymore!

It literally says the certificate came back with the passport... plus, you CANNOT apply for passports without certificates, the application form asks for your certificate number.
