In-person (walk-in) services are open for new passport applications but depends on the office. Damn.

Delivered via Xpresspost to Gatineau, QC - June 21
CC charged by Passport Canada Kelowna, BC - July 7
Citizenship certificate returned - July 19
Passport received - July 20

WTH. My passport was processed in BC even if I'm in ON, so this may explain the delay by a few days lol.

Congrats! I guess that concludes your journey!

But why your passport was processed in Kelowna, BC is beyond me.

Good luck and all the very best!

My citizenship certificate arrived today so I'm ready to apply for my passport.

The Service Canada offices reopening is a very interesting development - I feel like I should check with my local office to see if I can submit my application there rather than mailing it off.

Yup. Submitting it in-person might shave some time off the total processing time. It is even better if you submit it directly at a passport office (if there is one located close by) instead of submitting it in Service Canada.

I received my certificate yesterday and I'm thinking the same. If you get some more info please share, I'll do the same!

Those were my thoughts too! Unfortunately the nearest Passport Office is not close by, so Service Canada will have to do.

Absolutely I will drop in first thing tomorrow with my application and see what they say.

Thanks! Just to follow with the randomness of this whole citizenship application I suppose. All the best!

I had mailed in my passport application on June 17th and called the center to check on my application today. The agent informed me that there was an omission in the application and they had not called the guarantor yet. For some reason, she asked me for details about the guarantor again. Asked my guarantor to call a certain number and finally informed me that it would take 2-3 weeks more. phew.

I just got back from my local Service Canada location (not a Passport Office). I was able to submit my application there and pay the fees. The anticipated mail out date for the passport is mid August.

I'm in Alberta. No appointment necessary; I just walked in.
