PASSPORT CANADA UPDATES PROCESSING TIMES

Passport Canada has advised that its processing times are updated on a regular basis. Processing times may change depending on the volume of applications received and are not guaranteed. Applicants should keep in mind that processing times do not take delivery times into account. The complexity of routine verifications and security checks may lead to longer processing times.

Effective January 18, 2011 the processing times for Canadians living in Canada are as follows:

Options for submitting a completed application:

• In person (at a Passport Canada counter) 10 business days

• By mail 20 business days

• Through a receiving agent (Service Canada or Canada Post) 20 business days

Canadians living in the United States or Bermuda and Canadians living abroad should contact Passport Canada for proper information.
For urgent and express pick-up, proof of travel may be required. Passport Canada will take appropriate
action on a case-by-case basis. Please note, that urgent service is not available at the all the locations.
