He’ll have to go pick it up in person.
Me and my boyfriend have been living together for 3 years now. and we had to file our taxes as common law though. we are trying to get passports for our trip. his passport is new and mine is a renewal. we are not registering as common law or have plans to. the only thing that is in both of our names is our apartment. nothing else. do we put single down or common law for martial status even though we do not have a certificate or plan to get one?
You can put “single” if you like.
When I take my pictures and application to the passport office do I get my passport right away?
No, not unless you pay for same day processing. But usually you get it much faster than when you submit the application by mail.
The normal processing time for mailed applications is 20 business days, while it’s 10 business days for normal walk-in applications. However, in our experience renewal applications are regularly processed well before the 10 business day requirement.
You can pay for next day or same day service as well. (There is no “while you wait” service available.)
I was born in Canada, a First Nation Indian, I have lived in the US all my life. I have used my secure native card to cross the border all my life.I need a passport to take a cruise with my wife.Can I travel to Ontario and apply for a passport,and have it delivered to the States
That’s a good question.
When you apply from the States it’s by mail and the passport is mailed to you.
When you apply in person in Canada the passport is mailed to you but I have no idea if they accept a foreign address. You could try. Or you could contact them first.

So you have to renew the passport wherever you are.

Yes, as long as your passport is still valid you can travel back to Canada to renew it.
Hi does my British born child travelling with his Canadian national mother require a Canadian passport to access the Canadian borders?
Yes, it’s easier to enter Canada with a Canadian passport.
First, you need to get your child a citizenship certificate.
And once you have that, you can get him his passport.
If that is taking too long, you can apply for an eTA for him with his British passport. But if they find out he’s a Canadian citizen this eTA application will be denied.
Can a person with a mental disability that can’t sign their own name get a canadian passport
Yes you can. You can get a family member over the age of 18 to complete the form for you. In non-pandemic times, you should go in person with the family member to a Passport Canada office if you can.
