Canadian passport mailing time

The processing time for a Canadian passport can vary depending on the type of application, the workload of Passport Canada, and the speed at which you need the passport. Here are some general guidelines:

Routine Service:

• Processing time: 8-11 weeks
• This is the standard processing time for a Canadian passport application. You can expect to receive your passport in 8-11 weeks from the date you submit your application.

Expedited Service:

• Processing time: 5-7 weeks
• If you need your passport more quickly, you can pay an additional fee for expedited service. This will reduce the processing time to 5-7 weeks.

Express Service:

• Processing time: 2-3 weeks
• This is the fastest processing option available. You can expect to receive your passport in 2-3 weeks from the date you submit your application. This service is only available for an additional fee.

In-Person Service:

• Processing time: Same-day or next-day
• If you apply in person at a Passport Canada office, you can receive your passport on the same day or the next day, depending on the office's workload.

Online Application:

• Processing time: 8-11 weeks
• If you apply online, your application will be processed in 8-11 weeks. You will need to print and sign your application, and then mail it to Passport Canada.

Mailing Time:

• Once your application is processed, it will be mailed to you via Canada Post. The mailing time will depend on your location and the type of mail service used. Here are some general guidelines:

• Expedited mail: 1-2 business days

• Xpresspost: 2 business days

• Regular mail: 3-5 business days

Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and processing times may vary depending on the specific circumstances of your application. It's always a good idea to check the status of your application online or by contacting Passport Canada directly.
