Over the last 10 months, the Government of Canada has worked to provide faster, more convenient passport services for Canadians closer to their homes. This includes the launch of the 10-day passport pick-up service at 13 Service Canada Centres across the country. Those centers have processed over 66,000 passport applications. 

The Government’s service delivery standard is 10 days to process in-person passport applications received at a specialized passport office and 20 days for applications received by mail or dropped off at a Service Canada Centre. Because of additional staffing, increased overtime and improved efficiency, Service Canada is delivering most passports by its 10- and 20-day targets, achieving a 96% and 98% rate (for complete applications), respectively.
