I worked with a Lady by the name of Faith Tetlow. She helped me get my passport renewal completed. I know by the news there is such a mess with Canada Passport Help being very overwhelmed with passports being needed. I want to thank Faith because she contacted Canada Passport Help on my behalf and got answers and I received my passport 13 days prior to travel with non refundable tickets. Thank Faith, outstanding job.

From website: Urgent and express service submitted at a passport office You must apply for urgent and express services in person. These services aren't available at all locations. Check the service location map to find out which passport offices offer the service you need. You need proof of travel for urgent service. You may also need this proof for express service. Additional fees apply. Service Standards for urgent and express service : urgent pick-up: by the end of the next business day express pick-up: 2 to 9 business days We try our best to meet our service standards but we aren’t liable for any losses as a result of the passport not being issued or delivered to you or your child in time for your travel. We recommend you don’t finalize any travel plans until you get the passport issued to you.

Rudolph Cheung | Aug 24, 2021

Yes, i need an appointment to go into consulate. Am I allowed? Since you are closed for covid. Here is my siutation. I am getting married with a Canadian citizen next week in Vegas Nevada. I thoroughly triple checked your IRCC or entry to Canada website and found that showing proof of being an immediately member of a citizen can enter, quarantine , then may stay in the country for up to 6 months without a visa or special permission. Am I correct? I also need to ship my car to my fiancee's address. Any problem i may face or any issues that i need to be aware of? That's why i need to go into the consulate to talk to someone in person or at least a live person on the phone to be assured. Or anyone out here can give me good advice? Spent hours of time and still couldn't get a reliable answer!

Is someone with a past DUI in the US who has cleared all the charges and paid all his dues 5 years ago, and is in perfect status , is that person allowed to enter canada without any problems ? what's the deal?? Thank you very much!

From website: I was convicted of driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Can I enter Canada? If you’ve been convicted of driving while impaired, you may be inadmissible to Canada for serious criminality. This means that you generally can’t enter Canada. If that’s the case, there are options for you to enter Canada temporarily, or to become admissible again. To enter Canada temporarily A temporary resident permit (TRP) could allow you to enter Canada temporarily. To get a TRP: you must prove that your reason for travelling to Canada is justified. you’ll have to pay the C$200 processing fee. There’s no guarantee you’ll be allowed to enter or stay in Canada. To become admissible again There is a way you may be able to become admissible to Canada again. If you’re no longer inadmissible, you could enter Canada without having to get a TRP every time you want to come back. This is called criminal rehabilitation. You can apply for criminal rehabilitation if: you meet the eligibility

Emma Al | Aug 25, 2019

To renew a passport at Canadian Consulate, it needs to be for an emergency only. First, show proof of travel within the next few days. Otherwise, you need to renew your passport by mail.The Canadian Consulate can provide you with the forms, no need for appointment. Or you can upload and print the forms. Don't wait for your passport to expire more than a year because the criteria for a guarantor are strict ! https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/renew-adult-passport/how.html
