That's what we're going to have get if CIC take their time in requesting our passports, a blooming emergency one for her!! :)

You're going to have to check out the consulates to get your emergency passport...We live in Alberta and the closer consulate for us is BC!!

You have to apply in person - can't you just go there on Monday?

http://ukincanada.fco.gov.uk/en/help.../urgent-travel

This is the form you will be required to fill in: http://centralcontent.fco.gov.uk/res...cas-canada.pdf

It's an emergency travel document and not an emergency passport, but will get you home.

:)

You need to have proof of flights etc with you or they will not issue you with an emergency travel document.

If you don't follow the instructions then you are not going to be in much luck.

Is it going to be left to me to point out that Britain does not have an embassy in Canada?

I don't think you can come back on an emergency travel document, although you might be able to get another one in London for the return trip.

No expert though.

BTW, what happened to your original passport?
