Re: UK passports renewal (while in canada)
Wow, on one hand I got a letter asking for the old passport to be sent by 22 May , otherwise the renewal application will be withdrawn which caused us quite alot of stress. Today my wifes new passport arrived - so pleased and relieved. Sent 8th April, receieved 17th May = around 6 weeks.

Re: UK passports renewal (while in canada)
Hi Nonie 50, I renewed my UK passport earlier this year (2022). I applied online and submitted my actual Canadian and other documentation using regular Canada Post mail service. I did not bother with express, courier, or tracked services but I've always been a cheapskate. I did get a bit concerned but my new passport turned up eventually and a couple of weeks later was followed by my returned Canadian passport. For the photograph I used the digital service from Shoppers Drug Mart, a little expensive at $30+ but it was easy and I saved on the cheap mail service.
Happy New Year... almost.

Thank you.
I admire your bravery to send the docs by regular mail, but comforting to know it worked ok.
cheers

You only need to send a copy of your Canadian passport (if you have one), not the original. I entirely forgot to send my US passport, or even a copy, (I prepared the form, photographs, and put everything in an envelope, just needing a cheque and copy of my US passport, then several weeks later, while in the UK, I popped a cheque in the envelope and mailed it ) and still received my new UK passport in the US a couple of weeks later; that was four years ago.

Thank you very much. Fingers crossed mine will be as easy too
