Helloo, passport is due for renewal and I was wondering how you go about it from Canada. Any advice welcome, thanks

Download form from web or pick it up at the post office. Get photographs taken. Post it away. Wait, not long at all.

Is it a British Passport or a Canadian one?

If it's British you need to send the application to Washington DC

Thanks - by picking it up from the post office due you mean an actual main office or do the ones in Shoppers drug mart have them?

michele

Sorry - it's a British Passport - not with it today!!

Elaine B.

You won't get an application for a British Passport at the post office.

I did. It was even in a Shopper's Drug Mart. I suppose it depends to some degree on the ethnicity of the neighbourhood.

Elaine B.

Oops I stand corrected Wonder what are the chances of finding a Canadian Passport application form in a UK post office are.

Slim to none I'd think but we're not a Dominion within the Canadian Empire. Kingston seems like a place with lots of Brits, if I didn't have access to a printer, I'd ask at the Post Office there. Given a printer, getting the form from the website seems easiest.

Good point

michele

That's great - did you get it from a Shoppers Drug mart in Kingston as that is where I live?

Elaine B.

You could just download the form from the website and save yourself a trip.

It's taking a little longer to get the new passport back as the application has to be sent to Washington DC. They are saying about 4-5 weeks, it used to be 10 days from Ottawa

Happy to report my application took 2 weeks via Washington from Montreal in March just gone. (That grey background for the photo was a b*****r though )
