Very Fast UK Passport Service in Canada!!!
I just wanted to share with everyone that now seems to be a good time to renew or apply for your British Passports here in Canada. I got mine in 7 business days!! (You apply to the British High Commission in Ottawa). Mine was a renewal and my child's was a first UK Passport. Cost almost $500 for both but so fast!!!!
Thanks and best regards to everyone

Hi, Did'nt need to do the thumb print stuff (Yet!) Just make sure you have YOUR UK 'Long form' birth certificate with your parents names on for your childrens applications. Will be expensive for three children! Worth it though

Hi, Our new Passports that I just received from Ottawa do have the 'Chip' in the back of them. They charged $15 combined postage for both Passports.

Re: Very Fast UK Passport Service in Canada!!!
Well I got my sons biometric pp in Gambia overnight - they did a great job.
The biometric part is to do with the photo. There are a whole series of ratios - distance between ears to eyes and so on that creates a digital sequence whioch can be compared with a photo taken when you are going through immigration. No DNA, no fingerprints just numbers!

Re: Very Fast UK Passport Service in Canada!!!

Please Help!!! as i've called around town and NO ONE does the blank backing, It ALL has writing on it....figures I have no luck, I thought this would be the easiest thing!!
TIA

I'd also check the passport application form and see what the instructions are for photos.

I've never heard anybody mention that I had my picture taken at a place on Queen Street in Toronto called Downtown camera and they were accepted no problem you could call them and ask.
