Does anyone have ANY idea how one would actually get to talk to a human
being at the Canadian Consulate in Seattle?
I have a problem and need to talk to them!

I received a notice from the INS that I can now get my permanent green card
as the conditions have now been removed.
Here is my problem. I had my passport stolen! I actually had my whole purse
stolen! I need to replace it.. but I also need to get one for my son who is
now over 16. Previously he was on my passport. Also .. my OLD passport had
my maiden name on it and I am now married with another name! Do I apply with
my maiden name ? OR my married name? Do I just apply for a replacement or do
I need to start all over?
The notice didn't say when I was to go to the INS and get my green card..!!
How much time do I have? Do I have to take all of my children with me or can
I just bring their passports with me when I get them?

I really need to talk to someone and get some answers

Hi Angela...
Here's a link to the Canadian Passport website - it tells you what to do if your passport is lost or stolen...

You cannot get a Canadian passport in person. My Canadian just had to renew his passport and the Canadian Consulate was two blocks from my office. No go. They would not do it. You have to write to either the province of Quebec if you need to have the passport and you are not residing in Canada but in the US. The form is explicit and you must have original proofs of photo identity which must accompany the application. It will be returned to you. Plus you will need to have the form signed by a professional who knows you for x number of years, i.e. attorney, doctor, pharmacist, etc.

Good Luck

I already know all of that...
BUT it states on the website that you can have someone AT the consulate be
the guarantor for your application!
what do you mean "proofs" of photo identity??
I Still need questions answered.. do I use my maiden name since I am getting
a replacement passport OR do I simply reapply with my married name?
oh well guess I will have to call quebec...

thanks

Angela

If I am remembering the website correctly and the instructions you are not applying for a replacement or a renewal but a new passport regardless of the name change. If you are currently using your married name officially as your surname, I, personally, would use the married name and not the surname. As for proofs, Jim had to include his military I card from Canada and his Ontario health card and his New York State Identification card. All were returned to him. He had a major problem because his Quebec BC was issued before the change over and was not acceptable for a passport. He had to send to Quebec for a new BC and they held his application until he returned the new BC to them. Strangely, they would not send it to the Quebec office but mailed it to him and then he had to turn around and mail it back to them. Go figure.

imkimmy

Angela-

My husband had to get a replacement for his lost Canadian passport. Be sure to tell them your passport is lost, as there is a notation in Stant's passport saying, "***This passport replaces passport NOXXXXXXXX Issued at <city> reported lost.***"

In the application it lists a phone number for Seattle: 206-443-1777. The instructions say, "Do not bring your application form to a Canadian mission in the USA. Passport application forms and other related forms are available at..." then it lists the offices.

Hope this helps.

Kimberly

Angela Morrison

yes again.. I already know all this info.. thanks

Does the consulate not answer the phone?
I don't understand.
What happens when you call the phone number listed for them?

Gigiola

I don't know if this is feasable for you, but when I divorced and returned to my maiden name, I had the British Consulate add, on one page, "formerly known as ..... "

I did this, originally, to avoid complications when travelling with my daughter, but it was immensely useful at other times too.

Susie

When I said GO IN PERSON... I meant so you can speak to someone in person to answer your questions... that's what you were asking wasn't it?

Susie

Angela Morrison

I get recorded messages..
none of them pertain to my questions.. except for the usual passport ones..

ive already decided I will just send in my forms..with the ID that I DO have
and see what happens.. since I cant get the help I need at the consulate..

thanks
