This is probably more a cautionary tale than anything...but curious to know if anyone else has had a similar experience. My travel partner's passport expires 5 months after the end of our trip and one of the ports we are visiting requires 6 months. She applied for a renewal on April 13, was told that she would have the passport the week of May 23...we travel July 6. She just called the passport office today and found out that her application hasn't even been touched yet, and it doesn't look good
@sydbarrett and @OttawaJohn, CTV Ottawa this evening had an item on the long lines at most passport locations, but reported that Cornwall, Prescott and Brockville have no lineups at all. That may change after airing the story, but if getting into a passport office might help you in your quests, these are venues you should consider.
