line ups at the passport office?

Mississauga has a 2 hour line up average to submit your passport documents and if everything is in order, you can probably expect it in 2 -3 weeks (4-6 weeks if you have to submit a special form if you couldn't find any professionals to sign that they have known you for more then 2 years.) If you need it sooner, you need to show your airline tickets when you submit your documents and I think there is an additional fee.Stymie said:
My passport soon to expired. No problem with U.S. Custom & Immigration @ Pearson.
My relatives got their's in 2 wks from mail-in.
You do pay extra for the express service. You don't need to show airline tickets.DoingWhatIDoBest said:

wish that were to be true in Mississauga. They had a guard at the door that stopped everyone from going in @ 2:30pm because there were too many people already inside and not more people were to be permitted. The guard told everyone wanting to get in to come back another day and to make sure it was 2 hours prior to the end of the business day (4:30pm) to guarantee they will be let in.blopar said:

I always found the Mississauga office to be busy, even before the new US passport rules.
The renewed my passport at the Brampton office in Sept., only waited about 20 minutesto get to the counter. My passport was issued within 3 days, and I had it in my hands via the mail in about a week and a half

This is where have family high on up in the Canadian military comes in handy. Ask my cousin to get me one...had it in my hands within a week. 
But really should of realized that this was coming down the pipe since 9-11. That the control freaks (see American government) that would demand it. So when they started to make rumblings about an identity card (a bit Orwellian if you ask me), I snagged mine right off the hop.

Does anyone know exactly how long it takes to get your passport? I'm going to be travelling soon and I was told 3 weeks and in some cases longer.

3-4 weeks.. sometimes 2 weeks. It all depends how busy they are.
If you have already purchased tickets, it may be possible to speed up the process.. there is a spot on the application asking if you have plans to travel... but then with the rush to get passports.. who knows?!!
What a great cash cow for the government!
