Hi again,Just wanted to give an update and some advice.
Well it was Sept. 20 when I sent them Express post, still haven't got them back yet. There was a charge on my credit card for 3 out of 4 applications on Oct 13. On Monday oct 31 I had a phone call from the "Inquiry Office" letting me know the expiry date on my card has expired. I said thanks, but Passport Canada already charged my credit card his reply was "oo". So he said he'll fix it and send it back over to the other department for final exceptance.
As for my expiry date it was 09/05 when I applied and I didn't get my new card till Sept 28, guess I should have waited.
Now for my DD application... she will turn 16 on Nov 16, so I was told to apply for her as a child on or before Nov 16. Oct 26 I got her documents and application back. Reason "Long Form Birth Certificate" required. (never heard of this
) so I called PC and the guy was really rude!!! So now I need one of these because my DD was born before DH & I were married! Now I'm starting to sweat as time is counting down. So I order the certificate$37, it comes back saying requires name amendment for another $20 I have to fix one letter in DH middle name as it doesn't match his Birth Certificate. 
Ok fine BUT to do this we need a copy of his Birth Certificate, where's that... somewhere @ Passport Canada(AHHHH!!!! 
) That could take up to 10 days to order him a new BC for a charge of $25. We have now decided to make a trip to Calgary and take hers into the registry office and we will wait till her b day and just apply as an adult. This way we will at least have her BC incase the passport doesn't come in time to get to WDW! Anyways just wanted to vent and share that with you.
I have a friend who recently had a child and they are not married, so I told her when ordering the BC, to make sure she orders the long-form one because at some point in this kids life they will need it and it will be a bigger pain later than now. She said she never would have even considered ordering the long-form one if I hadn't told her about this. I think that the provincial govt should just make it mandatory that when ordering BC's for newborns, that you pay a price and get both formats. It would certainly alleviate many future problems as passports become mandatory to have.
