Passport question

[albertamommyof4]

we are trying to plan a trip to disneyland and will need passports, we have never got them before or even been out of canada as a family .
How long does it take to get them back.
We don't have a center here so we will have to mail them in.
Thanks

It all depends how busy they are.

We were first timers last year. We did the online forms, had all our documents together, and went in person to the office in Edmonton on about December 6. We had our passports by Christmas. We went to WDW in March so we had plenty of time.

The only problem with mailing is if you forget something or if clarification is needed, you lose the time spend in transit back and forth.

Best of luck.

Mailing it could take up to 6 wks. longer if something is incorrect or if they want something more or explained.

well i have till april 19th to recieve them but maybe a day trip tp edmonton isn't a bad idea lol, if i don't take a trip tp edmonton then i am thinking to express post them and at least they will get them faster.
Thank you

Remember if your flying out of Canada you need a passport, but if your flying from state to state you don't need one until June 2009.

Thanks though

I went to the main post office and for $20 they will check that everything is OK with your application. I just took mine in this week and they told me it will be 20 working days until I get my passports back.
