Service Canada says it has seen a big boost in demand for passport renewals, which has made for long lineups and longer waits for documents.
The federal agency aims to process passports within 20 business days for mail-in applications, but right now the wait is averaging 26 days.“I don’t understand why some people get it in a few weeks or in a month and other people don’t,” Irving said.Air Canada’s sales spiked in March as travel restrictions eased, pushing bookings to 90 per cent of 2019 levels, according to the airline’s quarterly earnings report.
“The government of Canada recognizes that during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadians had other things on their minds and planning to renew their passports was not a priority,” the agency said in a statement. People who plan to travel within the next month have been pushed to the front of the queue, and the agency says staff are working overtime and weekends to get through as many travel documents as possible.
