Renewals and New Application Dropoff Mississauga

Firstly, please bookmark this page, or come back to it after you go to the office and comment on YOUR Experiences with lineups, service times, wait times, whether you should hide your Tim Hortons before you try to go in and all that jazz that you think you would've liked to know before you went.

Secondly, I'd like to differentiate between the different types of offices.

There are full-blown Passport Canada Offices, Receiving Agents and Canada Post Offices. The Passport Canada Offices are the ones that do everything. They'll do rush applications, you can pick up your passport from the office instead of getting it mailed to you, they can accept forms without guarantors (if you got the declaration done) and they'll probably know what's going on and be able to answer your questions better. These are the places where they aim to finish regular un-rushed passport applications in under 2 weeks. This location took 7 calendar days for mine.

Receiving Agents and Canada Post Offices are little better than mailing in your application. They might speed up your application by a week (from like 6 weeks to 5 weeks). Canada Post even makes you pay $25 extra. The advantage is that you can actually get away with not mailing away all of your important identity documents for 5 weeks if you follow the process I documented here.

The Mississauga Passport Office is the FULL SERVICE PASSPORT CANADA OFFICE type.

My experience @ Passport Canada Mississauga

I went to the Mississauga Passport Canada Office on 377 Burnhamthorpe Road East . This office is in the 2nd level of a shopping mall that has a Food Basics in it. Don't bother looking for the "377" sign, I couldn't find it, just look for the shopping plaza at the street corner, and park at the corner entrance by the Gino's pizza. Go inside, go up the stairs from there and follow the directions.
