Canadians report lengthy passport processing as interest in travel rebounds

Chepita had begun the process of renewing her children's passports back in February, sending the applications by mail, and only received her son's on Wednesday.Her experience will sound familiar to many Canadians, some of whom have reported waiting in long lines at passport officesAfter issuing only 363,000 passports between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021, Employment and Social Development Canada, which oversees Service Canada, says this rose to nearly 1.
