Hi all! We have our citizenship ceremony on May 7 and want to travel end June. hence we’re thinking of utilizing the express pick up option (2-9 business days) for our passports at Surrey central service Canada location. My questions are:

  1. do we need to have travel plans booked to show as proof? We haven’t booked things because of the uncertainty with the passport but want to travel end June and would prefer to buy flight tix after getting the passport in hand

  2. is it worth paying the $50 each person for express pick up? or should we just do the 10 business day pick up ($20 each application)? our goal is to have our passports by end May latest.

  3. how early should we go to Surrey central service Canada location on a Tuesday/wednesday? Are the lineups really bad? wondering if we need a full day off work or half day will suffice.

thanks for any insights!
