I think SD got ripped off. It says their passport is $67 plus $30 execution fee.....and an extra $60 for Expedited Service....$157 total.

damn post office.
I paid 200 after writing a check to the post office.

I think Im going to have to get another one soon.. it doesnt expire for two more years.. but every country I fly through, especially in africa likes to stamp huge multiple stamps everywhere.. and every visa takes up a full page. not including the entry stamp of course. I have used up 41 of the 48 pages in my passport. yikes.

Sportsdude · Jul 04 07 02:36

48 pages? Mine only has 16.

Russ · Jul 04 07 02:39

Standard Canadian passport is 24 pages including the crap at the beginning with picture and other unneccessary stuff.

Because I travel all the time to do with work I get the 48 page one. I usually fill them up within 2-3 years.. they are good for 5.

Wow Russ! Impressive, but totally expected with your "line" of work. So, how many immigrants have you brought over to Canada lately?

Russ · Jul 04 07 02:46

LOL! No need to 'import'.. hehe.

So how are you going to get yours? Line up for half your life or send it in by mail and wait half your life?

purelife · Jul 04 07 02:49

I'm going to give up half my life to lining up. I prefer the personal one-on-one attention to y'know, "speed" things up.

I'll probably head out to Ditchmond instead of Vancouver. This chick ain't lining up at 6am on a work day!

No importing? Are you telling me that you EXPORT!???!! OMG!

what happens when you run out of pages in the passport. Because since I'll be flying back and forth at least 4 times a year I'll run out really quickly.

Most of the time they don't stamp the passport between Canada and USA, despite that, there's a lot of places in theses 24 pages for our type of stamps.

purelife · Jul 04 07 02:54

I don't think that you'll run out SD because you're only getting stamps. Russ is special. He gets these huge stickers of these immigrants with "special" 1-900 numbers.

lol
If I get good enough grades I get to go to Belize and design a village for them.
Plus I've got to take that Europe trip sometime.

What good chortles I've had today....sometimes it's better to sit in the back row and absorb all that goes on around you...you see things you wouldn't normally see...hehehe

Isis · Jul 04 07 03:00

Surrey passport office on a Monday after 11am took me 20-30 minutes to go from street line-up, to elevator ride, to line-up ##, to ## called, to passport processed.

Not bad!

If you go right away in the morning....it takes longer because everyone thinks that way...by lunch the line-up is gone.

P.S.-Do yours online (e-passport application) print it off and go in....sooooooooooooo much faster because all the information is done for them.

purelife · Jul 04 07 03:03

I'm doing the e-app too.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll go to Slurrey instead since it's closer to my home anyways. Half hour isn't bad at all!
