Debbie,
You might want to consider asking them to send the application back and go stand in line, if at all possible. I hear that the line-ups are MUCH better than when I tried them out back in March (in the order of an hour or two, rather than eight or more!). I don't think I'd trust getting her passport back by August.

2 children's passports - into Post Office, April 13
Received *one* today - June 12...
Hoping for the other ...tomorrow...??
I cannot imagine what the backlog is going to be like next winter
That doesn't make sense Mine were received by Passport Canada on March 22nd (I have the courier receipt to prove it)! Why are they processing applications from April, while they still haven't "opened files" for my DDs or me? I am starting to worry...
We had the kids' non-expired passports included in the application for a new ones...and since PC has finally started accepting passports as valid proof of id, maybe this sped the process along...??
We could not apply for new passports (still applications, not a renewal process) online for the kids.
They did tell us at the Post Office, and (at the time) on the website PC said that it would take 6 weeks for us to receive them, and not to contact PC until that time had expired.
HTH! And let us know what happens
We applied for our passports 2 weeks ago and we were told something i find kind of interesting..our agent told us she had heard calling to check on your passports will/can actually slow down the process...she recommended us not to check on ours til the end of august I dont know if this is true, but i dont know if i want to take any chances calling too early now....
