Step 3: Pick an interview time slot online. When I did it the first availability for the YYC office was about 4-5 months, so I just booked one at the Coutts border crossing a couple weeks out and drive down. Would definitely recommend that.
Step 4: Go to the interview.
Step 5: Wait for your card in the mail.
Step 6: Take your card to one of the offices and get your eyes scanned.

The only difference now is that they do the interview and retina scan at the same time now. It takes 10 minutes.
My passport was renewed during the 7 month waiting period, and I just brought the new number one with me. The officer updated it on the spot. No big deal.
