I didn't have to stand in line. Walked into the office, gave my on-line completed documents, photos, and paid the fee to the pre-screening officer, she said thank you, and I turned around and walked out. It took 2 minutes.

Application by snail mail takes a long time.... even if there are no problems. If there are problems with your application... you'll be waiting forever.

My wife, who works at Passport Canada, suggests you try Costco. They do an excellent job on their photos here in Calgary and it may be the same in the USA.

She does say to print off the photo specifications from Passport Canada's website and take that with you. If it is not exactly the required size, it will be rejected.

If Costco has a problem with the requirements, she says go to a professional photographer. Again, take the PPC photo requirements with you.

Note: I doubt that the photographers in the USA will have the required stamp for the back of the photo, but according to the PPC website, it is acceptable if you hand write the information.

Yeah, got it renewed during the summer to go to Europe. Although, if you go to Belgium you hardly need it.

Thats a BS country that one.
