In early November, Service Canada put a temporary hold on mailing out passport packages after November 8, 2024.
In an update on Wednesday, Stefanovska explained that as of December 1, approximately 185,000 passports that were printed and ready to be mailed are being held by Service Canada. "Added up, all the demands in CUPW's latest offers would cost more than $3 billion over four years, at a time when the postal service is already recording large financial losses," stated the postal service. "Some of the big-ticket items include wage increases and staffing changes."ESDC said the hundreds of thousands of passports on hold will be mailed out once the labour disruption is over and regular mail service resumes.
For anyone requesting a transfer, the pickup date is arranged based on their travel date or need. ESDC says the pickup could even be arranged for the same day for urgent situations.
