yep, its true

was 4th person on the pre-screen line, dude gives me a number and tells me it might be 10 minutes....anyone that has been to scarbough town centre knows....300 people in seats and people camped out by the elevators....

i turn to this hot girl and she tells me 1 hour, i said really, dude told me 10 mins....so i look at the board, look at my ticket and holy crap its me!!! look at the empty kiosk and run over, and poof 10 minutes tops, on a monday, at lunch!

i left and man, dirty looks, said goodbye to the hot chick on the way out!

Passport Online (http://www.ppt.gc.ca/can/pol_on-line_form.aspx?lang=e)

You fill it in online but you still have to print it out and bring it to the passport office.

However the computer-printed one gives you priority in line.

I've read a lot of anecdotes about huge lineups, 4 hour waits and people lining up at 3am in the morning....but I was in the passport office in Toronto (I'm assuming it's one of the busiest offices in Canada since it IS Toronto) and i only had to wait 1 hour and 30 minutes on a Tuesday afternoon (I went there at 2:30pm).

+ note....the passport office called my doctors office 2x to verify info, is this normal??? my wife works for my doctor so she told me they had called!

why leave so early when there is a hot chick sitting beside you?

not a good decision to do it online :)

Well since the online is for adults only, can I register an adult passport on the site, and then go to the express line to complete it, and complete two kid passports at the same time? Or would I have to go to the normal line in order to complete the kid ones?
