I stalked the wait times for about a week, and then on Friday I went to the Brampton offices. Of course, my alarm didn't ring that morning, so I showed up about half an hour after it had already opened (doh!). I only waited about 10 minutes outside, then was shuffled through the process. I think I was there 2.5 hours, took a while at the desk as they gave me grief for losing my own valid passport, and then somehow you can't use your husband as a reference (only as a guarantor, lol - but he's not related by blood!!). I pick up the 3 passports it on the 23rd - didn't want to freak about them mailing them and the post office returning them during the holiday break... I'll feel so much better when they're actually in my hand. And as soon as they are, I'll probably find my passport as that's how the world works!
