So this is not something old - but yes, I am a Canadian and carry a Canadian Passport.
That passport is going to expire next month - yikes! So I began filling out the paper work and asked the Canadian Embassy if they have the "Simplified Renewal Application" available yet. You'll notice the link is listed as "International" but through the UK. The reason for this is because.......
It's not available in Finland until September 4th.
Which would be fine but we were hoping to go travel maybe to Norway or somewhere in the EU anyway....around mid-September-ish?
My son doesn't qualify anyhow - so I'll just submit them both at the same time.
And here's the lovely thing about my baby's passport. The guarantor was contacted and questioned a lot because there was doubt that she was really a lawyer and who she said she was on the form!
WHY?!
Because I put a different date on the application when I signed it - and because of this one tiny little factor...they really questioned her. Thankfully she didn't mind but she warned me when I filled out the big kid and my passport application - to put the same date.
I honestly didn't think it was a big deal because hey - I was signing it on a different date than her...I was just being honest and because of that - they questioned it.
So - FYI.
