Are you sure you applied in Ottawa? We have not commence processing of 10year validity passport. It is not on our website. 2. You said you applied in March 2022. March has 31 days. I cant see your date of capture. Always share comprehensive information if you want us to look into your case.

For the 5year validity passport, you do not need NIN
