联邦新增四个服务中心提供10日护照领取服务Minister Gould announces 10-day passport pick up service at four additional Service Canada Centres
加拿大服务局继续出台各种新措施,在应对前所未有之需求剧增之时,努力改善护照服务,减少加拿大民众的等候待时间。今年夏天,我们在35个护照办事处中的17个办事处引入的分流机制,在减少排队方面起到重大作用,并重新引导申请人以适当的方式获得服务。电话中心的平均等待时间也有所改善,从4月份最高的108分钟缩减到上周的27分钟。
8月17日,在三河城(Trois-Rivières)的加拿大服务中心,家庭、儿童及社会发展部长卡瑞纳·古尔德(Karina Gould)宣布确立四个新增的护照领取地点。从即日起,加拿大公民可以在下述加拿大服务中心(Service Canada Centres)申请并领取他们的护照。
- 魁北克省三河城(Trois-Rivières, Québec)
- 安大略省苏圣玛丽(Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario)
- 爱德华王子岛省夏洛特城(Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island)
- 阿尔伯塔省红鹿市(Red Deer, Alberta)
除了现有的护照办事处(passport office)提供领取护照服务之外,加拿大人现在可以在以上四个加拿大服务中心(Service Canada Centre)申请并要求当面领取他们的护照。与普通的加拿大服务中心不同,这四个地点提供10天服务,换言之:加拿大公民可以在这四个地点之一提出护照申请,在10个工作日后即可通过邮寄或当面领取的方式得到护照。如果加拿大公民需要在10个工作日以内的时间得到他们的护照,则需要前往办理加快或紧急取件(Express or Urgent pick-up)服务的护照办事处(passport office)。
扩增领取护照的地点,将使许多需要领取护照的加拿大人能够在离家较近的地方领取护照。加拿大服务局全力致力于为加拿大人提供离居住地50公里以内的护照服务。同时,在未来几周内,将在全国各地增加更多提供某些护照服务的预定外展地点。

事实简要
- 自2022年4月1日以来,加拿大服务局已签发80万1353本护照。

Service Canada continues to introduce a variety of new measures to improve passport
service delivery and decrease wait times for Canadians as it works through
unprecedented demands. The triage system introduced this summer in 17 of our 35
passport offices has made a significant impact in reducing lineups and redirecting
Canadians to the appropriate means to access service. The average wait time at call
centres has also improved, going from a peak of 108 minutes in April to 27 minutes last
week.
Today, at the Trois-Rivières Service Canada Centre, Minister of Families, Children and
Social Development, Karina Gould, announced the designation of four additional
passport pick-up locations across the country. Effective immediately, Canadians can
now apply for and pick up their passport at the following Service Canada Centres:
· Trois-Rivières, Québec
· Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
· Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
· Red Deer, Alberta
In addition to the existing passport offices offering pick-up service, Canadians can now
both apply and request in-person pick-up of their passport at these four Service Canada
Centres. Unlike the regular Service Canada Centres, these four locations offer 10-day
service, which means that Canadians can apply for a passport in one of those four
locations and the passport will be available after 10 business days, either by mail or in
person pick-up. If Canadians need their passport in less than 10 business days, they
will need to visit a passport office that offers Express or Urgent pick-up service.
The expansion of pick-up sites will allow many Canadians who need to pick up
passports to do so closer to their homes. Service Canada is fully committed to providing
passport services within 50km of the home of Canadians. Also, more scheduled
outreach sites that will provide certain passport services will be added in the coming
weeks across the country.

“Service Canada is working tirelessly to identify and implement solutions that not only
improve the speedy delivery of passports, but also improve the service experience for
Canadians. We will continue to make our services more accessible for all Canadians.”
