<*> Advice on Applying Canadian Passport and Birth Certificate

* The passport offices in GTA are unusually busy in recent months. A long
line-up forms in early morning and the number tabs run out before noon etc....
* Issuing birth certificates is taking unusually long time in recent months.
It now takes 4 to 5 months.
