Long waits for passports have been leading to stress and frustration for many with travel plans, including a B.C. family with tickets for a very meaningful vacation: a “bucket list” trip to Disneyland with a beloved grandmother facing a devastating diagnosis.Hope resident Brandon Williams said his mother-in-law Barb Walter wanted to create a special memory with her grandchildren by travelling with the family to Disneyland next month.
“I think a big part of this is she wants to be remembered by the kids,” he said of the Disneyland trip. “That’s her last thing on her bucket list that she wants to do.” It’s a frustration many have been facing as Service Canada deals with an influx of passport applications. Nearly 500,000 were received in March and April alone. Staffing has been increased, but there are still lineups.
Hello a Pandemic is going on. Maybe this trip is not the smartest thing to do!
And? Everyone is having issues with getting passports, in a timely fashion. This family is no more important than anyone else, regardless of their situation.(No I do not have compassion for any humans)
