Service Canada Centre – Mississauga, ON

Federal Government Services and Passports

Passport Services

• Urgent and Express Pickup: As a specialized Passport Office location, this centre offers urgent (next business day) and express (2-9 business days) passport pickup services. This differs from standard Service Canada locations that only accept applications for mail delivery. Proof of travel is typically required for urgent requests.
• Application Processing: Staff review passport applications for completeness, verify citizenship documents, and validate photos on-site. This significantly reduces the risk of rejection compared to mailing applications, ensuring a smoother process for travelers.

Benefits and Personal Identification

• Biometrics Collection: The office is equipped to collect biometrics (fingerprints and photos) for immigration applications, supporting the permanent residence and work permit processes for newcomers to Canada.
• Social Insurance Number (SIN): Residents can apply for, replace, or update their Social Insurance Number. In many cases, the SIN is issued during the visit, allowing immediate access to employment and government benefit systems.
• Pension and Employment Insurance: The centre provides assistance with Employment Insurance (EI), Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and Old Age Security (OAS) applications. Agents can help clarify eligibility requirements and assist with navigating the My Service Canada Account (MSCA) online portal.
