Thanks Guys ;D I just emailed passport Canada last night to find out the status and put a travel date in, it will be 3 days before I can expect an answer according to the site. Firggin takes forever to get a renewal. In hindsite I could have gone to the office 2 hours from my house and done the renewal request and kept my old passport to use until the new one comes in. Live and learn for next time. I will keep you guys updated on whether I can make the trip, really hope I can.
Cheers
Mike
