where abouts do you go to do the form online?
If you don't have an ePass with the Government of Canada, you can't do it. I had an account set up a while go to deal with some tax matters. You can sign up online for an ePass, but it takes a week or two to get their verification password which comes via snail mail. You then log in with that password and your account is active.
FWIW, I did the online method last week. Showed up to the South Passport office last Thursday and I waited maybe 2 minutes. All the people that did it the old fashioned way had at least an hour wait. The clerk told me it was a "quiet day", but that online applicants ALWAYS get dealt with quicker. He seemed to imply that applications all through the system go faster when you do the online thing.
I was told I'll see mine in 3-4 weeks.
