Whew! Thankfully after all the hassle (getting the Letter of Authorization from Canada Post, calling 4 different times – and getting 4 different answers, getting the L0A notarized, and finally mailing it off to my mom so she could have the required original copy), I finally got my passport from Canada Post. Well, my mom has it. And my sister will bring it over with her when she comes to visit in a few weeks. Woo hoo!
Now my fingers are crossed that my BC Parks parking pass arrived in the mail today. :)
