It was very much easier than I thought. I thought they would request more documents as my child's father lives in Africa, but they didn't. Got the passport in 2 weeks from submitting very impressed.

It was easy. Just send as possible document they need . They only asked the BC of my daughter and my Evisa Share code to prove my immigration status, but i send also a copy of our marriage contract, copy of my BC and a copy of our passport. Timeline : 15th January passport application 18th identity confirmed 19th document Sent 22nd Document Received 25th Application Approved 27th passport printed 28th passport delivered 29th document received back.
