This Service Canada location is by Scarborough Town Centre. There used to be more parking next…read moredoor. However, due to much development in the area, the parking lot is smaller than I recall when I was last here ten years ago. I parked on the street. It was Green P parking. I was lucky that I paid for an additional session through the app because I was here for nearly four hours. The maximum parking session is three hours. I recommend not coming here on a Monday. It seems like everyone was here when I was. This location offers a number of services that I am probably unaware of. I can't and won't rattle them off. I do know that for Canadians, it has these services: - Apprenticeship grants - Benefits finder - Canadian dental Care plan - Job bank - Labour market information - Passport application - Social Insurance Number application I was here to get my passport reviewed. It was confusing entering the building to figure out where to go. For this business listing, all services that Service Canada does, minus passports, is on the left when you walk through the main entrance. Signage is non-existent. You want the lineup that is shorter of the two. For passport applications, you need to line up where the longer lineup twists and turns on the right. Again, signage was so poor that I asked a security person where I should go for passports. He was great pointing me in the right direction. I don't think that I'd be using any other service here but applying for a passport. In the past, you'd go up to the second floor. These days, it's seems to be triage on the main floor before you get a number and head upstairs to the second floor to complete the final part of the application process. Payment is upstairs for passports. Debit and credit cards are accepted. Certified cheques and money orders are accepted. You can't do personal cheques or cash to pay. (120)

On the 3rd business day, my cellphone did not ring but a voice message was left saying they couldn't contact me and would try again tomorrow. The same scenario repeated itself on the 4th business day but this time the message was to complete a new request if I still required service. Well, I decided to go to the Service Canada office located next to the Scarborough Town Centre on Friday. Since I didn't have an appointment, I was instructed by Security to a wait line along with a dozen people (standing) ahead of me. Sixty-five minutes later, I was sitting in front of a government agent. The service agent was prompt, courteous and friendly. My request document was completed in under 10 minutes.

I came to this Service Canada for a passport renewal. I made an appointment ahead of time online,…read morealmost two months in advance. Even then, it was really hard to find the perfect time slot so definitely check often and early if you want to make an appointment. There was a lot of signage on the outside of this location. One of the signs instructed those with an appointment to skip any line and go directly to the welcome desk. I read this twice before heading in. There was a line of about 8 parties of folks waiting to be seen on one side of the stanchions. It was mortifying to be the one person on the other side walking right past the line. I actually walked back outside to check the sign again before doing so. I'm really glad I followed the instructions though because once the Service Canada member was done assisting the current guest, they immediately asked me if I had an appointment to ease my insecurities. At check-in, I confirmed the details of my appointment. I was then sent to the waiting area where I was told I'd hear my name called. There isn't a speaker or number system there so you really have to listen since the reps are behind plexiglass. I only waited 10 minutes past my allotted appointment time to be seen. The rep that helped me was friendly and polite. Pretty day and night from some horror stories I had at DMVs in the US!

During covid, this location is appointment only which is great. Book online. Do NOT come without an appointment, you'll waste your time waiting in line and being sent away which happened to a few people in front of us. Do NOT come super early, they'll keep pushing you back to allow for the earlier appointments - again, happened to a bunch of people. Come on time, they will move you up in the line if there are people with later appointments than you. Located in the mall, there's security at the front of the mall asking what you're coming in for, he'll then direct you to the right person. You'll head to service Ontario where there's a line outside and someone managing the line. Our appointment was for 11 but we didn't get in until 11:15am. However, once we got in, we immediately got down to business and got everything we needed done - and I had like 3 different items too. The lady was polite, efficient but no nonsense - which I appreciated! She helped us with everything we needed, everything was organized and explained well. 15 minutes later, we're done everything, I'm happy and walking out for lunch. Sure I didn't exactly get the time I booked but given how quickly I was in and out during covid, I'm not going to complain. Will definitely try to book this location in the future for any other service Ontario things - here's hoping it won't be for another 10 years though!
