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.

The thing is they are independently run and Service Ontario will not do anything about them. Just look at their reviews everywhere. Shame on them. Alarmingly, they do not wear masks. One of them will wear a plastic mouth cover (which is not a mask) and the other will stand behind her plastic wall without a mask. Especially with covid infection numbers going up, they are not a location you want to go to, in an indoor environment.

4.5 rounding down to 4…read more I've had to change go-to locations due to closures over the years, so I'm glad to still have one that isn't too far out of the way from home. It's conveniently located in this little mall, which is right off Highway 7 and Martin Grove, so it has plenty of parking, which is sometimes difficult with government offices. You can make an appointment ahead of time for most services, which I've done. When you go into the mall, it's close to the Tim Hortons (across from the Home Hardware.) It looks like your typical, drab office, complete with handwritten and paper printout signage everywhere. When you come in and you have an appointment, you approach the desk where it says to check in for appointments. Otherwise, you have your usual, snaking line towards the counters for non-appointment visits. Both times, I've had very friendly, competent staff serve me. I like that they are diligent, and check what time your appointment is before serving you. They don't take any nonsense because they are running on a very tight schedule, but they are professional and not rude about it. Both times recently, they've been very efficient, even though one appointment was for a not very routine service. They have a supervisor on hand as well who helps keep things running smoothly and assists with reassigning wherever needed to keep everything going. So why not 5 stars? The venue really is tight and drab, and even with the generally very good service, it doesn't help when people lie about their appointment times. I also find the online appointment signup very un-user friendly, and I find you have to book like a week ahead. Still, a very good Service Ontario office overall. I'm not too mad that it's replacing the ones I've gone to previously.

Let's say you're going to visit your grandma in the States and you're trying to cross the border,…read morebut that wacky US Customs officer denies your entry because you may or may not have had a slight indiscretion with respect to your driving record. They tell you that you can only come in if you provide fingerprints proving it was really your ex-girlfriend, and not you, who stole the car and got the DUI. Or suchlike. :-) The scenario above was completely fabricated, naturally, but if you have the need to be fingerprinted (for immigration purposes, for example), IFS is the place to go. The parking at this particular location is absolutely *atrocious*, so try to take transit if you can or park across the street at the Shoppers Drug Mart. Once inside, though, IFS is quick, informative and not overly expensive. They provided me with several information sheets, such as where I needed to send my documents and prints (even though I already knew), and even though waiting required me to take a number , IFS didn't treat me like one. IFS has several locations throughout the GTA, Ontario and across Canada.
