Joan and I sent in our passports to have additional pages added to them. They were valid for several more years, but it was clear there weren't enough blank pages remaining. The annual (or, the last two years, twice a year) trips to Canada added a lot of stamps. Joan mailed off the passports on Friday, October 2nd, and we got them back Tuesday October 13th. Less than two weeks for passports sent in unexpedited, and across a holiday weekend!
The new pages are attractive (much more so than the blue shields on the original pages).
Incidentally, in September at Vancouver neither entry into Canada or return to the US were stamped into our passports. (US immigration and customs is gone through at the major Canadian airports, so the flight lands in the US as a domestic flight). In July at Calgary both were stamped. A new policy? We'll see next year.
