After speaking to a passport officer from the west coast, she said her office just got a new printer installed earlier this month. I just renewed mine in Downtown Montreal and got the new design.
The Canadian Embassy I spoke to also confirmed they’ve been getting new designs since mid-Oct. (these guys get theirs from Gatineau CPC fwiw)
There is a very good chance you’ll get the new design provided Mississauga or Gatineau, or any Passport Canada/Service Canada centres with a new printer installed issues them. Toronto Downtown and Burnhamthrope also has them now.
