@All who are waiting for more than 21 days .. are you all sending from the US .. it seems like people sending form Canada seem to get an update around the 21 day mark .. however, people sending from US seeming to take a little more time ...

I think the processing time at Ottawa is faster for the Inlanders when compared to Outlanders. I believe the inlanders send their passports to the PO Box.

Anyways, an update from the call i just had. This agent was telling me that the CIC processes our applications and returns the documents within 4 weeks from the day the Officer receives (not day of delivery). Of these 4 weeks, 2-3 weeks for the Application processing and 1 week for return of documents. Asked me to call this Friday, if my tracker has not been activated.

That makes sense, and is not too bad news for me. At worst I'll get my passports back the second week of September, soon enough to get a partial refund on tuition. I'll still lose some 1k CAD though. :(

Ouch! I hope they don't make mistakes on mine, or it will cost me 6k in tuition!!!
Most of the time the mistakes are on the CORP (and they are quite common)
those mistakes can be corrected when you land

bad thing is my visa in the passport also had a mistake (the mistake was the number of the passport of all things)

Received PP request on 28th July, sent PP on 31st July(from USA). Reached Ottawa on 1st August.

Called them today for the first time, spoke to a very sweet lady. She told that my passport was received on 1st August. The CoPR was printed on 8th August and PP is in Queue for printing. Then said that you would receive it soon in near future, in some several days. I asked what exactly she meant by several days and should I check back in two weeks time, maybe by end of August. She said it would be much faster than that and we would have sent it by then.
I called them by *676139444000 then pressed 1 (for English), then 1 again for Immigration. The call was transferred and then I pressed 7 for express entry and then 0 to talk to an agent. The Waiting period was 14 minutes. I called directly thru T Mobile and Calling time was around 14:25 CDT(15:25EST).
What number is that? I've been calling 888 242 2100 without any success. Also I can't reach this other number you called. :(

I am not sure of this. I am an inland applicant and I just got approval on my profile today. It is exactly 30 days that my passport was delivered to Ottawa.....

I called again this morning. The guy said he can't do anything bcoz they sent a message on last Wednesday and it was answered with the application being approved.
If tracker isn't activated by this Friday will call them again.
I called this morning and got the same response... they cannot do anything because they sent a note to CPC Ottawa last week after which my app was approved. The agent said that I have to wait for 10 business days from the date it was approved before following up... :mad:
