@guanjiankun .. any updates on your CIC account?
I have just received update with my CIC that my application has been approved today. Also, I have received another email simply saying they are experiencing a high volume of mail, and it might take longer than usual for the passport to return. Here is the actual content from the Mail:
"Dear Sir/Madam,
Your passport has been received at our office and will be returned to you shortly. We are currently experiencing a high volume of mail intake and we cannot confirm how long this process will take.
Your documents will be returned using the envelope that you provided. If you have followed the instructions on the website and kept note of the tracking number, you should be able to follow its delivery online.
We thank you for your patience."
I sent my passport on July 24th, and they received it on 27th. Application approved on Aug 21st. Return Tracker NOT Activated
