Oh wow! Congrats. My passport was delivered on the 26th of July, agent told me visa was printed on the 18th of August. I don't have any updates in my CIC account yet and I'm waiting on my fedex tracker to be activated.:(:(:(:(


@amysanyer, ... same situation here ... I was told that the visas were printed on Aug 22, and that it should be ready for pickup by carrier in a day or two ... my CIC account is also not yet updated ...

The thing im not sure about.
when they say they printed. Thats pretty much the same as approval right? Or is the printing before the approval?

They told me on tuesday, August 22nd that my visa was also printed. However, no approval on the online profile and no updates. Not sure if printed means the same as approval.....
 
Guys completed landing at Sarnia, Blue water bridge, awesome experience no rush at all, no questions asked except basic formalities and everything done in 30 minutes, the line up wait for cars at borders took longer than the actual process, lol

I would highly recommend inlanders from Southern Ontario to go to Sarnia despite the long drive, (BTW drive is awesome as well) very less traffic as compared to Niagara and other GTArea.

Even the US Border officers were chilled out and relaxed.
 
It is normal. That means they processed from Ottawa to your place. Wait for a day, you will see update.
Thanks. Thats true. It moved forward today. Hopefully get it on Monday. By the way do yoi guys have any idea that should I be at home signing the envelope or it wille be dropped in the mail box? Thanks.
 
I'm guessing you used Fedex as your courier too

Yup, used fedex. Called CIC today as well, they just reiterated the same. that the visa is printed but the passports have not yet been dispatched...
