Hi there,
I applied from Austria, today I received a mail that I should mail my passport.
Does anyone know about Austria? Does it take long? I am travelling on 8th of December, which I mentioned them in the e-mail.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks!

The only way to get through is by emailing CPC Ottawa if you have a case specific inquiry. Calling CIC is quite useless and the rep i got to talk to (after trying for half an hour to get through and then another 40 mins of wait time) was awfully rude. But you can try nonetheless:18882422100

I sent mine Oct 23rd and still no approval or passport. I am very worried and calling and emailing doesn' seem to help. They just keep saying to wait! Interestingly my dependents passport is stamped and returned already so I am worried my passport is just lost or something?
