That’s a very long time. Do you have a tracking number? When was it mailed out and from where?

I wrote June by accident-- I meant July! Don't be surprised, though. I sent it by USPS first class international registered mail on the 28th of July, so I do have a tracking number. It's in Canada as of last week but I haven't seen an update since the 7th.

I believe that they only accept Fedex and UPS from the US, though I may be mistaken.

Excerpt from CIC's PPR email:

If you have a mailing address in the U.S.A.:

- A copy of a Self-Addressed FedEx, UPS or Purolator shipping label should be provided for the return of your documents. Please purchase a shipping label online or in store for FedEx/UPS/Purolator which includes transportation fees. If you need guidance on how to purchase the FedEx shipping label online, please send an email to us at CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca.

That's for the return mail only. I used FedEx for the return label.

Four days including the processing? That’s very impressive. My status on the portal is still not “approved” though passport has reached.

hats very convenient. However, my point is that I believe the processing time takes about a week (update reflected on portal). I’m comparing your time with others, excluding shipping.
