I called CIC to confirm the receipt of my passport, they said to contact cpc-o through email or fax to get an update on their system as Canadapost just delivered my passport to them on Aug 22nd., I have done both now, waiting for an update, is there anything in the mean time i should be doing?
Thanks All.

Nope, just relax.
I know this is a stressful situation, but at the end of the day, you have PR; they can't cancel your PR just because your passport was returned or anything.

Hi Vignesh/all,

I am in the same situation . The mailman did not deliver my Passport and as per Canada post tracking it is being returned to sender. I've sent an email to CIC @ CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca explaining the situation and requesting follow up procedures.

I'm traveling this October . People who have faced such situation before please advise me . Your help is much appreciated.

Hi All,

I recently received my request for passport and sent in my passport through Canada post Xpresspost to Ottawa CPP. I got an update on my profile stating that my application has been approved and closed. Now when the mail man tried to deliver the passport back to my address, my house owner's kid mistakenly said that no one by the name resides in this address(I recently moved in), so when I called Canada post I came to know that my mail was returned back to Ottawa-CPP due to this reason. Please help me with this situation and guide me on what steps I should take next. Really appreciate your help and if someone has experienced this before please let me know how it was solved.

Thanks again!

Hi All,

If you are experiencing a similar situation, DON'T PANIC!

When the Canada Post tried to deliver the passport back to my company's address, our new receptionist could not recognize my name at that point, so she mistakenly told the mailman that the recipient not located at this address and my mail was returned back to CPC – Ottawa. But eventually, CPC mailed back my passport to me and I got it about 10 days later.

From my own experience, the following procedures might be helpful:
1. Call Canada Post immediately, explain the situation and find out if it possible to intercept the mail or reschedule the delivery.
2. If the mail cannot be intercepted or it has already been returned to CPC-Ottawa, sent an email to this email ID:
cpc-ctd-ottawa@cic.gc.ca. In the email, you should briefly explain your situation and don't forget to include your name, DOB, UCI, Application #, document #, passport #, etc. Make sure you put your Application # in the title of the email.
3. Be patient. CPC is super busy and super slow. They may not response your email immediately, so just relax.
4. From my own experience, they emailed me after 5 business days to confirm my mailing address and ask me to purchase a Canada Post Xpresspost mailing label online or mail them an Xpresspost return envelop. Make sure you provide the 100% correct address this time!!!
5. After receiving your mailing label or return envelop, they will mail your passport back to you in next 1-2 business days.
6. Keep tracking your mail from Canada Post website. If you find anything wrong, call Canada post right away.
7. You get your passport.

Your situation may be different from mine. But overall, CPC will try to solve the issue on their side, because we are their client, we paid the application fee to them. So don't panic. I hope the above information is helpful. Thanks.
