Thank you very much for sharing this @AHHABB
When you say 'Account CIC updated' on December 4, you mean the date when they issued the document? The counterfoil with the document number?

What private courier did you use for the sending and returning? It is too early I guess. Dont worry! hope all goes well for you

Hey! I sent it through UPS and sent a return UPS express envelope too. But I think the UPS person lied to me - I haven’t yet met a single person who received their passport through UPS
I have actually lost all hope because regular Canada Post will take sooo long and my passport hasn’t even left!

Hey Guys,
I am sorry for posting this so late
my timeline is as follows:

Applied for TRV inside Canada after receiving my open work permit
Applied on August 10
Update asking for medical check : October 31
Passport request : November 23
Passport sent on 26 November
Passport delivered 27 November
Return tracker was activated on December 6 Thursday and i received my passport on the same day.

*It took me close to 4 months to get my visa/passport in hand after applying. There is no timeline for applications that get selected for further background checks. All you gotta do is wait.
Contacting CIC in my case did no help to me nor sending a web form.

*Make sure they get the additional document when they ask-because when they asked me for my medicals- even after uploading it online in my account they were not able to see the document even after 15 days post uploading. Make sure you send it via all ways you know ( email, web form, contacting CIC agent)

*Do not make plans to travel or book tickets unless you have your passport stamped with visa with you in your hand!!

Thank you all
I hope you all get you visas and passport soon : )

Hey Sneha! Thanks for letting us know. I’m the person who made the UPS mistake, did you send yours through Canada Post? The only reason why I ask is because I think they’ll send mine through regular Canada post. I’m in Vancouver .

I received this e-mail from IRCC after contacting them via e-mail. I guess they don't return my passport via UPS and only by Canada post.

Omg that’s so annoying! Why do they keep doing this with us? I have no updates so far, except for the counter foil yesterday. Will let you know
I emailed them too so they’ll probably give me the same response as you.

 

[ssalehan]

Hi, any update on your case? I have the same case as yours. Thanks

Plus to be honest, the people who respond to our emails are probably the ones who answer our phones. And they will always give us the same response. So let's just wait and see what happens. So far, I have no updates, HOPEFULLY my UPS tracker becomes active today/tomorrow.

Thanks!
