21 days in total at ADVO.. delivery took only 1 day.. as it was stamped on Wednesday and friday couriers are not delivered so rcvd it on Saturday

Yeah, that’s what. Rest other days were holidays

 

[onkarsharan]

hopefully, I am sept 12 so probably another 10 days to go.

You should get an approval message this week, probably in 2-3 days. Then passport early next week.

If through VFS, then 100%! If through aramex, then it may take 5-7 working days.

Any luck today for anyone?

None! VFS only sent our passports from the 7th to the embassy on the 10th! Hopefully we see CIC updates later today and passports back by Thursday

10th being done today. Someone I know got the approved status.

Once CIC approves what’s the avg time taken by VFS to return back the passports. This is not fair as it takes a considerable amount of time. People with dire needs such as me need to go back to our country due to emergency.

@johnsyk

Thanks for your answer man!
One more doubt I have. I understand the part where I have to cut all ties. Does that include revoking my Canadian citizen ship or I get to hang on to that?

Oh no! You are a Canadian citizen for life! Unlike PR, you are always a citizen till you voluntarily give it away and you have no reason to give it away. You can remain a citizen but for tax purposes, once you cut all ties, you are a citizen who is a resident of another country and hence not tax liable. This is an advantage of Canadian citizenship that if you cut ties, you are not liable for tax in Canada unlike US citizenship where you are ALWAYS liable for tax!

can't wait to see the same status on my cic

 

[chaudri]

No updates today guys?

 

[ajawfer]

Nothing.... still they haven’t finished those from 6th Sept

Strange. A friend who submitted on 7th September and whose docs reached ADVO on 10th September got approved status and his passports have been despatched.
