Country of residence -USA
Passport Delivered to CPC-Ottawa - 6 November (UPS)
Approved/Counterfoil/Document Number created - 29 Nov
Return tracker activation (DHL) - pending..

email sent twice for status but no response yet.

Just wanted to know, do we need to schedule a pickup or courier service visits on regular basis to pickup?

Hi everyone,

Request for passport: 6th Nov
Sent: 7th
Received by IRCC: 8th
Approved status: Dec 2nd
Still no word on when I will actually get it back- return mail not activated yet. I try calling but so hard to get through to anyone. I emailed them they said they pretty much cannot do anything for me- I need to travel on the 13th.... No idea what do do....

Did u ask agent, that can u pick ur passport from Ottawa? If u live somewhere nearby like Toronto. Because it seems very worrying now, only 6 days left for ur travel as u mentioned.

Hi :)

do you have any updates??

I was trying to call them this morning but unsuccessful (
Same reply, Nothing yet! Calling them shouldn't be a pblm much.. just choose proper option and then type all ur details immediately after the option and wait for the agent almost upto 40-50 mins..if u delay in entering ur details or do mistakes repeatedly,the call is getting disconnected.

CEC-PR Application

AOR: June 28
Passport Request: Nov 6
Passport Sent: Nov 7
Passport received at CPP Ottawa: Nov 8
Status changed to approved: Waiting
Tracker activated: Waiting

It has been 4 weeks now since they received my passport.

Before getting PPR, CIC requested RCMP check (It was not requested when I initially applied), and Travel History form.

I have tickets to travel out of Canada on Dec 22. I hope I get my passport by then.

So are the taking more than a month on an average? My passport was received by CIC on Nov 17th. Any chances that I will receive it in December?

Also does anyone know if it is possible that after doing my landing, I can travel to India and bring my family here? Or will I have to wait for getting the PR card before I can travel?
