Hi there,
I sent my passport on July 5th and it was delivered on July 6th. Does anyone know usually how long does it take for CIC to update the application status and return the passport?
I have seen people saying it's taking 11 days... Thx
Not for everyone, I sent it on 06/26 and it got approved yesterday 07/13, passport tracker still not activated.

I sent mine on 6 July, delivered on 10 july. Still waiting:(
Mine took 15 days from the date cic received, tracker still not activated so it will be a little while for you, say near around 25 july.For very few ppl its really quick for most its 10-15 days for others the wait time is longer.

Hello,

have you received your passport back after visa stamping.

If possible can you please share the visa expiry date as many people said its same with the medical expiry.

The reason I am asking these question we have almost same time line and after medical in first week of

January haven't heard anything from CIC.

Thanks,

Hi

I submitted my Passport to VFS of Democratic republic of congo on June 30, 2017 for sending it to Dakar.

They gave me tracking number but it was not updated on the site for tracking. VFS of DRC is saying they have some technical issues and they have no idea how much time it will take.

Can somebody please guide me by when is it normally expected to be received back from Dakar office.

I am not able to track from anywhere if it was actually received by Dakar office or not, there is no update in my CI account related to passport.

Still waiting for my passport back. NDVO just gave 30 days to submit passport, nothing related to Medical at all. I would suggest raise a case specific enquire with cic or your respective visa office.

Hi everyone,

I applied under cec with my dependent spouse.cpc Ottawa send me the email to submit passport.I got my passport back stamped from CPC Ottawa last week but still there is no update on my spouse passport because she sent the passport back home visa office because she has never been to Canada.Someone told me that she will not get the visa until she i complete my landing. Then they will send the memo to visa office back home and then they will grant the visa. I just want to confirm from you people that do u have any information about this?

Kindly advise.
Many thanks
