Anyone here applied TRV inside Canada recently?

Hi there,

Did anyone applied for a TRV inside Canada this November? If so, can you post your timeline? I'm freaking out because I just submitted my passport to CPC-Ottawa last 07/23/17 and I don't know when are they going to return it. Do you have any idea how long it will take? Thanks!

Hi,
Give yourself 3weeks. I am in same boat here.
My Timeline
Applied Online: 11/05/2017, got the Application number same day.
Passport request: 11/18/2017
Passport sent: 11/19/2017
Passport received by Ottawa: 11/21/2017.
Return tracker did not activate till date. I called Cic and they very politely informed me expect delays. This is holiday reason. I questioned back asking how long, she said this an estimate can be more or less, keep 3weeks from the day your passport was received.I informed her my reason of travel is not vacation but to attend my ailing mother surgery. She then said, in this case you can send out instruction for Urgent Processing. She emailed me with information on how to proceed.
I yesterday followed the instruction and submitted a case specific request for urgent processing with Letter of explanation and Doctors letter.

In short if we see the trend on how they are handling applications We both are on almost same time length. I feel it will be 10th or + by the time we get our passport.
If you get any update OR your tracker gets activated pl
