Approved Online Visitor Visa: Passport Return Times

[bonhomie08]

Obviously, there are a lot of ungrateful folks here - who do not bother to come back and let others know when their passport was returned after stamping. They of course do not mind getting help and information from others while waiting for their passports to be returned.

I applied online within Canada on Oct 8 2017 and sent my passport to the Ottawa processing center on Oct 19:

Passport Sent Date: Oct 19
Courier Passport Delivered Date: Oct 20
Return Tracker Activated Date: Not yet
Passport and COPR delivered: Not yet

I have a flight to Mexico booked for Nov 12th which is a Sunday, so if CIC does not send my passport on or before Thursday, Nov 9th, I'm screwed!

Do you guys think it will help if I submit a request via the IRCC web form? It will be exactly 3 weeks on Nov 10th, and going by some (very few) posts here, it does look very tight to me. Again, I am in Canada right now and applied online for renewing, or if you want me to be more technical, a new visitor visa.

Has anyone applying within Canada mailed/couriered their passport after October 15th to the Ottawa office and had it returned to them after stamping? If yes, can you please let us know when you got it back? Thanks.

It's the last step before they return it to the VAC to send it to you. If you included a 1-2 day prepaid return envelope I think you should be good!
