WOW! congratulations! That was fast! Did you apply to expedite your application?
No, did not apply to expedite application.
Just followed normal process. I did provide extensive documentation for whatever was required based on my answers to the questionnaire.

Hi all
I have applied for TRV from within Canada and after 8 days I received a request from CIC to send my original passport for stamping , I was wondering if post Canada post will be on strike so sent my passport by DHL and i did include a prepaid DHL for the return of my passport .
CPP Ottawa received my passport august 3rd but after checking the immigration forms now I know that CPP Ottawa are not going to send me back my passport through DHL because they can accept only prepaid express post envelop , they will send it by regular mail .
my question is : witch address CIC will use to send me back my passport , is it the mailing address in my application ? or the address that I put it in the DHL return envelop ? because the two address are different .

Please Help me I am afraid to lost my passport .

one more question , is there any idea about timeline for TRV stamping and passport receiving within Canada.

concerning the address you are good , because express canada is considered like courier in the same time so do not worry about that .

best of luck
