Canada Post still "out for delivery"

[unicornpants]

Hi guys,
Has anyone else had this happen? I sent my entire spousal immigration package to Mississauga and it was guaranteed delivery on Oct 21. Canada Post's website tracking STILL says "out for delivery" and nobody on their phone can tell me any differently. I've opened a ticket with them but am VERY concerned they've lost my entire spousal sponsorship package
Thanks!

This is quite common with Canada post .. CIC won't even look for your package until SA has passed. Mine did the same thing but it arrived safely just Canada Post never updated their system.

What is "SA"?

What is "SA"?

Sponsorship approval

I hope you have received confirmation by now that they have received it.
If not next time you call Canada Post ask them if the CIC office is LVR = Large volume receiver.
what that means is that for offices receiving a ton of mail every day sometimes they miss scanning each and every piece.
and since the delivery scan is not there it will keep showing as out for delivery.

Hello, i have the same problem too, my passport has been out for delivery for about 5 days now and i have called Canada Post more than a million times with same old ticket number, please if you have experience something of such can anymore let me know how they handled it.

Thanks

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem. I sent the passport through xPresspost and the status "Out for delivery" hasn't been changed since November 23rd. I have called to Canada Post many times and each agent tells me absolutely different stories about the current location of the item. First one told me that it hasn't delivered yet. Second one said that it has probably been lost and opened the service ticket (it would take about a month to find out). When third one was sure that the item was successfully delivered on November 23rd...

What is worse, I have an IELTS test in a week which requires original passport. To be honest, right now I have no idea what to do in this situation... I hope that that they've just forgotten to scan the item and it is right now somewhere in the Embassy.

If anyone experienced anything similar or knows approximate time for processing passport in the Embassy, please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

I have same problem. I will hope then that it's delivered not scanned and wait for SA! :/

If it helps, I did get mine in the end (SA). I never did get an AoR (Acknowledgement of Receipt) from CIC but I kept checking my application status and eventually it came up.

Mine has been out for delivery for some time too lol. How do you guys even check the application status without any information on hand?

 

[Crayon7]

As Far as I understand we can't check anything until AOR? If we are lucky to get one if not SA? Lol

You can still try checking online:

I used my receipt number (IMM 5401) first. It does take weeks for anything to show up though. As an example, my package was "out for delivery" on Oct 21. Apparently they started working on my application on Dec 8. I didn't get a successful hit on their site until late December. I'm sure that's not the same for everyone though. I am probably more at the "extreme" side of things.

Cool thanks didn't even know I could try. Obviously it's too early but will try from time to time if I can

 

[bishankhn]
