Thanks i am looking out for person who submitted and still waiting for passport. I submitted on 19th Jan and still they are saying its not showing in system so little bit getting worried.
What does your postal tracker show? Is it delivered? I think someone in this thread had their application lost in their office, but was eventually returned.

Courier is your preference. I sent it via Canada Post, even though the address is in Quebec for regular mail, it gets delivered in Ottawa since that’s where the mailroom is.
I got my citizenship certificate within 13 calendar days and passport within 20 calendar days.

I used expresspost.
You can pay the $160 for processing the app either via credit card or certified cheque. They will pay for return courier of certificate and passport on their own. It may come in one package or two separate ones.
