I choose Option 2 by filling the form after my bank transaction shows the $ 160 amount charged on my Credit card.I grabbed from a previous post:
1) call passport customer care 1 800 567 6868 and/or
2) Fill the form https://secure.cic.gc.ca/rs-vd/stat-eng.aspx to get the tracking in email
I did the #2 option which proved to be not ip to date. The webpage says that your passport application should in the system after 10 business days. That being said, I’d probably just call a day or two after your credit card gets charged if it happens under 10 days.
Here is the reply I received today for my passport status
