If you sent your application by Canada post and didn’t include any prepaid envelope, how do you get your passport delivered at home? Canada post again?

"We've reviewed your application and can't process it further

We've reviewed your application and can't process it further. We're sending you a letter explaining why and will return your supporting documents at the same time."

CC charged today. However the status indicates something wrong. Does anyone has the same message status recently?

I called, they said there is a clerical error on their side, however did not provide any specific information what is going on. In the end, gave me another file number (which could not be tracked so far).

Not the first time someone's mentioned this in this thread. I remember someone saying they also got this message but their CC got charged. Eventually they got their passport without taking any action. Any chance you are applying from the US? I think that had been the case of that person.

Well exactly I am applying from US. Thanks for sharing previous cases, it is reassuring to hear that. Finger crossed^^
