Does it take almost a month to get back the passports after mailing it? I am in the US, and my passport reached IRCC on August 10th. I thought stamping will be quick and that I will get back my passports in a week or so.

It feels irresponsible from IRCC side to hold on to passports for almost a month. Ideally, they should have a process to request for passports only when they can get it stamped within a few days.

I guess “None of the above” or “Foreign worker” both may be applicable ( considering the latter states “or who is exempt from the requirement to obtain a work permit”).
Wishing you a pleasant journey and a happy life ahead in Canada!
I landed a few hours ago. My answer to the ArriveCan question did not seem to matter.

I had a connecting flight in Amsterdam. The boarding there was slower than usual because they were checking every passenger's documentation (passport, vaccine certificates, PCR test certificates, travel documents).

In Canada (Vancouver), I first went through customs like anybody else and showed my new COPR (replacing pre-March 18). I then picked up my luggage at the carousel. After that, I went to the immigration office. There I was processed quickly. There was an insane line of students waiting to be processed but I went in front of everyone. The only documents they asked were my COPR, my passport and my customs form. They didn't ask for anything else. No POF, no list of belongings, nothing.

Nova Scotia VO, I suppose, is the worst of the bunch. I haven't seen anyone expired post march from Nova Scotia Vo receiving at least an email. :(:(

I don't think it's office specific.
I can count the rumours I've heard of expired post march holders getting contacted on one hand...
It seems slow for everyone, hopefully it will pick up soon.
