April fools day 2010

Hi all,
No it is not what you think, CIC London did not email me back to saying that was April fools!
Actually this time they are insisting that I send in passports within the designated 45 days period.

I emailed them earlier asking for a 6 weeks extension, they emailed back saying that I will need to stick to the 45 days period unless I really have very good reasons.
My spouse is visiting Canada (applied for a visa before the passports request came) and I am in a foreign country and I need to hang on our passports as long as possible, I am hesitating to give them this reason in fear they will think it is trivial, or cancel the temporary visa for my spouse.
anybody with a similar experience?
In the past CIC London were very generous with extensions, seems they ran out of patience!

Suggestions please .....
