Getting Passport Back from Montreal IRCC

[Baram94]

Hello,

My application to get the PR got rejected one year ago, since then I’ve been waiting to get my passport back to be able to settle elsewhere.
I called the IRCC and borders a dozen times, sent letters. Nothing worked. People from IRCC don’t know anything and the letters don’t get any replies.

Has anyone managed to get their passport back from IRCC Montreal 1025 Rue Saint-Jacques ? And if so, how?

(There is no way to make an appointment or to call them directly…)

Thx.

If your refugee claim was refused, then your passport will not be returned to you until you are physically leaving Canada. You need to make plans to leave and communicate those arrangements to CBSA. Your passport will be returned to you at the airport as you are boarding the plane to leave Canada.

Thank you for the response. It’s just weird because I called CBSA about it and they just said to contact IRCC, and IRCC did the same thing.
I don’t want to take a plane ticket, and then at the airport see that CBSA didn’t do the proper arrangements to give me back my passport.

Is there a way to be sure they’ll do their job?

It is not mandatory. You don't have to take it if you don't want to.
But how did you contact IRCC. Is this their response after webform?

Hello,

Did you got any luck getting your passport back from Montreal IRCC? I applied refugee in 2020 and my passport was seized in Montreal IRCC. I got my PR under spousal sponsorship and have withdrawn my refugee case. My lawyer faxed my passport return letter to CBSA with all the supporting docs( Passport copy, PR card, Notice of seizure). I recieved reply from CBSA to send IRCC an email as i got my PR from immigration. I have called IRCC and they said my passport is with Montreal and office will contact me... waiting from sep no response yet. I have called IRCC so many times they just say this same thing. Does anyone know what else i can do as i live in ottawa and they say ottawa ircc will handle it further. If you can share any info regarding montreal ircc any contact no email address anything it will be really helpful!

No response yet, I first called ircc on 23 oct and made request over the phone for the passport. Please suggest if i can do anything else or is it
Okay to send them email again? After sending email on this address after how long did you heard back from them and after how long you got ypur passport? was it mailed to you or they made an appt to pickup?
