H1B dropbox for Vancouver. Documents ready for pickup. Is it stuck at Canada post during strike? or in UPS POBOX?

Anyone submitted documents for H1B renewal in last few days? I submitted to Canada post on Nov 13, Nov 14 8.30am it said ready for pickup. After that Canada post is on strike since Nov 15. The embassy is not confirming if they hav received the passport. What are the chances that the documents have reached UPS store and embassy has not picked up OR they are still with Canada post?

Hi, Im in a similar boat as you are.
Visa issued on 18th Nov, but cannot track passport as I do not have a tracking no. assigned yet.
Canada post is on strike.
Im worried how much longer will I need to stay
I think passport may still be at the embassy and not picked up by canada post

Hey- I do have a tracking number and it has not reached the embassy yet. They have a stupid process of third party picking up from Canada post and dropping it to embassy. So it is somewhere with Canada post, they are not able to track. My visa is yet to be issued. I hope this strike ends soon and passport reaches embassy.

Okay. Yeah. I hope they sort it out soon. Really bad timing

 

[Leo5555]

It is indeed. I really hope feds end the strike. That’s the only way out.

Hi,
Have you tried emailing to Contactus_en_ca@usvisa-info.com?

 

[Leo5555]

I have not. Have you? Any luck? I reached out to Indian embassy and Canada post both said they cannot help.

 

[Pragati.Srivastava]

I contacted this email id and they updated the return address to a BLS location. They have not given any update on the passport. Really hoping to receive some update soon and god forsaken strike ends. What was the reply from Indian embassy??

 

[Leo5555]

Same cannot help. As my passport is stuck with Canada post.

I see! Sorry about that
