So I just spoke with CIC. They confirmed that our visas has been stamped in our passports and our COPR has been generated. They also mentioned that the office has 2 weeks from when they recieved your passports to have application completed and send back your passports..if 2 wks has passed you can call in and they will open an investigation to confirm why there is a delay. Hope this help. They just need to dispatch my passports.

Thank you. That is very helpful. Can you provide the number that you called?

Thanks. I talked to an agent after he called me back. He said that there are delays and they printed out (whatever that means) only on 14th June and asked me to call back end of next week if I have not yet received my passport. At that time they will ask the agent to rush my case. Not very helpful in this case.

Are they saying your Visa was stamped in your passport on June 14th and your confirmation of permanent residency was completed..so is just send back your passport??

No they did not. Just mentioned about "printing" on 14th June -- whatever that means. My application was sent on paper, so what are they writing actually. It seems you should receive your passport back by end of this week!

Good morning Guys..I am stressed beyond stress right now. My brother was murdered in Jamaica last night and my sister is currently 8mths pregnant. I am the eldest sibling so I have to go home to sort out this situation. I need to leave ASAP but no passports. I sent the web form, it is saying I won't have a response until 5 days time. I email
CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca..no response. I called again this morning they advised me they don't know what is the delay as my passports should have been sent back to me already as there is nothing more to be done to my file...I am so stressed..my mother died in a car accident in 2007..it's 4 sibling of us. I am here, my brother after me is in England and my 2 youngest siblings were back home. They murdered the youngest yesterday..he was just 25.
