I can't answer your first question, though I think you will get your passport back in the next couple of weeks, but re the 2nd question, from my experience, the appointment with the local CIC office (Edmonton) was more convenient. When I called CIC the morning of Jan 18th after I received the COPR in the mail, they said it would take 6-8 weeks for the local office to call me to set an appointment. But I received a call from the local office on the afternoon of the 18th itself for an appointment on Jan 21st. I'm not sure if I got lucky or if this is the norm, but this was my experience. Hope this helps!
thanks a lot! It's really helpful!
I have contacted CIC but the agent kept asking me like am I going to travel outside canada in next half year, I said yes.
Then he asked when? I said depends on when can I get this immigration thing done. He was really impatient and kept asking when, I said I am waiting for my passport, when it come back yes, I am going to travel, but I don't know when yet.
he asked again when do you plan to travel, I said I have sent my passport to Ottawa, my travel plan is solo depend on when I get my passport back and finish the landing, he said ok, when?
it was like talking to the wall.
I had to hang up the phone, going to call again tomorrow.
hopefully this time can have another agent.
