No, when I check it says "We can't give you the application status right now". It's been more than 3 weeks since the application already.
you are entitled to automatic refund of 25% if some delay is there from 10business days (assuming you applied in a passport office instead of regular service canada).. and 50% refund if long delay is there.

Hello everyone,

I received GCMS notes today. Everything is still the same nothing changed (LPP - Not Started). However, in the notes section, there is a new note (picture attached).

They have requested ICES from CBSA which is to confirm my travel history. Is it a good sign? How long does CBSA usually takes to respond. Should I send the scanned copies of stamped pages of my passport, if it can fast track the process?

Physical presence is 1096 days which is just 1 day more than 1095 days. So looks like they are checking and confirming that
