May I ask if your dependents also have stickers (counterfoil) attached to their passports?
My wife didn't get one (she is British and I am Chinese) so I am not sure if it was a mistake or it is nationality specific.

hi. Yes all our passports came with the counterfoil attached. Maybe she (your wife) doesn’t require the visa stamp as she’s British

Congrats! I do really hope that they pick up the pace; 8-10 weeks is too long.
May I ask what visa type that you applied to? I wonder whether the stamping processing time is dependent on the visa type or whether it's the same for all visa types.

Mine is express entry PR.
I think they are delaying the temporary residents . But for PR it's all same

Hi,
What is your country of origin?
 
Yes it seems so. Do you know what what is the stamping processing time for temporary residents? Is it 8-10 weeks or more?
Hard to say because yours is the first visitor visa I came across to have received a PPR. There were a few student visa couple of months back that got passports in a couple of weeks
