From reading other threads, i learnt that paper application sometimes takes a while longer than online application for TRV.GagamM said:Thats great man, congratulation it took you a month and 2 days.
I submitted my paper application on October 26 they received it on October October 29th and till now I have had no response from them. Its been 48 days!! I emailed them 4 times and I keep calling the call center agents but they seems to know nothing about Ottawa office. I did put an urgency on my application on Friday 13th of December to get my passport back to me as I already cancelled my tickets that I had booked for that day (December 13).
I need to visit back home as soon as possible, its really very urgent I have provided them with my details too. I can't seem to find a way to contact the Ottawa office, thinking for going there in person on Wednesday 18th- but doesn't look like anyone had any success with that till now. Any suggestions??
I have no idea if going there in person would make any difference...i don't know
Here's a link to the waiting times :

I hope you get your passport back soon. It's never easy waiting with the unpredictable processing times.
Keep us posted.
God bless.
