Hey buddy, I did some research about lost mail. There are people Lives in Vancouver waited over 6 weeks for passport to be returned from LA CIC office. I really do believe that it not lost, you can also send a email ask them if they send it back with registered mail.

TO be honest, I know it is hard for you wait patiently right now, but according to my own experience, It is absolute normal to take more than 4 weeks to be delivered to your house. I can't count how many times that Canada post had delivered mail to my house way over the deadline. It is just over 3 weeks, it will be fine.

One step backwards, If things happened, I would only think that it got lost in the mail if it is over 6 weeks and still not coming back.
This is not the first time it happens, I heard that CIC wants the person to go down to states, I think you can probably get the visa in person over there. You can apply a new passport and US entry visa, then you can get it from buffalo office there in person.

Just be calm, don't panic, It doesn't help anything,

jhun27,

Have you received your passport back from LA consulate? My passport has reached LA for more than 15 business days. I sent a inquiry email and am waiting for their response.
