Passport lost???

[fastian]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I applied for TRV from Toronto(Canada) to Buffalo and I was told by the embassy that my passport was returned back to me via regular mail on the 26th April 2011. It's been more than 3 weeks now and I still havent received my passport. I was wondering if anyone of you can let me know if that is normal and how long does it take to get the passport back via regular mail(Buffalo to toronto). I have to travel soon and this is making me nervous.

I'll really appreciate, if anyone can help me in this regard.

Thanks
