Just think positive...i'm optimistic that your visa is approved. But you do know when are you expected to leave, right? In my case, I was already informed that i have to leave before August 9, but i still didn't get my passportes back - meaning its already approved.
Passport request

- Start date
Wow! Lehcar,
I did not get such info about when i need to leave for Canada. How did you get the info about when you have to leave for Canada? Did they write to you or they called you ?
Infact , we give the visa office the whole of next week. If we do not get the passports, we will need to borrow one.I hope it wouldn't be a problem.

With regard to passport request - Inordinate delays in returning passports by visa offices, suggest that you send similar emails like below to the Minister Jason Kennedy. Hopefully he will read it and take necessary action.
"Minister" <Minister@cic.gc.ca>
Honourable Minister Jason Kennedy,
Dear Sir,
Various initiatives taken by you in the recent past to expedite visa processing times is highly commendable. Many aspirants from particularly federal skilled worker category will be much grateful for your efforts.
Would like to bring to your kind attention the issue of passport request by certain visa offices. It has been an issue raised in several forums. Some visa offices requesting for passport along with medicals
and then there is no response for several weeks and in some cases months. Some offices request for passport after medicals but ask to be delivered by only postal system and then not returned for some months.
This procedure of retaining passports for several weeks and months is greatly inconveniencing the applicants.
(a) Many will be required to travel very often on business, personal reasons.
(b) There could be emergencies requiring the applicant or dependants to travel at short notices.
(c) Some countries, passport is the only valid ID proof particularly for non-nationals like expatriates living in those countries.
Hence we request you to consider allowing applicants to visit the visa processing office and submit the passport in person. This procedure indeed followed by some visa offices like Buffalo , new york etc., This can be extended to all visa offices.
Further passport request should be made only when all other evaluation and processing is complete. Thus there should be no reason to hold passports more than say two weeks.
Hope that you will consider our request favourably and suitable action be taken in this regard.
Thanking you, Yours sincerely - Canadian Immigration aspirant

China Connection - date was sent through e-mail by CIC counterpart here in our country and prior to sending of our passportes it was stated when are we expected to leave. Normally that is the date when they got your medical results which would expire in a year's time. Did you get your passports already? Keep us posted
Lehcar,
I have not received the passports yet.I am thinking of writing an email to them asking when they will send them, but i also want to wait until it is 2 months on the dot. Now it is 1 month 3 weeks since they received medicals , passports and PPR fee. So I give them the whole of next week. If i don't get the passports, i will write to them. The anoying thing is that, my case had been finalised long time ago.
Bye for now

Hi there AmitH,
They received our passports on the 4th of March. We received the passports on the 16th of April.But the funniest thing is the visa was issued on the 25th of March,from what we saw on the visa.
So it took, 1 month 12 days or so.
