i sent my passport mar 3 then they received it mar 6 in xpresspost tracking system. i called CIC mar 17 to asked about my passport they said they received it mar 12. so does it mean that they already opened my envelope?
March 12th was the VISA issued date if my assumptions are correct. So the time for printing the VISA is within 7 days from the date of issue. So you will get your passport this week or early next week based on trends.

Please see this spreadsheet for the trends

I cancel my business trip twice. Its just not good. Hopefully we will get it tomorrow. The worst thing is I lost my tracking no. somewhere :( can't even track so that I can book my flights accordingly... I have Visa interview for US tomorrow. I guess I will have to reschedule my appointment.

Pinoy don't forget to mention to the border officers that you would need your PR card urgently as you are traveling. I have seen them put a note on the file if that is the case. Although there's no guarantee, it should mean something good.

Nope, I thought after printing it few days before they would mail the passport back. Not sure if they are doing it in batches or something.
