I agree, just for the passport part!hmm..I wish CIC could provide regular updates from the day they received and till the day they dispatch our passports.

I had sent my passport and not just copy.Did you send your original passport or a copy of your passport. I have the exact same timeline as yours and I have not received mine back.
I am an outland applicant applying from US. Keep calling them and dropping emails. I think that worked for me.This is rather fast. My documents reached Ottawa on July 21 and yet to get any approval on the portal nor tracker activated. Call CIC yesterday and they said they would send email to the officers in charge.
Congrats. Are you an inland applicant?
Ok. Thanks for your encouragement.I am an outland applicant applying from US. Keep calling them and dropping emails. I think that worked for me.
Hey..when did you make a call ?Just got an Email from Ottawa:
---------------------------
Dear,
This is in regards to your recent inquiry at the call center.
Your passport has been received at our office and will be returned to you shortly.
Your documents will be returned using the provided Xpresspost envelope. If you have followed the instructions on the website and kept note of the tracking number, you should be able to follow its delivery on the Canada Post website.
We thank you for your patience.

What happens next?
I called on Aug 16th around 11 Eastern.Hey..when did you make a call ?
This is the standard reply. I got the same reply 2 days ago for the email i sent 2 weeks ago.
It would have been nice, if they have mentioned the date they would actually return. I believe your tracker will be activated today. Based on what i have read, they have returned the documents mostly on a Friday after 5pm Eastern.I called on Aug 16th around 11 Eastern.
Shortly=>Enough time that you will be frustrated and will be checking the forum 100 times and then followed by checking FedEx app 100 times, even though the FedEx app will alert you as soon as it has the package.It would have been nice, if they have mentioned the date they would actually return. I believe your tracker will be activated today. Based on what i have read, they have returned the documents mostly on a Friday after 5pm Eastern.
They should really revise the word "shortly"
Looks like it take a week post approval for the tracker to updateMy Tracking was activated yesterday so should be getting my passport today
Yeah looks like it is true. I got email yesterday that my passport was dispatched from Ottawa office on 16th but I think Canada post picked up on 17thLooks like it take a week post approval for the tracker to update
that's good let's wait for another 7-8 day after your status is updated on account to approvedI just got off the phone with an extreme friendly and nice agent.
He told me my CORP and VISA printed yesterday on 8/17 (I don't see any update on my cic account though) and he was sending a message to Ottawa office to expedite the process so hopefully they can dispatch my passport soon.
I sent my passport on Jul 24 and was delivered on July 25.
Hope this helps anyone who has been waiting anxiously like I have
