From my counterfoil information on my online CIC account, my visa expiry date is October 18, 2017. This means that I need to land before that date. And they haven't returned our passports since 40 days now. I hope that they return the passports before October 18. I am concerned as I don't know what I will have to do otherwise. Really worried about the progress.
I emailed them in the morning and they got back with their standard respone about
"Your passport has been received at our office and will be returned to you shortly. We are currently experiencing a high volume of mail intake and we cannot confirm how long this process will take."
Do people know what we need to do if they return our passports after the visa expiry date? I really hope they return it soon.
