thats true, the very first instance when i realized "out for delivery" i was in panic that maybe my passport is lost some where then i started to google and found the same what other fellows said tracker never got activated. we are already too weak hearted and waited for so many years for this golden moment. Its a huge milestone in our lives, they should have either given us option to use FEDEX at least that would be more reliable as per our back and forth experiences of sending applications to the Visa Offices serving our respective home country.
anyways lets see till the end of this week some good sign pop up.

Ahmed.

Just flag poled at rainbow bridge, everything went smoothly. Make sure you take 50c in quarters to get through the turnstile.
Hi Dreamer congrats.
Can you tell me step by step of flag poling where you parked the car how you did flag pole and what documents you need essentially.
what special arrangements if you have family specially little kids.
thanks

Hi Ahmed,ahmedhuang said:
I did it with my fiance who is a Canadian citizen - She dropped me off at the border crossing and I went through alone. There is a car park for about 5 cars right next to the crossing, where you might be able to get to out to walk, but I'm not sure if you can park there during the whole process or if it is a loading zone (she stayed in the car the whole time). I would try parking there and check the signs - if you can't park there, you can try somewhere else nearby - there's lots of tourist parking near the falls.
There is a larger border office on the left of the road border, but you need to exit through the smaller one on the right. Inside is a turnstile, much like the ttc ones, that requires 50c in quarters per person. There are change machines in that office. Once through the turnstile, you are on the bridge, and have to walk about 150m to the US side. I did it at 9:30pm and it was quite cold, but but it's not a tough walk. There are binoculars and a nice photo opportunity on the bridge with the Canadian and US flags.
The US side was very quick - I told the officer I wanted to flagpole, and he took my passport and filled out the form by hand. It's a dedicated form they have saying "X wanted to be denied access to the USA to process a Canadian visa" and I didn't see him enter anything into a computer or anywhere else. The officer spelled my name wrong on the form, which I asked him to correct and he did, but told me it wouldn't matter. The US side took less than 2 minutes.
Then you are returned back onto the bridge to walk the exact same way back. On the Canadian side, you now go through a small one person customs booth where the officer will check your passport and refusal and give you a yellow form, and send you the the other office. I was the only one here at the time, and he spoke into his walkie talkie as I left the building. Upon leaving, you are back in Canada. I checked in with my fiance at the parking lot (it is between the two offices), and then went into the larger office. There are dividers here and a set up for queuing, but I was met at the door by an officer who took my paperwork and passport and asked me to sit and wait. There were about 10 people waiting here.
From here it was about a one hour wait - you might want to bring toys/books/food for children. Once I was called up he tok my passport and CoPR and I was asked the standard questions - what is your current status (I was on implied visitor, so he asked a little whether I had worked since my working visa expired, how I supported myself for the time and checked the print out I had of the restoration of status application), where you are living (they asked for drivers license as proof of address, but accepted a bank statement). He asked me a couple of wrong questions - where did I live in Brampton (I live in Toronto), and what I had been doing for one year in Canada (I had been here three) which were maybe to catch me out, or his mistake? I am CEC and they didn't ask for proof of funds - though I made sure I had them. Then I was asked to sit back down.
After another 15 minutes, I was called back up to sign the form, explained my responsibilities as a PR, and told to get an SIN and OHIP card, and welcomed to Canada.
In all it was very easy. I did it at 9:30pm on a Wednesday night and it still took 2 hours - so be prepared for a wait, and to have your children wait for a long time in the waiting room.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you very much for the detailed reply and your experience flag poling.
I will surely follow as you mentioned and take advantage of this valuable experience of yours.
For now i am very much worried from Canada post's delivery status and CIC's status not changing as other fellow members are getting VISA stamped pretty quick. Their sent trackers were through and signatured by the officers. Mine is still in the middle of no where i dont want my 9 years of wait period go into drain by some one else's gross negligence.
But since its known pattern over the internet despite of the fact the turn tracker never got activated people still received their passports back. So i can say i am not the only one facing this situation.
I can only keep my fingers crossed and pray that things go smooth for every single person on this planet.
Thanks again for the reply.
