Did you get your passport ?

I called them today, they told me Sticker has been printed on Dec 11th so I should expect it this or next week sometime. My passport delivered on Nov 14th.

I just got off the phone few minutes ago too with the CIC agent. I have the same delivery date as your (Nov 14th). He told me they have 4weeks max to hold my passport (said this after he placed me on hold to contact the dept he said). So, hopefully this or next week...we should get our passports. My CanadaPost tracker not activated yet. Approval date: Dec. 7th *fingerscrossed*

What postal carrier did you use to send your passport to Ottawa?

Dude, we both have the same info but PPR. I am also very nervous.

I spoke to the agent today. The 30th day count is from the day they open your package and enter information about it in their system.

Mine was delivered on 14th November, but they opened it only on November 29th. It means that I would be getting my passport during the first week of January.

Did you ask whether the visa is printed or not yet??

I emailed cic ottawa yesterday (just taking chances) and got response today. The email address I sent to can be found in your ready visa request. Try e-mailing them in case you can't get thru the phone. Hope you get response soon.

Thanks for your comment.
That's what I hoped for, but the agent told me the number of applications pouring in are in 1000s and there's holiday season coming up. He said I would be getting it latest by Jan first week.
