Passports to CPC Ottawa- Oct 2017

[PNPPR2016]

It seems like Ottawa is the new London Visa Office...ie SLOW as molasses.

As per our forum timeline, It’s 21days to have approval in my cic then after 3 to 5 days tracking activates..

Yeah, its very frustrating and a little scary to not have your passport with you for around a month. There are absolutely no updates since my passport was delivered last month. ugh.

Does Ottawa office have a twitter? Let me ping them

Hi Guys,

So I got an ITA in August, applied for PR on Oct 27 and was thinking that it'll take some time before PPR request comes. But on Nov 15, PPR request!

So now I have to send the passports in under 30 days from that date and was wondering if anyone could guide me as to how send passports from the US.

Do FedEx/UPS/DHL deliver to Canada and also create return shipping labels from Canada to US?

And also, how long does it take for them to stamp and send back the passports?
I'm not a US-citizen, so the thought of not having my passport with me for one month is a little unsettling.

This forum's help is appreciated, as always

I don't know about other carriers, but by Fedex, you can both send and receive packets to Canada. Create an account on fedex.com and you can create/print shipping labels with tracking.

It looks like it currently takes anywhere from 3-4 weeks atleast before they send the passport back. Mine was delivered on 27th oct and no updates since.

An alternative route would be sending an email to CPC-Ottawa and requesting sending your passport to NY VAC. NY VAC is usually faster than CPC-Ottawa (based on other users on the forum).

My application got approved online on 15th Nov. Return tracker still not activated. I see a lot of similar cases on this forum. Weird, right? Anyone talked to cic about this issue?

Hi Andy,
Just curious - why would CPC-Ottawa entertain my request? Wouldn't they say that there's hardly a different between NY VAC and Ottawa in terms of distance? Also, can you please share the email for them - I'll still go ahead and see if they entertain my request. I need to think of a strong reason for the same.

I just checked mine and its approved!!! Wohoo! Finally.

Approved finally, updated now, Nov 20 2:20pm.

Certain countries, such as India, do not allow citizens to mail passports across international borders. This could be a compelling reason.

Hi All,

Anyone from November where Passport was delivered around 7th November.

Mine was received In Ottawa on 7th November almost two weeks and no sign of any kind , I am a little worried as i made a mistake of not Putting my name behind the Photographs Just the Photographer address and Date when it was taken .

In case any one has any update please let me know . I have heard that it takes 2-3 Weeks for approval in the CIC account is it correct ?

Thanks,
