Finally received approval! I learned that by calling CIC, waiting for 40minutes and talking to an agent. If you call now you may talk to a real person.

yap i called the Canada Post hotline this morning and there will be a delay for mail. My tracker does not have the expected delivery date, meaning it will take a while. Hope our passports won't get lost.
