[SecularFirst]

so what should i have with me for landing?
- passport;
- Copr;
- POF

CEC doesn't need POF.

CEC doesn't need POF.

I'd better have one just in case
but do i need pictures?

No. Only copr, PP and employment documents would be enough. If you want you can take all the documents you submitted with your application.

Thanks for the response. But I will only be spending 2 days in US and i don't think I can get PRTD in two days.

In this case, either delay landing till you come back or renter Canada thru land border (by foot or by your car not rented cars)

I have a trip to go on Friday the 30th and my tracker hasn't gotten activated.

My tracker is still not activated.

Base on the previous experiences shall I cancel the trip? I called CIC and they said everything was printed but it wasn't posted yet. :'(

Hi eggsterminate, what helpdesk number did you reach out to? I tried calling this number that I have also shared with others on this and other posts - +16139444000. They did not give me exact information on my passports status and instead I was told that they cannot provide this information. Just want to check if you tried a different contact number.

Thanks in advance!

Hi yodheydhara,
I called from within Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/call.asp

Telephone number: 1-888-242-2100 (only from within Canada) sequence 1 1 3 1 I believe

Based on your earlier post, since you are in the US, I am unsure if you could contact them

Got the passports yesterday, called IRCC to book landing appointment. They told me Calgary office wait time is 3 weeks, but actually Calgary office gave me an appointment next week.

Hi,
Please where in Calgary is the office located, and what number did you call to book the appointment

The Calgary office is in Service Canada building in the downtown. You need to call CIC call center and they will request from Calgary office to make an appointment for you. You cannot contact Calgary office directly.

No problem.
Do let us know if you have any luck getting in touch with IRCC. You never know. Maybe this info would be helpful to someone else in future.
