Hopefully, you would have received it by now.

Here's my advice on what you should do when you finally receive it:

You can either do one of two things -

1. Mail the passports via Canada Post - unfortunately, Buffalo requires Canada Post and nothing else - and use the utmost express mail guarantee requiring proof of delivery, receipt of confirmation, signature required, and signature confirmation - to save your skin. Also, don't forget to include another prepaid utmost expressed mail at least requiring proof of delivery to your own address so that you will receive your processed passports back in a timely fashion.

or

2. If you are originally from a visa exempt country, fly in to Buffalo and pick up your passports ASAP - immediately after you are in receipt of the PPR. Plan your trip to Buffalo so that you will arrive at the Buffalo Consulate by 7:30 a.m. in the morning on the days prescribed on your PPR. The Consulate opens at 8:00 a.m.

If you can't do option 2, then you are only left with praying, Option 1, and your fingers crossed.

If you can do option 2, then by all means do so - I am in the U.S. about 350 miles from Buffalo, and I picked up my passport.
