If you have sent them 2 envelopes,( 2nd for return to you). They will use your second return envelope to send the passport. You was suppose to take the tracking sheet off from the returning envelope, so that you can track it after 2-5 days. If you have only sent one envelope, they will send your passport with regular mail, that you can't track.
For GCMS notes, i have experienced electronic notes via email are way better and always on time. Have no clue for CDs

If I may ask for some more clarification, when you say "You was suppose to take the tracking sheet off from the returning envelope", is it like I have to buy an envelope from Canada Post with a tracking sheet on it and send that to CIC ?

Kindly confirm if my understanding is correct,
When sending the passport, I have to send the following in an envelope to CIC,
1. Passports
2. Another envelope with a Canada Post tracking number on it to be used for sending the passports back

Thanks!

From the great info site canadavisa.com. Lol.
I am tracking spreadsheets as well. Based on current trends, people are getting their passport back within 4-5 days. Even depend upon if applicant has sent xpress or priority or regular mail. Cic received my passport today morning. Lets see if i fall in current trend. You will be able to track the return package, as soon as cic mailed out your package. So you will get an idea. Moreover, days could vary, as i have seen few people hasn't got passport back even after a week.

Thanks Mona, I think my and yours case is pretty similar because Ottawa received my passport yesterday morning which 6th May and looks like they will send our passport at the same time. Once you receive your passport please write it here because I don't check my mail box and I did not record return envelop tracking number. I was gonna do that but I forgot it. mine is express envelop too.

Wish you all the best to everyone.

Thank you
Chintu

When we buy expresspost or priority post envelopes, they automatically have a paper on it, where we write "to" and "from". That paper had a tracking no on it as well. You will tear the top sheet and bottom sheet stays on envelope. Or you just write down the tracking no.
For the second envelope inside the envelope, you write down your address on " to" section and do same tear top sheet or write down tracking no to track returning package. Regular mail also can be registered and convert to trackable.

In envelope,
We send
1. Passport
2. Request letter which is email for passport request.
3 returning envelope with your address on "to" section.


I hope it help

Hey guys just received my passport back today! ;D
Will be going to Niagara Falls on Thursday and will report back with the experience :D

What's the date on the CoPR?

Its' true the email has mistakes on every line.

"We trying", "advised scinse when you leave in Canada"? WTF!! Is that english?

But my question is: how did this email come from a Valid CIC email??

You can contact Ottawa. Tell them you received this email and ask them if this is a Valid request or not.

If this email is not from CIC, the email address is not legit. One can fake email addresses easily.
Forward the email to CIC and see what they have to say or call the hotline and verify.
 
To whoever is interested:

I created a small forum for us on my website > http://cectoolkit.weebly.com/
Here's the link > http://cectoolkit.weebly.com/forum.html#/20140506/class-of-september-2013-3914207/

Thought that this would be a nice way of staying in touch and sharing details about our lives
after becoming PR and not having to spam in this forum, as it will not CEC Class related anymore.

Join me if you want :) I will keep posting about milestones and what I've been up to.

Here's the link again > http://cectoolkit.weebly.com/forum.html#/20140506/class-of-september-2013-3914207/
Bookmark, sign up and share!

I will also copy/paste this post every now and then, just in case some members don't check in on
a regular basis, so everyone gets to know about the forum.

Also join the fun @ http://cectoolkit.weebly.com/forum.html#/offtopic/

I don't think u r right here. This is the legit cic email. Can you explain why u think this is not legit and can you please show the difference between the legit and this email address? Spelling might be wrong but it might depend on person to person.

I did not say it was a fake email. I said if it wasn't from CIC, then the email address would have been faked, it's easy to
send from a fake email address and make the recipient believe that the email is legit. I think you got my post wrong, buds.

The spelling is HORRIBLE and we're talking about CIC here, don't you think that CIC employees should have some kind
of language standard? I sure do!

So if I was the recipient of the email I would call CIC and verify that they've send that email, or email CIC and ask, nothing
wrong with asking, right?

I'm afraid if I contact CIC to confirm the validity of the email it would create a scenario and put my application on hold and they will investigate further.

Well, then go ahead and respond to the email :) Do as they ask.
