NOTES: I Called the call centre and they made a note on my file, i faxed my flight info to them as well, i emailed( but i got generic responses), but in order to truly find out where my passport was i went to the member of parliment in my riding ( oliva chows office) and they were able to find out when my pp left and where it was in the process.
