Passport request received last Monday.... I had actually stopped checking my email because I was tired of being disappointed each day !
We already had flights booked to leave for Vancouver in September so I'm going to fly up to Buffalo to pick up my Visa - since they won't courier them back and forth and it takes up to 15 working days to process vs. what I've heard takes only an hour or two when you go in person. A little expensive but a small price to pay to have visa in hand !
Good luck to those still waiting - keep checking your emails, you never know !
