A few months ago I got my TRV approved and sent my passport, got it stamped, and I have it back with me. My wife's TRV was still in process. We were both applying from inside Canada.

Earlier this month, my wife got her TRV approved, and when I went to Canada Post to mail it, I quickly google the address on my phone and wrote it down in the envelope. It was mailed on a Saturday and it was delivered the next Tuesday.

A week later I found out that I sent her passport to the wrong address. I sent it to

Temporary Resident Visa Section
Case Processing Centre – Ottawa
P.O. Box 8780 STN T CSC
Ottawa, Ontario K1G 5A9

which apparently is the address to submit TRV applications by mail, not for approved TRVs. We were about to book some flights for the third week of March, but now I don't know what delays will this cause. I was guessing that they will just send it back without stamping and I would have to mail it to the correct address, but I don't know how long is this going to take.

Any advice on what should I do?

I did the same with my wife's passport.

I called IRCC after a week and they said it's been verified by a visa officer and in a queue for stamping. After a week her counterfoil generated. So i guess there's nothing to worry about. You can call IRCC to confirm the status of her passport/application.

Has anybody who got counterfoil generated last Wednesday (the 18th) gotten their tracker activated yet or passport received?
Your Tracking has not been activated yet ? Oh shit.. I have a flight on feb-03, and technically today is the 13 day they received my passport, it reach the address on Jan-10.
Looking at your delay, is scaring me.
Daam !!

Call IRCC and the agent will change your mailing address on file.
