How do you guys know that your tracker is activated.
 
Did you provide return envelope ? If yes, put the tracking number of that envelope .

If you didn't, they'll send your passport by regular mail.

What is your location? Are you in Canada or outside?
 
wolaaaa Just realized that tracker activated yesterday evening :), passport out for delivery today. Details updated in sheet.
 
Why doesn't CPP allows people to come personally for visa stamping?
I mean that would reduce the waiting time for people and also there is no chance of losing the passport intransit

One of my friends had a bad experience of losing her passport when she applied for another country's visitors' visa. Since then I am sorta scared.

I have received my passport today.

Thank you everyone for your help.
when did CEC receive ur passport? congratz :)
 
I understand that if your TRV and TWP expire, then you have to apply a new TWP but TRV is optional because you need a TRV only if you go outside Canada and re-enter. In this case, if you apply for PR and send your PP for stamping to visa office, they will see that you have the required TWPs but maybe your TRV expired much earlier. Will that be an issue? I believe the immigration officers should have a good understanding of CIC rules but they might specialize in different areas. So a PR officer may or may not have enough information regarding the TRVs (depending on their experience).
