Hi everyone. I've been waiting for my passport that was mailed to me last November 26, 2013 through regular mail according to CPP-Ottawa. Until now December 9, my passport is still yet to arrive. It's been 9 business days and still have no idea what happened to it. I called canada post and they can't look for it because it has no tracking number. They advised me to just wait. But for how long? It's been two weeks and i fear that they have lost my passport. I'm already on my vacation and counting down to what's left of it. Is there any case that they lost passports in regular mail. Or maybe just been sitting on my local post office warehouse because it was a parcel. It already costed me $450 to cancel my flight and not receiving it before January will cost me $1000 more.
Why its on regular mail? Did not u send a return xpresspost envelop?

Yes it's my fault I didn't send a prepaid Xpresspost. I also sent it through regular mail but it went through and was decided and mailed back to me November 26 according to CPP-Ottawa. The problem now is with Canada post. It is my fault for not reading the tips in sending visa applications. But all required documents are there. It is also my mistake to trust Canada post to deliver it. I mean, this is the only time I am expecting a mail that has gone past a week late. Never again would I trust them and their 96% delivery standards. I just hope they didn't lose my passport. :(

Well, you should have really used an xpresspost service if you had such tight plans of vacations!! :eek: also its a PASSPORT!!!! I would never prefer to use regular mail for such thing. Also, now I'm sure you wont even be able to track your return package since you haven't sent any xpresspost return envelope!! Canada post is a nightmare. delivery takes forever. However, I dont think they will loose your package. Dont worry, you have no choice now.. you need to wait more.. its taking 10-20 days after its been received by Ottawa office to ship it back and then the delivery time which depends on where you stay considering regular mail is relatively longer time to receive...

dont worry, I really dont think they would loose a package that easily.. you just need to wait longer.. check the passport return spreadsheet to get some more idea about CPP-O processing time

Don't worry. You should get it soon. Sometimes Canada post is very slow. If possible, raise a service ticket at canadapost website.

dont wanna discourage you but inter- province will take relatively longer time. also depends where you stay. Victoria will be faster as I think mails first reach the capital city and then your city the next day. I'm just guessing this based on my sent package to Sydney, Nova Scotia cuz it was first scanned in Halifax (capital of Nova Scotia) and reached Sydney the next day morning
