passport

[krone]

 hi!!  can anyone advise me how can i get my passport back?  I passed (sept 6,09)my documents to canadian embassy london, and they told me that they need my original passport.  I send my passport (oct. 1, 09) to the canadian embassy london as what the embassy told me to do. But i was booked by my employer dec 12 going back to philippines for a christmas vacation and until now i dont have any call from the embassy.  is it possible for me to get my passport back,asap??  what do i need to do??

thank you
