Passports delivered to Ottawa on Nov 7. Approved today. My kids have passports from visa exempt country. My wife and I have Indian passports. I see counterfoil numbers only for my wife and me. Do people from visa exempt countries get counterfoil number?
Looks like counterfoil is only for non Visa exempt countries, I have a similar case. Counterfoil was not updated for my kid.

Hi
Did your return tracker activated?
I just received an invitation for the telephone landing schedule this Friday, but I haven’t received the CoPR yet. It requests CoPR for the interview, and they assume that I received my CoPR. I don’t know if I can accept the invitation without the letter with me. Any advise?

Mine is the same. Delivered to Ottawa on Nov 10th. Did you send only copies of kids' passports? Thanks!

No, I sent their actual passports. Which was likely unnecessary. But, the instruction says that if principle is from a visa-required country, then we need to send passports. When I called IRCC, I was told that it would not be problem. They would send all passports back.

Thanks. I only sent copies of passports for the kids! Hopefully, it won't be an issue.

Guys,

Let me know if someone has the same experience as that of mine.
I couriered the passports on 25th Nov and they were delivered on 27th. However, upon inquiry yesterday, I am told that they have not yet received the passports. I am a US resident having Indian passports. I followed the instructions given in the "Ready for Visa" email and sent it to the below address:

CPC – Ottawa – PR

365 Laurier Avenue West

Ottawa ON K1A 1L1

I am worried now because these are legal documents and anything lost would cost us. Did anyone experience the same? Or any suggestions?

It's OK.

For us Passport Delivery = Date when mail package was delivered by Fedex/UPS to CIC mailing room.
For CIC Passport Receipt = Date when mail is opened and Passport details are entered into system.

Right now CIC is taking around 2 weeks to open packages and until then they cannot confirm receipt of Passports.

Not really :) My Passports reached Ottawa on 10th Nov and yours on 27th Nov.

I sent CIC an email on 28th Nov and received this response on 4th Dec
