Anyone has any idea on when passport return might happen if my passport was received on 3rd April in Ottawa? Taking into consideration the holiday on Good Friday and Easter Monday. I have a flight on 21st

Hi T-Thu,

I would like to ask what does the counterfoil update look like?

I'm using the old GCkey portal and today, there appears to be a new section where my counterfoil information is shown with the codes, issue date, expiry date, etc. But I do not see see "counterfoil" above the "Original Passport Request, Correspondence" section.

Does this mean counterfoil is updated for me?

Thank you

You do not get a letter for the Counterfoil update. It will show under the sub-heading "Document" of "Document Status"

Thank you Jaskaran!

Here is my timeline:
Submission March 13
Correspondence: March 22
PPR: March 31
PP received by CPC: April 4
Counterfoil: April 13
Tracking not activated yet.

Note that my new Visa number is the same as the one shown on the Application Status Tracker portal 1 week before I got PPR. So this means that you can find out if you got approved on the Application Status Tracker before you get the official email.

Yeah, I also saw that. My counterfoil got updated on Tuesday, 11th April. Still waiting for the tracker to get activated.
