Hello,

Here is my timeline:
8/31/2022: TRV within Canada applied online
9/29/2022: Request for passport
10/6/2022: Passport arrived at Ottawa
10/27/2022: TRV approved
10/28/2022: tracking got activated
11/1/2022: passport is delivered
(Canada post almost lost my passport. Lesson Learned never use Canada Post for passport or anything important).
Canada post lesson learned items: Always double-check or triple check with the person who is at the desk at Canada post to include a signature request for both envelope. She included it in the envelope going to Ottawa but forgot to include it in the counterfoil envelope so when the tracker got activated, it shows my passport was delivered to my mailbox without a signature but my passport was not in my mailbox. I was freaking out and I ask around my neighbors, I opened a ticket with Canada post and went around nearby Canada post offices to see if my passport is there. I didn't find it. Canada post was not really helpful and did not give me any info on the mailman contact or the investigator contact. So I took a day off of work and sat next to my mailbox the next morning until the mailman show up. When he showed up I asked him to search for it and we found out that he put my passport in the wrong mailbox number so stocking your mailman helped. The address in the envelope was correct but the mailman made a mistake. If I didn't do this, my passport would be at a wrong address or went back to Ottawa. I googled Canada post losing passport, it seems very common, especially in Nova Scotia. So next time I will opt out to use other companies such as Fedex/UPS/DHL or whatever private one that is expensive. Do not trust Canada post, it is not just me many folks have lost their passport and only receive refund for it but who cares about refund the process to re-order passport and being stuck in Canada without a passport is a nightmare. So be careful when using Canada Post, I do not trust them anymore)

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I heard that we can use private couriers (UPS/FedEx, ...) ONLY for mailing passport to Ottawa but for the return, it should always be XpressPost pre-paid envelope which is for Canada Post, otherwise, they will use regular Canada post mail. I am not sure if this is correct or not?
Have you or anyone tried private couriers for return envelope? I appreciate it if you can explain the experience a little. Thanks

Hi All, Please is there anyone that has applied for a TRV while on implied status and waiting for their approval. I want to know what their experience is. I know this sounds crazy, but I am thinking of applying for TRV, getting my PGWP 2/3 weeks after and then attaching the permit to the trv application. Please advice. Thank you.

I won't recommend you to apply TRV before getting your pgwp as you need to provide proof of your SP/PGWP approval letter/permit with the application if you're applying TRV on the basis of your PGWP. Also, you get V-1(visa till expiration of your passport) category TRV under this criteria only. Wait for your approval letter. You can apply with your approval letter, no need to wait for physical copy.

Also,this may delay your pgwp application.

Thank you for your response. Your perspective is wise especially from the angle of it delaying my pgwp application.

ICT WP until 2024. applied TRV paper Sep 9th. PR e-APR 21 Oct. No update on PPR yet. IRCC says (since past 3weeks) everything completed but they just need to send PPR letter. not sure if I ever get it due to ongoing PR app.

Anyone in similar boat?
