Congrats to everyone that received passport request. Has anyone received their passport back ? or has the status on the cic website changed for anyone that summited their passport? I haven't received any email from cic since we summited our passport and the information on the website hasn't changed.

My dear we are in similar situation. My spouse and baby's passports was received on 31st of Aug. at AVO and no pick up yet. I tried reaching out to AVO and was told that the application has been referred for additional reviews in other to complete it (wondering what hat means) nothing changed on myCIC until today. Background Checks moved to in progress today. So I'm hoping they release them soon.

Amen i pray so

Good news!!!!! God has done it for my family too oo! So I'm at work and I am seeing constant messages from my hubby. He tells me it's urgent so I should call him. And to check my email before I call him. I check and there is 3 emails from AVO. One is telling us his visa is ready and to send the passport in 15 days. The second one is a recall message of the first email ( my stomach jumps and I am starting to feel sad) then the third one, full of light, again, for him to send his passport off visa issuance but this time within 7days. You should see me at my desk. I am so excited, I can't contain it....

Wow.. This is God, Congrats dear

Don't worry about. just gather,gather and gather. Overwhelm them with relevant documents proving your relationship and PPR is around the corner. Focus on new evidence and pick the most relevant from the previous evidence you submitted. My advice will be for you to arrange everything properly, group photos together and label them, if you collect notarized letters from relatives and friends or screenshots of well wishes from them on social media, group them together, chats and phone calls labeled as communication etc. just make it easy for the interviewer to go through. Look for the thread that has interview questions and go through them while referencing your former submitted documents. just make sure everything checks out and be confident. Good luck!

I need help with questions that can be possibly be ask...basically I need tips and any
information will greatly be appreciated

By the way, did you submit all these documents with your application and have you sent any additional documents since then?

 

[ooao]

Hi @ooao, my status changed to DM then pick up mail dropped after about 40 mins but it's not the same for everyone. Some don't get to see anything and it doesn't mean something is wrong. Just relax ur mind. How long has it been?

I havent received my passport yet but DHL tracking shows it will get to me tomorrow hopefully. Did u include a prepaid return envelope while sending ur passport? DHL Nigeria doesn't do prepaid return envelope so I went and paid for them to pick it up after I got pick up mail.

its been a month plus now.. ours is coming back to Canada,since my husband was visiting Canada when they requested his passport.
