My COPR expired in May apparently and I still don’t have my passports.

Age old template again for my webform. Now all I have to do is learn to rest assured that passport has been safe with them for the last 5 months with no certain date of return. Good day Prasanna Venkataraman, Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). We...

Thank you. Yes, now I understand your process better. I have been trying to contact CPC Ottawa but they don’t seem to respond on case basis. They use the same template for any query or request. But I will contact them again. Thanks, you reply definitely was reassuring. The wait has been been...

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate you taking time to update with your experience in detail. I was instructed to send my passport directly to CPC-O though. But your reply is kinda reassuring that my passport isn’t lost. It’s baffling why they wouldn’t process and return original passports when...

Thank you. Yes, I have tried that. I will try again this week.

Thanks for the reply. I prefer to have my passport back at least. I am in limbo now. Should I consider my passport lost as I see no one in my timeline still awaiting passport return ?

FSW-O Applicant form USA Original passport sent on March 16, 2020 (Yes, you read it right. Close to 5 months back). Sent numerous webforms and emails to just get the same old template responses. Anyone in the same timeline and boat as me? Any advice on what to do now from my end would be...

I thought I was the only one. I have sent them emails thrice and received response only once in May acknowledging my passport receipt. Not sure how to contact them to follow up anymore. Webform, more emails, FaceTime, Zoom? I have no idea what to do. I am really concerned about my passport more...

Sure will do. The wait has been excruciating. That’s 4 months of living in a foreign country without passport. It’s highly stressful. I hope IRCC can empathize a little with our situation and expedite our applications now. Hope to hear something this week!

Yeah they acknowledged they have my passport back in May. I have sent them another email. No reply yet. I hope they return my passport with or without stamping and I am frustrated about how disorganized the whole process is.

Outland applicant from USA who is convinced that the passport is lost forever now. Waiting since March 16. I only wish I could have kissed my passport goodbye before sending it out. Don’t know why they would hold original passports for more than 3 months. I wanna see what thesis they publish on...

Not me but a lot of people did. What’s your timeline?

It’s the case everywhere around the world. We are always at their mercy. At this point, all I care about is getting my passport back with or without stamping. They have held it for 100 days now.

Let’s hope to get them back soon.

Sailing the same boat since March 16th. There’s no way to call IRCC from USA. They do not appreciate calls from outland applicants. Same generic response to my email.
