Hey, everyone. My passport was delivered by them NOV10. My status was updated NOV28, so it’s approved now, my tracking number doesn’t activated yet. I have a flight DEC14. I’m in panic. What’s your suggestions? Thank you!

Hello Julia,
I am actually headed out on Saturday and I am still without a passport in hand.
I am in a little bit of the same boat. I submitted my passport to them on 1st Nov (got there on the 2nd). i had emailed them on the 3rd of Novemeber expressing the fact that I am traveling. They approved my visa on the 23rd of November. I got an email this morning stating that they shipped my passport today(and would probably thus get to me in time).

I would suggest reaching out to them by email at CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca with [URGENT] in the subject and explain you situation. I would also suggest calling them between 0656 hrs and 0710 hrs EST (outside that period, I have had little luck reaching out to them) at 1-888-242-2100

After not really hearing anything from them, today I got an email from an agent at CPC-Ottawa saying that they shipped my passport today. Curiously, the tracking number the agent provided is different form the envelope I sent them.
I am still shitting bricks as I got a flight to catch on Saturday and on Monday, I still don't have my passport. But, everything looks like it is going to work out in time. This has probably been the most stressful to-and-fro with CIC of the 8 years I have been dealing with them. That being said, I sent in my application for PR on September 8th and am likely getting my passport stamped on December 8th so a 3 month period in total from application to stamped passport in hand isn't bad at all.

Hi everyone,

Request for passport: 6th Nov
Sent: 7th
Received by IRCC: 8th
Approved status: Dec 2nd
Still no word on when I will actually get it back- return mail not activated yet. I try calling but so hard to get through to anyone. I emailed them they said they pretty much cannot do anything for me- I need to travel on the 13th.... No idea what do do....
