if you're in Alberta and Coutts is the most accessible then by all means go there.. Just try to avoid an officer named officer Bly. He's an old guy probably in his 50's. There are probably 3 or 4 of them there per shift and if they're not busy then you can choose which officer to approach or you might be luckier, he might be on a day off when you go there. I don't wanna go into details, it was one of those things you wish you could just forget.. the worst part of it is that I didn't really do anything to piss him off. I was just like everyone else, excited and happy to finally get their PR. He kind of gave me an impression that he's not very fond of immigrants and foreign workers which is kind of funny because he's under immigration services. But then again i don't know, he must be having a really rough day that time. Just try to avoid him as much as you can and don't ever let a rude border patroller ruin the experience.
 
Hi there,

Is there anybody here still waiting for their passport to comeback from Ottawa? They received mine on October 18 and until now my tracker is not activated yet.

Still waiting for my passport...just hit the 2nd week today though (sent on November 5, 2013)
 
I sent my PP yesterday, hope i will get it within 3 weeks
 
Still waiting for the passport to comeback.

My representative emailed them on Monday and got a response last night at 11:30pm PST. Looks like they are running night shifts.
CIC said that our passports is in queue. They received it on October 18.

This wait is killing me but I am keeping my faith.
 
I sent my passport on 11/15. I hope I'll get it back before the holidays. Anybody knows when do they start their holiday?
 
I emailed them they replied saying that they've received our passports and it's currently in queue for processing, however they can't give an estimate on how long it takes. Getting pretty anxious :p

That was also their response to me that I am pretty sure a generic answer to all applicants who emailed them. When they did received your passport?
