Is Canada Post Xpresspost really an express service to send photos mail for PR card?

[Anjy]

Got a photo request for PR card on 6th Dec 2018. So, I sent photos and document mail the same day through Canada Post Xpresspost to get it delivered faster and track it. Next day, it was showing expected delivery date 12th Dec. After that, its adding days everyday and now its showing Expected delivery date 17th Dec 2018 How is this an express service? I'm not sure whether it will add more days tomorrow.

It's a really frustrating situation. I don't know what to do.

Did anyone send photos in mail with Canada Post Xpresspost on or around 6th Dec 2018 from Ontario to Sydney, NS? Normally, how many days it takes to get a mail delivered with Canada Post Xpresspost? Is anybody facing the same issue?​

Canada Post was on a rotating strike and now there's a backlog of deliveries.

That's what one of the customer service agent said that there are backlogs, so there will be delays. This is so disappointing
