Question for those of you with the experience:

I'm a USA -> Canada applicant and about a month ago I got my passport request letter (if that's still what you call it; US applicants only have to send photocopies). I sent the documents over and they arrived on September 20th at CPCO's PO Box, and were signed for. Haven't heard a peep since then and the tracking number for the return envelope has yet to be activated. I'm wondering if I should be concerned and consider contacting them since it's taken this long (I've read that it usually takes around 10 business days and I've exceeded that already). Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Also a US applicant. We sent the photos and paperwork to Ottawa and it was signed for on Sept 27. Not a peep since.
We had a horrible time trying to get it sent to Ottawa. FedEx in Arizona said it was impossible to create a return from Ottawa in their system.
He ended up mailing it to me in Vancouver and then I mailed it to Ottawa. Nightmare.

I am the sponsor and just received an email asking for additional document. Could anyone please clarify me about the following?
1. Lease document: They have asked for documents since June 2019. I have left my previous address on August and currently staying at my cousins apartment as a paying guest. So I don’t have any lease document by my name. I can provide the lease document from previous address from June to August. What do I do for August to till now? Would a letter from my cousin stating that I am a paying guest work?

I would appreciate any experienced comment on this. I am kind of worried. After almost 3 months of getting AoR 1 I have received this email today. Thanks guys.

Yeah, I had heard that people had issues getting FedEx/UPS to cooperate so we didn't even try. Luckily I live north of Seattle so having the documents sent to/from my wife's place in the Vancouver area is no problem. Still nothing for us today but be sure to update if you get anywhere!
