Question for anyone really, who do we contact to update the forum sheet?

Ohh I looked for your seat but I couldn’t find you!

Yeah, I was on the first screen.

Hi. Did you pick up your passport? Can you share your experience?

Also, which bus services have refundable tickets? Thanks!

Yes, and Greyhound and Amtrak have them. Flexibus can be refunded as credit for future travel but not cash.

Canadian passport timeline:
Office: Vancouver
Applied: Aug 12 (express pickup with travel proof for 23rd)
Approved: Aug 16th
Went to the office and told them I’m travelling on Aug 20th: Aug 17th
Pickup: Aug 19th 3PM

For Aug 23rd travel proof I did a Greyhound bus ticket, and for Aug 20th I just wrote a letter saying I was going to travel on Aug 20th to Point Roberts, WA on foot (which I did).

In my ATIP notes the due date for remaining IN progress Status was August28. Even that date is passed now. Does anyone know if I should wait for some days or call IRCC now.

All calls from my MP office to IRCC are documented in the notes. Not sure if it is related, but my application moved just after the 2nd time they called. For those who are still waiting, it could be good to try that.

Thanks. Going to the Vancouver office on Thursday, with a greyhound ticket for Saturday.... let's see.

Lol, test invite again? How many tests do you want to give?

Oath invite can be anything from 2 weeks to 2 months.

Almost 4 months since decision made ( everything complete except oath). What do you guys suggest for the course of action? Thank you
