My tracking was not activated till Apr 5 when it was showing the package arrived in Winnipeg. There was no tracking activation in Ottawa, they forgot to scan the package.

Canada post did not scanned my package once CiC posted in Ottawa, so my tracking was not activated. 2 days later there was an update saying passports have arrived in Winnipeg! Than I’ve received them the day after.
so the exact process is, there are lots of passports, all of them put inside a bin by CIC

then Canada post collects that bin and segregate based on region/ states and then put the tracking number, which takes 2 business days from the time they put it in the bin. If before 5 Pm on a day then 2 days after that day the tracking will be activated.

If after 5 PM, then consider 3 business days from that day.

This is the information details I got from a patience Canada post customer service officer

Hi,

I am CEC inland, in Edmonton.

My timeline :
Ppr April 2nd
Passport sent on April 2nd
Passport recieved on April 3rd
Application approved on April 9

Currently waiting for the return copr, but I forgot to write the tracking number :(

I hope I get an appointment or I will be able to get one... crossing the US border really scare me and it is 6 hours drive.
All of my friends had to send passport in Ottawa and they got an email right away for an appointment... I did not yet so I am stressed. I know we can call them but I heard it is long...
Hi Juanagmz, did you receive your passport back from CIC?
