That's annoying. I'm going to try anyway
Don't worry you will be fine. Nothing is official. Rainbow bridge is open 24/7. But try not to go in peak hours as they might be exhausted and not treat you as you are expecting.

shake hands
same here........
should we call cic to find out where is the passport
Part of me thinks every aspect of this process is going to get slower as more people are added into the pool and get invitations.
I am going to wait till next Monday when it's been a full week...

Same here. I am starting to think that Canada Post only picks up the packages once a week from Ottawa now since there are too many applications.

Still Wondering?? :p

If border is near and you want to become resident quickly then do the flag polling
If border is far and you wanna avoid USA border and you are at no rush then do at IRCC office...

received at ottawa may 30
Application approved on MyCIC on June 5th, tracker not yet activated...
Mine was approved on the 6th. They will probably be shipped by week's end and should expect to receive it mid next week. I have already booked flight+hotel for landing in 2 week and hope I get my PP by then.

June 05 approved but tracker has not been activated for me. I believe they are holding on to it as flagpoling for inalnd applicants might change.

I am also surprised as to why do they keep asking for bank balance details! We are already in Canada. We are not required to have any balance.
Maybe some applicants are not keeping the funds in their account (spending it or sending it back, etc.) and later on are unable to support themselves financially, after becoming a PR. They want to make sure you won't be a liability on the Government for help. Even though I understand applicants already go through a bunch of checks and processes, but some people do such shit and I don't blame the officers. Cheers! :)

I agree with that and fully support that, that's why I am going to take my bank statements with me.
