My status changed to approved on April 20th, yet the return tracker hasn't been activated. I'm starting to feel anxious, especially after checking the processing tracker. :(
Anybody is in the similar situation or it's just me?

Would you like to share how did you get an appointment so fast? Which office?
When I called IRCC for an appointment in Etobicoke, they have mentioned wait time is around 10 weeks :eek:
Same here. I called IRCC for an appointment in Hamilton, and they said the wait time is 4-6 weeks. I haven't been contacted yet. @jazz kam do they send an email or do they call to schedule the appointment?

It is best to get them amended. You can get it done after landing. It will matter when you are applying for citizenship or pension.

Hi,
Kindly excuse my ignorance but I am guessing this step is after receiving an email requesting to send passport. In my case I received an email from
IRCC.CPCO-FinalRequest-CTDO-DemandeFinale.IRCC@cic.gc.ca. Looking at other related threads, seems to be a legit email and not a scam. Can someone please confirm.
Also, can someone please answer the following:
1. There's an Annex A at the bottom of the email. Should I just cut and paste in a separate document, fill, print and sign it?
2. Can I take and edit the photographs myself (using photoshop or https://www.epassportphoto.com/) to meet the specifications and write the required details on the back OR does it have to be taken and stamped at a photo studio?

1. not sure if cutting/pasting would work, but you may choose print email, adjust the ratio so that Annex A stays on its own page, and print out only the page that has Annex A.
2. It has to be taken by a professional.

Appreciate your prompt response. I'm based in US, by any chance do you have any recommendation on where to get the photo?
