PASSPORTS TO CPC-OTTAWA in April 2016

[saba_canada]

Omg i have the same situation, I sent my passport last Friday though Canada Post xpress, and the status shows reached Ottawa since yesterday, and it has been sitting there.
I went to the closet Canada post office and they suggested that I wait. It's supposed to be express courier, which should take 1-2 days. I wonder what post service other people used.

I will let you know if there is any update at my end.

Finally sent the PP package to Ottawa. Let's see how long it will take to get them back.

Hi guys,

my timeline: (inland FSW, passport tpye: Visa exception)

PPR received: Mar 23, 2016
PPR sent to Ottawa: Apr 6, 2016

Still waiting...

I wonder does my application would take longer or shorter because of holding a HK passport.

Regards,

May I know what post service you used?
I sent mine through Canada Post Express courier on April 15th, and the package hasn't arrived yet.

Thank you.

Canada Post Xpresspost. You are OBLIGED to use it as per PPR instructions anyway. I live near Toronto so signed it in at noon, it went at midnight to missisauga then took it another 12 hours to reach Ottawa delivery point, then reached them by noon next day. That's a standard for Toronto - Ottawa xpresspost.

A remainder: please everyone could you enter your passport process details in the form at my signature, and then see the average for all of us at the sheet?

Hi All

I am facing a strange issue so need your guidance.After getting PPR request , I sent the package to the following address as mentioned in teh ready for visa email :

Submit all documents by mail in a single package and send to the following address:
CPC – Ottawa – PR
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON
K1G 4B9

But even after two days teh status from Canada post shows that the package has reached OTTAWA, ON but says - Item available for pick-up. Talking to Canadapost they informed that the Office has requested for "Hold Mail" for the above address and soemone from the PR office need to pick up teh pacakge.

This sounds strange as if really someone from the CIC - PR office would come and pick up the pacakge. I had requested for the "Signature option".

Is there anyone who has faced the similar issue ?

pls. suggest . Canadapost is asking me to connect with teh Ottata Office , I dont have any number.

Nothing to worry about. You sent your letter to a P.O box. It's a box and it gets full. So CIC will ask Canada Post to stop the mail and they will pick it up when they have room. In my correspondence with CIC yesterday the agent informed me that they have huge piles of passports to stamp and the return time after an application is approved and closed is 2-3 weeks.

So do not stress. You envelope will be retrieved by the CIC and processed.

Stay calm like you have until now.

I think they have changed the processing times for passports to be sent back to two weeks , starting from April candidates. Because the people from March got their passports back within 3 to 4 days after application approval and closure.

CIC for 2-3 weeks did not give many PPRs. So then the people in March sent their PPs CIC was able to process them quickly. However, now the CIC has given many PPRs and therefore, the turn around time has gone up.

It's also taking them longer to approve and close the application once they receive the passports. I don't know which is more frustrating - waiting for PPR or waiting for passports.

This is totally normal, Just relax and everything should be fine. the process is becoming slower in April as per previous posts, it may take 2-3 weeks till you get your PP back.

During this period your application should be approved.
