Agent received mine on 04/08 too, and i called CIC on Monday as well and got it approved on CIC yesterday. Guess our passports will be dispatched together. Crossing fingers very soon!

Are you going to book an appointment to land at an IRCC office or do flag-poling?
Yes. Hope we get the passports soon. I haven't yet figured out the best way. I read abt few ppl having faced delays at the rainbow bridge. Could someone suggest the best way to land from the US?

Learnt something new today after talking to the agent lady.

It has been 27 days since delivery to ottawa from the US, no updates on the cic profile.

Today finally the agent says that case notes state that visa were printed onto the passports. However she can't be sure why the cic profile wasn't updated.

Here comes the new part. Apparently my passports are in "quality control" and only after they are satisfied that there are no mistakes they will release it for dispatch... Whatever that means... I just told the nice lady that I want my passports back.

"quality control" is something i have not heard about.

Does it really take another 7-10 days after application is approved on CIC to when the passport is dispatched back?
Mine got approved on the 17th, yesterday I called them and they said there was a note that my package was to be picked by Canada Post on the 22nd, yet tracker only activated today around 5pm ET
