Waiting for Passport - Please add your case here

[TheRedDevil]

Quite a bit of situation here: Canada Post website says "Item successfully delivered" at around 6pm today. But ironically nothing in my mail box... No missed delivery notice, no community post box key, nor anyone came to my door. Am bit worried..... It was xpresspost envelope....... Is a signature required when passport is returned?

If you purchased a "signature required" sticker when you sent the envelope along with your passport, they will need a signature. Otherwise they just leave it in your mailbox or you have to go ask your local post office.
It happened to me last time I applied for TRV extension. I had not purchased a signature required sticker. Tracker showed item successfully delivered but no notice was left at the door. Nothing was in the mailbox either. Next day I called customer care and they didn't have any other information (who delivered it, etc) except that the item was successfully delivered at the destination address. They couldn't track it at all so a case was opened for me.

Luckily the passport was in my mailbox the next day without any notice. I was never contacted by Canada Post regarding the case they had opened...

Just call them and see if they can help you out. Also, check your mailbox tomorrow as well.

@TheRedDevil
Thanks a lot ...i guess there isn't much to do and wait till tomorrow as you suggested. We called the CP call centre and they opened a case and said we need to contact the sender in case we don't receive it by tomorrow.

I am always scared of CP, but why the hell CIC ask us to use CP if they know all abt CP.
God Help me my passports are in their hands.

Can't we make a complain against CP. How can be they so careless? I hate them. Moreover, CIC ask only use the CP envelop or they use regular mail. Which is more worst. What the hell.
What's deal with signature required sticker....? Just make it simple courier asshole. Even their own employee does not know about what is that? When I brought my envelop then lady told me "YES. IT WILL REQUIRED A SIGNATURE" but then I figured that out I did'not buy that option. I am so pissed off with her and of course mine mistake too. I should not have believed her.

Any ways. God bless us and we receive our passport safely in our hands. CP is the scariest part.

Hi,
I have sent my passport for stamping and it was reached Ottawa on 10-Nov-2014 and my ecas status changed to "Decision Made".
My current Work permit is valid till 30-Nov-2014.
If in case, If I dont receive my passport, do I still need to apply for BowP.

Could you please help me in clarifying this.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I would't apply for a BOWP. CIC has been very fast to send passport back. By the time you get your BOWP you will probably be landed.

Got some dumb questions but please bear with me...

All work permits? I've had 3 or 4... due to extensions.. damn it I'll have to find the old ones.
Bank stuff is all electronic... Nothing comes in mail. PayStub for how many months?
Driving License doesn't have the same address as the work permit. Can I still show that?
NOA could work?

Take the Latest one that would work .

You can go to your bank and ask for Statement , Paystub for last 3 months I feel ok , I am taking Last 3 to prove my Employer Name and that I am employed.
Driving License doesn't have the same address as the work permit. Can I still show that?
Not a problem , But your Ecas address matches with Driving License r8t ? That will suffice.
NOA could work?
No need for NOA
