We are a couple months behind you, in the same boat. I guess all we can do is wait until it's done. Luck of the draw.

Fingers crossed you get yours soon.

I read you can possibly get an open work permit if you are waiting for PR. You should look into that, to see you through until PR arrives.

Hey Guys, I have sent my passport to CPP-Ottawa 15 days ago after I have got my passport request and I am still waiting. Does anyone knows how long does it take to send me back my passport with the visa stamped! Thanks!

alexbellamy

It was 3-4 weeks for me.

For the record, if you are British, no visa gets stamped. You get the COPR (or CPR as they call it in the instructions from CPP). Assuming you really did send your passport and are not visa exempt then it may be a bit longer to issue.

Hi Alex, just wanted to ask you if you sent your passport to this address: CPP – Ottawa PO Box 9780Ottawa ON K1G 4B9 ?

My passport was received on Mar 12, it's been a month already, and I'm still waiting. I've booked my vacation and purchased air tickets leaving on Apr 26 before I even received PPR so I'm pretty worried... I only have 2 more weeks to wait... started to doubt if I sent to the right address and if they've really received it...

I sent email to Pilot CPP Ottawa regards to this issue 2 weeks ago hoping that they can help me and return before the end of the month. I also attached my e-airtickets for reference, but they never reply me, and call centre rep would not answer or do anything for me either. I dont know what else I can do, should I send another email to CPP Ottawa? any suggestion? plz......

many thanks to any opinion

Hi,

I sent mine to the non PO box address via Courier. But that address is correct.

Hold on there I'm sure it will be fine. I would send a mother email if I was you emphasising the urgency.

There is a good thread on canadavisa tracking timelines of passport return. Its worth a look.

Good luck.

For the timeline record for the topic, we landed today at Philipsburg QC. Very easy. Not another soul in sight at 1.30pm which made for a short wait. SIN numbers changed shortly afterwards downtown. Just need to tell Quebec, health card people, driving licence people, the bank and CRA now!

Trying to plan a months holiday to the States in June but wary because paid ROPR and sent in a requested personal status update. Although nothing changed on Canadian Immigration Website Update I fear that they may ask for passports (or copies of)in near future. Is there an average time from ROPR to passport requests or would I be safer staying at home?

Guys, i sent my passport March 19 and i got it today, it took exactly 4 weeks! Good luck for everyone!

Dorftrottel - It took me 35 days, Feb 27 to Apr 3.

I think 4-6 weeks is a fair expectation, however estimating the time it takes for the CIC to process things isn't an easy task...

Congrats Alex_73!

Dorftrottel

Thanks for that - will just hang loose and see what happens - no point in stressing.

Hi Dorftrottel,
Did your Ecase changed to decision made as well…I got a RPRF around end of March, the fees was submitted and everything but I haven’t got PPR yet and my ecase has been changed to decision made…wonder if yours or any anybody else has same status…thanks!!

MrWindUpBird

I'm the same.

Dorftrottel

As of today there has been no change to the Ecase status for me - would be nice though! Glad to see your on track.
