My passport reached Ft Erie on March 25th. Today, they put it in the mail back to me and I'm expecting it on Friday

So 12 business days NOT including transit time.

I sent mine on the 6th from Hamilton ON, and just like you the wait is killing me. It's strange because i didn't get stressed over the application at all, but i can't wait for my PP, i message back when i get it!

Oh no poor you!

Thats a long time, so has there been no responce for a tracking number?. I really hope you get yours this week. Does anyone know how long it takes to be posted back and what service they use?

I think someone posted that it is registered mail (signature required) from Royal Mail.

Have you e-mailed them to chase it up? Seems like a really long time to wait?

Ours got to London pn 10th March. They got back to Canada on 13th April. They were sent back by priority handling and registered delivery.

Its aweful waiting for them, and not knowing when they are going to turn up isnt?

I sent them an email on April 11th, 18th and today asking if I can get the tracking number. No replies yet.

MissClinique - I agree with you! Now we are unlikely to activate it until our trip to Scotland in June, but at the same time we just want it back and over with! lol
