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!

I can see mine are in the mail system at Mississauga as at 11.35pm last night...am hoping they will be here by Friday but knowing Canada post it will more likely be Monday! EXCITEMENT! The call to CIC Call Centre to book an appointment to activate them as rather like pulling teeth though...gah!

They London received my passport on March 21st, but I still don't have it back or a tracking number. Driving me nuts! I had wanted to do a border run over Easter weekend.

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.

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
