CEAC says it was approved today. Weird thing is I have not been receiving any emails. I remember last time they were sending emails for each status change.

Where should I check the status? When I’m trying to check the status in CEAC portal it say ‘your search didn’t return any result’. I dropped documents at canada post on Tuesday afternoon. Ottawa consulate received the package on yesterday.
