How long will CIC take to return my passport?

[dds2010]

I sent it via FedEx on 15th at the morning, it has been delivered on 16th at the morning also.
It seems that it's overnight.

Hi Nevo91,

I am trying to courier my passports but both FedEx and UPS refuse to give me the Prepaid Return envelope. They say they need the return date for the customs form. FedEx guy said that I should open an online account.........I am totally confused. What did you do? Please help.

Anybody's input would be much appreciated.

Oh yeah the same happened to me.
It was ridiculous processes.
Eventually, I knew what should I do.
First go to FedEx website, open an account with your info, you will be asked about your credit card info, fill in all the required info.
Then now you are verified and you have an account number.
Take the account number with you to FedEx and tell them I wanna a prepaid return envelope to Canada and I have FedEx account.
They will give you applications to fill in then you will use your account number (as a method of payment)
That's all.
Hope it helps.

Thanks, I was able to send my passports and CPC Ottawa received them yesterday. Please post on the forum when you receive yours, it'll give me an idea of the current timeline. I wanted to send a personal message to you, don't know how to do that, any suggestion?
Thanks again!

Check out this thread. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...tawa-january-2018.536293/page-27#post-6695696

Though it has a mix of all the different streams, that should help you gauge the timeline on getting your passport back. I recently got mine back and it was mailed out to me exactly 14 days after it was delivered to CPC - Ottawa. That seems be the trend at the moment. Hope that helps.

Hi, does anyone know how long it takes to get the passport back in Canada? I received PPR and send it on the same day. I need my passport to apply for EU visa in two weeks.

thanks for your help.

1-2 weeks for approval
2-3 weeks for sending passport back

Hey! I was wondering if you have any idea why sending the passport back using Canada Xpresspost takes 2-3 weeks? Shouldn't it be delivered within a week at max to most big cities in Canada? I am strictly referring to INLAND applicants. Or is the timeline different for inlanders? Thanks!
