Passport Transit Time - CPP Ottawa

[steadz12]

How do you know they forgot to scan it? Is it still in Ottawa? I've read that sometimes it is in transit, but is not activated.

I called them up and they said they don’t know why the return envelope wasn’t scanned. The customer care personnel said that their might have a been a mistake while scanning or something and it got activated today. Don’t really know what happend there but really wishing everything works out on time

I tried to call them but no one answered. I am wondering now how long it takes to return the passport. I applied in April and it was so fast. They sent me back in 3 days. Now I need my passport and really anxious about this. Anyone can share the time line thanks

Hi all,
I was wondering if Im supposed to get an update on my account online telling me my passport has been received at CPP ottawa?
I sent my passport Oct 20th and Xpresspost tracker said it was delivered October 23rd but my CIC account has not been updated and it still says "passport request" message.

No, it is not going to change. It will only change to "approved" once they actually stamp your passport. Keep waiting.

I have a flight on the 7th of November. Any hope that I will receive my passport before that? Knowing my passport was delivered 23rd of October according to tracker.

No hope, email CPC Ottawa immediately and attach your ticket confirmations and any other documents to support urgency. In the email heading write Urgent. They may be able to fast track your passport then

I am not sure. This is what it said 'Your passport has been received at our office and will be returned to you shortly.' The tracker on my return xpresspost has not been activated so Im guessing they will send it soon. I live in Montreal and xpresspost between Ottawa and Montreal is one business day so im just waiting for them to mail it.

If you attached all supporting documents they will probably mail it out today or tomorrow. Good luck, hopefully you'll get it in time. I received mine today
