Status will get update later on! I think you’ll be get your passport with visa on it.

I hope so, we sent inquiry 12 days ago, First earlier this morning we got reply from consulate that case is currently pending review by a consular officer and then received an email of courier tracking number. I dont know why I feel like our inquiry made trigger and they just sending back passport without a visa.

Passport is with us, given back at the end of interview with 221g. Asked to send it to them later on. 
 

and I think they only send the passport back if you ask for it? But if you didn't, must be that it's approved with visa and CEAC is slow

yeah I didnt request for the passport, we just made an inquiry about the case status and requested if they can finalize process.

Does anyone has any experience about picking up passports from "BLS Vancouver – 850 West Hastings Street Unit B 50, Vancouver, BC V6C 1E1, CA"?

 

Our cases were issued on Jan 18th, 2023 and have not receive any tracking emails. I read posts about this site and people saying if this site is selected for picking up, we will not receive tracking number and will receive pickup email directly later on. But the people who report this are mostly applying for non-immigration visas (mostly interviewed in Vancouver). Does anyone know what will happen to us on this site?

 

 

Hi, congrats on being finally issued your visa!  I came across your post just now; I'm sorry I can't help with your question as I'm not based in Vancouver, but I saw that you called the third-party mailing facility for the Montreal consulate to confirm that they recieved your passports.  Can you please kindly share the number or contact for the mailing facility?  I am trying to get confirmation that our documents were recieved by the consulate but no luck so far with emailing the consulate.  I thank you in advance, and appreciate any help!

Thank you!

 

We found their number on Google Map. Since we mailed our documents to "955 1re Avenue, Sainte-Catherine, QC J5C 1C5", so we found a place called "Clipper Ship Supply Inc" with this address and their number is +15149379561. My husband provided our tracking number and they confirmed that they received our passports and they were picked by the consulate already. Hope this helps you, and good luck!

Thank you so much for this!! i just called them and they just said "if the tracking says its been delivered then for sure they picked it up because they pick it up everyday ..." I'm not sure if he was being short with me cause it's the end of the work day here... I'm going to try to call again tomorrow earlier in the day and see if they will actually check for me that it was picked up by the consulate; like they did for you.  Goodluck with everything!  And thank you so much again!!!

Same for me since this afternoon.  Both the CEAC status check site, and the NVC site is not working for me.

You are welcome! If I were you, I would also call again tomorrow and there might be someone else who can double check for you. I think they can confirm for a specific tracking number.
