Ideally it should be reaching you in about 2-3 days, depends on when they actually mail it out. I got mine in about 5 days (2 being the weekend!)... hopefully, you wrote the tracking number that you can check on CP website...

02/16/08 - Green card received!

*headdesk*:

01/02/09 - Réjean loses his wallet containing his drivers license, Social Security card, and green card

02/04/09 - Our best friends bail us out by giving us the money to file for the replacement green card!

02/12/09 - E-filed I-90 for the replacement green card along with the $370 filing fee (including biometrics)

02/19/09 - NOA1

02/25/09 - Biometrics appointment

01/28/10: Biometrics (did walk-in due to Réjean being out on the road on original date of 02/10/10)

02/03/10: APPROVED!!!

Had an interview on a wednesday, and they said they would mail it on thursday, but when I checked canadapost website they had mailed it the same day of my interview, so I received it on thursday. 1 business day for me! But I live in Montreal like 15 min from the embassy so ot probably helped for the mailing time. Just got lucky they mailed it the same day.
